I think this is a problem....

[Miles Long]

I'm eager to see what Fire-Medic has to say about this one...............:clapping:

Why not use the stg 7 oil recovery set up, condense the vapors and route the oil back into the base....pretty sure Sean has the puke can, hoses & special oil fill cap.

 

[dannymax]

Building off this, could it also be a valve issue? If so can anyone tell me what/how to adjust them?

You are going to need a shop manual...here's the Haynes manual links

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?:bang head:

That's exatly what it sounds like, but it holds strong until the motor backfires.

Sounds like I should clean everything up in the area either way. At least I know the oil coming out of the filter isn't flammable now :eusa_dance:

Oil is flammable!!!

 

[blaxmax]

Take the battery off asap_!!!---time bomb!!!

 

[one2dmax]

oil is flamable but not as easily ignited as you'd think.

 

[blaxmax]

Seriously, you would turn that key?:ummm:

To be honest I think it's overflowing with oil as well, I think the previous owner put in a whole quart more than was called for...

Once I get that dealt with and clean the tubing/replace the crankcase vent filter I'd imagine most of that will go away

 

[blaxmax]

Did you ever hear of that guy that landed on the airplane in detroit with a bomb in his underwear?
My friend you have the same setup!!!

I spent 35 years in west texas (midland) and you are going to tell me about oil?:rofl_200:

 

[one2dmax]

LOL, not saying it won't burn but it's not nearly as easy to light off as a fuel derivative (processed oil lol). Plus, unless there is a loose connection then that battery could be submersed in fuel and not be a problem.

 

[blaxmax]

Sorry sean but all i am saying is i would encourage this guy at all means to take this battery away from where it is to stop any and all hazards from blowing up in his face or anyone around it.

 

[blaxmax]

I'm sorry but that looks to me like the most dangerous photo i have ever seen on this site.

If anyone has a spare battery that will fit the stock slot I'll pay for shipping

I'd like to move it for safety but I'm next to broke right now xD

The MVA hit me with a $190 charge for the title transfer and tags :bang head:

Once you put everything back to stock....carbs...airbox....etc....you wont have to worry about it blowing from the crankcase filter.....because there isnt a crankcase filter anymore.

 

[DigitalArts]

Wel if I get rid of the vgas I'm definitely going to replace it with either stage 7 or Morley's because of the exhaust system

 

[D-Max2012]

I'm still trying to figure out why the PO modded the bike like that? What was the benefit?

 

[PATMAX]

Award for Most Creative and Bizzare Mod with a useless gain in function or purpose I've ever seen done to a Vmax and I've seen some bad **** since 85!
This just reminds me when buying a Vmax to pop off the airbox cover just in case. Holy hell man, better you than me but an easy fix to get it back to normal.
