    Carb tuning/spark.

    I checked wet level today. I did this by turning the key on a couple times until the pump stopped making noise then draining the carbs down. First picture is the first time I did it. I then filled the carbs up, let it run for a few minutes then drained it again. Bike is on a side stand I...

    Carb tuning/spark.

    Still fouled on the right side. Tried swapping the COPs didn't help. Next step is backing off on the needles. Since the COPs act the same when swapped out I'm leaning toward this being an ignition issue or a carb sync problem and my bottle sync method sucks. Since the plugs check out ok is this...

    Thanks, mileage was crappy before carb overhaul and crappy now. Went for a ride waiting for the bike to cool down then I'll pull the plugs and see if closing up the gap helped.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    The sound of the fiberglass packing in my ufo slash cut exhaust was a lot better than the steel packing they came with but I got my hands on some kaowool ceramic insulation. Sounds a lot more even from side to side. Still have very low gas mileage issues. 70mi per tank. Carbs are good. Need to...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I picked up some packing from the local shop. My packing looked like new but I wanted to get rid of the high tones. The fiber glass mellowed it out a lot.

    Does the speak easy mount inside the packing baffel? What kind of packing are you using to repack? I just got an older set that could probably use freshening up. It scares women and children as it is now.

    Installed my new to me UFO exhaust this morning. Went on really easy. What does UFO stand for, undeniably f@$&!#+ obnoxious? Already got a pissed off look from one of the neighbors.

    Just got a used 4-2, UFO slash cut system . Besides keeping everything loose while installing it, is their anything else I need to do that isn't obvious. Haven't taken the stock headers off yet. Bike doesn't have a center stand. Do I lose the stock heat shields when reassembling? Came with...
