I am going to say its an electrical problem and has nothing to do with the fuel. Carbs and problems with them dont typically vary over a short amount of time, so if a needle valve isnt seating, or if there is something else going on with the carb, its going to be quite evident from the second...

Paid $12,000 for mine. Played with it for a couple years, changed the exhaust, tail light and a few bits. Added 3,000 miles to it. Just sold it for $12,000

Well at least you know that everything works properly and all you have to do is find your little electrical gremlin. Seeing as how you can key on and its like you didnt even turn the key.....I'd check the keyswitch itself. the only other thing I'd be looking at would be all of your ground...

Yeah, the rider does look quite small. If you notice, whatever caught up to him in the turns was falling back in the straights! :biglaugh:

Nice video showing the handling potential of the gen 2 on a track. Gen 2 shows up about 0:45 sec in. Very impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jIHk3-Mz8_I

+5,000,000 on that one!!! Oh and welcome to the forum. Great people around here.....other than myself.... : )

:whistlin: never mind me.......

Great story, sounds like fun! I do love that heart pounding adrenaline rush that you get while about to race!! I got a little adrenaline just by reading your stories. Your bike must be a real attention getter...got any pictures?

Yeah, Eau Gallie is right up the street from me. I hear ya on the crazy prices in Daytona during bike events. I did not install the supercharger kit on the bike, but from talking with the guy who makes and sells the kits, the carb is already modified to work under boost. It's actually a very...

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Patmax, I live in Melbourne FL

The day has come that I have listed my VMax for sale. She is an amazing bike and will be surely missed. This does however give someone else the opportunity to own and appreciate this beautifully customized beast. This is my 3rd VMax, so I'm sure I'll end up with another sooner or later!! I...

I'd say it depends on how much spare time you have, what your spare time is worth and how much you enjoy troubleshooting and working on bikes as opposed to riding. If that bike has been sitting for so long, it is going to need LOTS of time and $$$ to get her street worthy and reliable. Getting...

I've had both the smoked tail light and the red tail light on my current and previous max. They are bright for their size and perfectly functional. Nothing extra needed for wiring it up. I have also had the turns on both bikes. They are small, but definitely visible. Obviously bigger turns...

A valve wont stick and un stick repeatably at different RPMs. The in and out pulses are normal in my opinion. If the bike runs OK above 3kRPM, there is no need to pull the engine. Sounds like carb issues to me.
