Another benefit to sorting out my carb troubles is that I went from 25mpg on my best day to 39mpg. Mighty rare day when a guy can get huge performance gains and fuel economy to boot.

Good evening. I have installed The Morley Muscle Jet Kit using the Mikuni 150 Mains. Synchronized the carbs and took it for a rip. This bike has NEVER ran so good! Thank you Mr’s Jones and Medic for helping me. Shout out to Sean Morley for providing an excellent product and guidance as well.

You guys are the best! Appears that I'll be paying Morley's Muscle a call for parts. I

Thanks guys! Pretty sure I can confirm that the needles are Dynojet Stage 1 so it would make sense as Casey suggested that the mains are Dynojet as well. If I understand you guys right, Stage 1 stuff is useless. What are expected gains with the Stage 3? Will I need to modify my airb box...

Good day to you All, Back in my mis-spent youth I had a shop install a Handle 4-2-1 exhaust on my Vmax. They said they could never get it running worth a hoot with a K&N filter (not pods, the one piece filter similar to the OEM design) so they stayed with the OEM air filter. It never did seem...

I can ignite the tire doing a hole shot from a stop sign and it will pull hard through all of the gears at wide open throttle. When I am at idle, being have, and not getting after it is when I'm having the most trouble. Does this help? I have verified that I'm getting spark to the...

Just before I put it away last year it was acting the same. I didn't verify the cold header pipe though. After spending some time this winter reading through the many posts on here is when I really got to thinking and checking things over. I hope to get checking and cleaning and shotgunning...

Thanks guys!

Marsmax85, I have listed my vin on the survivor page. I'm nowhere near the oldest

What should a feller expect to have for air pressure in the forks on an '85 VMAX? Mine seem awfully soft. MT Pockets

Hello all, I finally had time this evening to give my '85 a good wash and make it ready for the riding season. After talking to her nicely, she finally fired up. Things didn't sound quite right and after feeling all of the headers, I found the front left didn't want to put blisters on...

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome. I have a few things to get out of the way and then turn my attention to her highness. I'll keep you all posted.

Mine certainly not the oldest but has a cool last four of the VIN. Mine is 4321

Without getting all soppy you bet I'm a lucky man. Great mother, hard worker, very intelligent, and my best friend are all things that describe her. Thanks for welcoming me into the group. Brad

I posted this on the "Introduce yourself" sticky but wasnt sure how much traffic that gets. My apology for redundancy. Hello all, Years ago I bought an '85 VMAX. Loved it, rode it, modified it, and replaced tires often. Being young and had more money than I knew what to do with it all, I...
