I have stock pipes that have been drilled with i'd say 1/2" holes and what looks to be stock jetting. A/f screws are around 2 1/2 turns out, maybe a bit less. Also I have a bit of a surge (needle goes +/- 50 or so intermittently) at idle...when steadily cruising it looks rock solid. Also I...

Hey all, OK I can't seem to get a rolling burnout on my max. I've lost the rear a bit once before, and maybe have done it once but i can't consistently shred rubber. I let go the clutch, and maybe am going about 5mph, and then hammer the throttle...it goes pretty good but no burnout...

Thank you guys for all the info...I think I do have a similar problem to naughty. I notice that the pops occur out the muffler, not at the front of the header so I'm betting pipes are sealed well to the engine. The rubber boots at the airbox are good, but I haven't looked at the other ones as I...

That's also an idea, thank you!

Ok the previous owner went to town on my A/F screws and they are stripped beyond salvage- anyone have any good tips to try and get them out and replace?

The headers I will check, but I cannot adjust the screws because the owner before me had pretty much destroyed the screw heads. Any ideas on how to extract those screws so I can replace them?

The carb boots i'm referring to are the ones between carbs and airbox; they look good. The boots between the intake and carbs I haven't checked because I'm trying to avoid a carb resynch. Do you guys think the boots between the carbs and intake could be causing these symptoms?

Well I took off the muffler because of the popping, reasoning that if it's an exhaust leak it wouldn't occur with open headers....but it does. I'll check the carb boots a bit better and tighten the pipe at the intake...maybe it'll be better...

It doesn't appear to be the carb boots, they feel quite rubbery all over and no cracks that I can see/feel. And the popping is at the exhaust...could the exhaust pipes be loose at the intake? Although I'd imagine that part of the pipe would be first to warm up and not take 5 miles to do so...

Ok, somewhat odd issue. I keep getting popping at the exhaust when riding the bike in the morning. I took off the muffler and am currently running straight header pipes. I warm the bike for ~5 mins in the morning, ride to work about 4miles and popping (sound like little gunshots) slows from...

Yes the black ones would go well with my black muffler...how much are you looking for the pipes?

Hey guys, I've been getting a good bit of pop when cruising at 3-4K rpm. It looks to be an exhaust leak, I could feel air escaping right at the base of the conical muffler section where there is an opening to the rest of the muffle and exhaust system. So I took off the muffler; I can still...

yup MD/NOVA local here!

yea I've been looking on ebay for tool kits for the max (if only for that little tool you need to adjust the steering head), but I think i'll get a metric kit or take the one from my magna...girlfriend wouldn't know what to do with it anyhow haha. Yea it probably is a k&n but I haven't had a...

Thank you all! I appreciate your help and now I can sleep better lol...btw would anyone know of a substitute tool kit that I could fit in the max? My current one doesn't have it.
