    Riding my 04 at high elevation

    Doing a Colorado trip next month with a friend and wondered what to expect at 9000 to 10000 ft. in terms of how bad it might run. It has a Marks Performance full exhaust and a Sean Morley jet kit,( not sure what #jets) and runs great in Kansas City. Thanks Jack

    Move to lower elevation

    I moved from Calgary AB (1000m) to Winnipeg MB area (200m) and my bike is running really poorly - puffing and popping. Plugs are light and it runs better on 1/2 choke. Seems to be ok from 3/4 to WOT I wasn't expecting the elevation change to make that much of a difference (what do people do...

    Going from sea level to 5000' + elevation- How to tune the carbs?

    I bought a lake house in the mountains where I'm keeping some of my motorcycles now, and the 'max is one of them.. (all the others have fuel injection) The elevation is 5200', so the air density is less but the roads here are paradise. miles and miles and miles of perfectly paved twisting roads...

    Change jets for trip to higher elevation?

    Was wondering if I should change jets for a trip into higher elevation I'm going on soon. I have Morley's jet kit, Holeshot exhaust, 165 mains, 2 shims under stock needles, stage 7 springs. Carbs are sync'd, new plugs, fresh oil change. Bike runs great. I'm going from about 1500 ft to about 3500...

    runs 2 rich at high elevation

    Hey, I live next to the smoky mountains & blue ridge parkway. My MAX runs too rich once up into the higher elevations, even to the point of leaking gas. It has 4 seperate k&n air filters on each carb, a jet kit on it, not sure what size. Holeshot exhaust. Runs fine otherwise.

    WOT Throttle - carb woes. High elevation?

    Well, the bike has seemed to run fine for quite some time. But today I did a little 70 mile hop from the bike's primary location (5700ft) to where I am now (6700ft). I noticed along the way that I can't go WOT - the bike stumbles like it's only running on 2 or 3 cylinders the minute I whack the...

    Any others who live and ride the Max at 5000+ ft elevation?

    Just curious how many of you live and ride your VMax at high elevations? I ride mostly at 5700ft elevation while occasionally taking trips to 8500ft and higher, and back down to 3500ft or so. Over the years of owning and riding bikes at 6660ft elevation, I can say that my elevation seems to...
