Bike doesn't turn at all. Hit the start button nothing happens except headlight goes out and intrument light dim. Release start switch and headlight comes back on. Just got back to work tonight so I will try ground the wire from the starter relay and see what it does.

Not wanting to start another thread, figured I would post here. A few weeks ago I rode the Max to work. Started like normal rode fine all the way to work. Pulled in to the hanger and parked it. Lunch time rolled around went to hop on it to go to one of the 4 places open at 2am and it did...

I suggest a carb sync. Mine did that. Sync'd the carbs popping went away.

To eliminate the rag and get this thing running without it. Should I go up a couple sizes from the stock 152.5 to 157.5 or at least 155? I am sorry for all this, carbs are just not my thing really. Guess I should look for "Carburetors for Dummies". Haha

I am pretty sure all jet sizes are what the book says my year should have. It is a stock bike (as far as I know) except for an OEM style KN filter and the cobra slip ons. And please excuse my ignorance. But I thought the PAJs were only idle circuit and up to when the slides moves? The point at...

Another update. I got around to changing the mains again while at work last night. Dropped them down to 145s. Tried to take the bike on the highway and could barely manage 65mph. Got off on the first exit. Pulled over and stuff a rag in one half of the "V" on the air box. Rode it around on the...

Well, figured I would shot a quick update. Haven't really had a lot of time lately to fully devote time to the bike. Took a few minutes today to check wet float levels. Leveled the bike with a couple boards under the kickstand. (No lift right now) Used about a 4 inch piece of tube and lined the...

Slides move freely and are installed correctly and diaphragms are in good shape. How would I be able to tell if it previously had a stage 1 or 7 kit installed? As I've stated. Bike idles great. Runs fine up to 45mph in fifth gear. 50mph+ and 5k+ rpm is where it studders and lunges. Not sure if...

I just recently went through them. New jet block plugs, gaskets, orings and float needle. And float has been set per the dry method. Havent had a helping hand to help me keep bike level to check wet levels (PO before my uncle removed and ground center stand brackets :bang head::real mad: ) I am...

Left to right. 1 thru 4

Ok. Little update. Finally got some main jets and time to install a set. I bought 147.5s and 145s. Installed the 147.5s yesterday and ran out of time to test drive it. Had to leave for work. I just took the bike for a ride and it still does the same thing and I really feel that it is worse...

Took the highway tonight on my way in to work. Seems to still be the same if not worse will riding on the highway around 65-80 mph. Looks like I am going to order a few different sets of downsized mains. Would any one suggest changing the pilot jets at all? Just want to check before in place an...

Well, not 100% sure, but I think it is now doing it cruising aroun 45-55mph. It was kinda hard to stay steady for any length of time due to stop and go. I took out the shims before I left work. Was not able to get on the highway. I will try to take a test ride later today to be 100% sure it...

And that would be 147.5s correct?
