    Fuel Additives? Do You?

    I also tried seafoam in my 85' Vmax and it appeared to help a bit, but at the cost of needing to add it every tank-full and it doesn't have any cleaning or maintenance value to it. After reading an article about "fuel additives" in one of last years Vboost magazines, in which the author highly...

    TCI Computer

    I had similar issues with my 85' Vmax and I was getting real tired of "shot gun" cleaning my carbs". I tried Sea foam, which seemed to help a bit, but it had to be added to every tank full. It also has no cleaning or residual features about it so I looked further. On 2008 I read about BG...

    Keep Missing 2nd Gear

    Hey Sean, I didn't know that the "shift forks" would wear somewhat with pre-loading. When I "lift up" a bit during my pre-load on the shifter lever I do not feel any internal issues with my toe. Any thoughts? BrianK-5125 Houston

    Keep Missing 2nd Gear

    Auggie, I had similar miss-shifts trying to get into 2nd., 3rd. and 4th. gears when I first got my 85' Max about three years ago. One of our elder statesman in Houston gave me some great advise on how I might get around the problem, which worked very well for me. Thanks Rhoy. If having...

    Slight highway hesitation

    Regarding fuel additives, I've had great success this past year with BG Products Fuel Supplement #203. It only needs to be used every 3000 to 5000 miles. I just finished a year long test using the BG #203 fuel supplement in my 85' VMax after reading about it in the VMOA Magazine last summer...

    Bike Shut Down.

    Yes, the Fuel Pump Relay can make you think the fuel pump is bad and shut down for many electronic failure reasons. It can even act like you have a case of "vapor lock" which causes the fuel to intermittently stop flowing when hot, but flows just fine when cold. After you rule out the obvious...

    Vmax Carb Problems

    We cured the same issue "rpm hanging" while dropping slowly back to idle, by re-doing the sync. For what ever the reason, this solved our problems with two different Vmax. The carb set had already been removed, cleaned, re-built and synced, but for some reason it required another run through...

    Auxiliary Light Bar

    Very cool looking light bar for sure, but with the limited stator output on the max, a few months ago I opted for a "Xetronic Digital HID Xenon H4 Motorcycle Headlight Kit". Fairly simple install too as it mount into the same OEM H4 bulb housing and wiring harness. It's output is so good I'll...
