I had similar symptoms and spent some time cleaning, balancing and tuning the carbs, checking intake manifold leaks, etc. The idling was rather rough too. It seemed like only three cylinders were firing at 1000 rpm. It appeared that #3 carb wasn't comfortable with standard 2.5 turns A/F...

Three trips around southern Europe 5000 to 9000 miles each with this Givi Wingrack setup. two E41 Givi keyless panniers - 2x41L E55 top box 55L Oxford tankbag expandable to 40L, never unfolded it though. two toolrolls with 1.5L alum petrol bottles each: one at the front, another under the...

+1. in the video it sounds like the timing is out of line.

The vision of right clipon giving in on unscrewed cap at heavy breaking is rather frightening...

It was actually. More than hundred years ago.

What is the drive side bearing in your wheel?

'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away' I had a two stroke Czech made Jawa 634 - a legend in those days in that place. After 30000 miles the crankshaft failed and she waited for a replacement in the garage for another long time until our Far East hard-working friends supplied one. There was...

Thanks Steve. A bit too far for me though. I wonder if they do have a non-standard 20mmx40mm bearing?

Nothing stamped anymore on that one that used to be in the hub :bang head: It was 6004 by dimensions 20x42x12. The wheel bearings are 6303 (17x47x14) brake and 6203 (17x40x12) drive side, both 17mm ID unlike the hub bearing that is the same Vmax' 20mm ID, hence the spacer pressed into the...

I didn't have much knowledge about Vmax specific techs like 15" rim with massive bias tyre when I bought the bike. After reading much wheel/tyre discussion on this forum I discovered that the rear tyre on my Vmax is actually 150/70 ZR17 size that I considered a bonus which was never mentioned in...

I got a set of All Balls head bearings and finally replaced the worn bits in my 1994 Vmax with much help of the forum wizardry. Thanks guys, really appreciate that. Before that I had to tighten the head slightly to tackle the wobble I was struggling with at >100mph with no or partial load...

In my case I'd rather use an 8mm spanner to drive the screw out by the locking nut :eusa_dance:

GIVI Airflow http://www.givi.co.uk/screens-spoilers/AIRFLOW/Airflow First time I got the screen I installed it with standard turn signals position. I have 2" handlebar raisers though that relocate the blinkers up as well. The screen has four mounting points - lower on forks and upper on the...

Would it be easier to remove the screw with crushed thread end? :hmmm:
