    Float needle seat removal

    Instead of all the drilling and tapping, why not just push the whole works out and save the plug? I used a couple pieces of 1/4 steel, and two Clamps Set up for pressing. Pushed the seat flush with the body with the second C Clamp. Used a small socket as a spacer to push...

    Carb parts needed.

    I see some kits on ebay, but the reasonable priced ones are in Europe?

    Carb parts needed.

    Dannymax doesn't sell kits, just service. He offered his services but I do my own work.

    Carb parts needed.

    Yeah, that has worked in the past but this time is bad. the bowls look awful. Tank is full of crap too. I need to sell some bikes, or put better fuel in them, I have a VTX on the waiting list too. It's next.

    Carb parts needed.

    In a criminal act I let the Vmax sit for too long and now the carbs are all mucked up. Looks like I need one air screw, slide diaphragms, and gasket kits. Without spending hours searching, can anyone point me to the go to place for carb parts?

    Running out of gas

    How stupid am I? I forgot there was a reserve? Yep. For some reason I thought the light was the reserve. Duh. I haven't been on the max for a while. A long while actually. I have a few other bikes and the max has been lonely.

    Finally did my brake upgrade

    R6 rotors, busa calipers, home made adapters, FJR master cyl, ss lines. I wish I would have done it years ago. It sure is nice to have brakes. I wish I would have noticed that the maser cyl wasn't drilled and taped for a mirror BEFORE I got it all done, and I wish I had noticed that the guy I...

    Running out of gas

    I never noticed it before, but recently I've run out of gas a couple of times. My Granddaughter thinks it is funny as hell. "Grandpa, some motorcycle guys check their gas before they go". I thought I had missed the low fuel light the first time It happened. But this time I saw the light come...

    Finally going to do something about these brakes

    Been reading some, here is my question. Are any year GSXR 6 piston calipers all good? Any year any size, 600, 1000? Lots of GSXR calipers on Craigs list, and Ebay. Not much for Busa parts on the local Craigs list though. So, I need wavy rotors for a 92+ Vmax/R1 Caliper adapters Any...

    Help identify this spring setup?

    Hmm? Well then, I guess I don't get to buy Race Tech. I have one leaking, I supose I should replace the fluid in both to match. Replace both seals? Or don't fix what ain't broke?

    Help identify this spring setup?

    I bought this 1992 used. It has progressive 412s in the back. And someone has been in the forks, because I'm sure the PVC didn't come from the factory... But, It's either stock springs with a "longer/shorter" spacer? Or progressive springs with a longer/shorter spacer. The spring does look...

    Magnacharger for vmax

    Oddly enough I just spoke to Bill Bushling last week He says he IS still in business. And quoted me some prices on superchargers for the Vmax and the Valkyrie. I stopped by his shop last spring and the place was deserted. He said he fired everyone and is running the shop alone. But I am also...
