Thanks to all so far. I have installed the dual cybermax projector light system with 55 watt hid lamps and ballasts that pull 16 amps starting up and 8 amps running. All turn signals have been converted to led. I can calculate total amp draw, that's the easy part. My biggest concern is not...

Hello folks, I am upgrading to hid lighting and was curious what is the maximum safe amps you can draw on a 2001 V-Max fused off the battery of course for feeding relays before you risk damage to the alternator or components ( stator, rectifier, regulator).

Yes, and yes. Just found in she shop manual how to ohm it out to verify it is in limits. It's factory 2001 with 26,000 miles on it so will replace it anyway before this long trip I have planned. Thanks for the response.

Forgot to add, the fast cycling sounds nothing like the normal quick cycle filling the carbs, it like a high speed chatter.

Hello guys, was hoping someone has ran into this before. When the max gets up to temp and the fuel pump is hot as well, it starts hyper cycling and doesn't supply enough fuel to carbs to keep idling. This happens with fuel cap off and I checked filter is clear. Only happens when fuel pump is hot...

Thanks for the recommendations.

Yes, exactly. Turns out after research it does have the dynojet stage 1 kit installed. Slide are drilled with the bit that was supplied in the kit, 170 DJ mains, and the crappy stage 1 needles and springs. I moved it up from 3 to 2nd slot so we'll see how that does. For all the bad I've heard...

Update, Murphy's law hit again. Upon further searching I found a pic showing an assortment of needles, where it looks like I have the crappy dynajet stage 1 installed, especially since the main jets are stamped 170. The bike runs strong just slightly rich on the top end so I hope simply dropping...

First off, I am new to the forum. I have used the search query but nothing exactly what I am needing. I recently bought a 2001 VMAX and while it runs strong all the way through top end it seems very rich. While checking valve lash I am in the process of rebuilding the carbs. Noticed the main jet...
