prolly last post on this thread - just wanted to thank Ron for the pm yesterday - a member here and another canuck living who is living in japan and offered to let me borrow his carb synch tool - great community VMAX forum - keep it up boys:thumbs up:

as for the white and black paint thats mine -first thing i did when i got it - i love the muscle car look - old stangs and camaros - as for 100000000yen tacos - in jap taco means octopus - taco yaki is a delicacy here - its a piece of octopus wrapped in a dough and fried covered with fresh red...

that place is in kawasaki - near tokyo about 20 min by bike from my place crazy bikes on those pages eh? i have no idea how they keep them running here so modified - when you buy a bike here you get a shaken (shaw-ken) certificate like registration and its good for 2 years then you have to have...

i tightened the exhaust bolts and still got a ticking noise but i took the bike back to the shop i bought it from and they had the carbs synched in 30 min. digital type synch tool -and i learnt how it was done - simple - i didnt want to bring it back there because i worried if they realized i...

stupid stupid stupid - exhaust was the first thing i thought of 3 weeks ago but within minutes my fat fingers started turning adjuster screws and then more power loss and by that time my mind led me to believe i had been racing and beating it too hard and fakked up something more mechanical...

i googled it and found the ez instructions - ok no problem - now - anybody have any tips on my clicking (valves ?) problem - should i try to synch the carbs first and see if that helps the clicking or should i attempt to adjust valves , relieve clicking then synch up carbs?

that dont look too hard to figure out - i take it the nipples on the machine hooks to the hoses and the next set of nipples connect the hoses to the hoses running off the carb (the ones that are exposed and held by the fake chrome trim plates near the synch screws) am i on the right track?

i read the entire carb section today but have never seen let alone used that tool - im interested in learning though if you think the carbs are the problem - if they werent before, they may be now - stupid fingers of mine cant stop touching and turning everything that looks like it will be some...

DOH:worthy:!!!

so my second hand 07 max (stock?) has 6500 km now (5000 when i bought it 3 mo. ago) and seems to have developed a clicking and ticking noise - first question are valves the likely suspect? definitely seems to be coming from the heads and particularly from the rear closest to the seat - the bike...

peace man

itohshi - ee/toe/shee - is the correct word for beloved - sorry it took so long to get back - holidays and all - and painted the stripes on my fenders and tank - white base and 3 flat black stripes -2 thin on either side of a fatty - straight down the middle - like a 69 stang or camaro -...

youre correct - majo = witch ko = girl mari literally means ''truth'' ganbarre ne - good luck - keep fighting:whistlin:

i live in japan my wife is japanese - sorry bro - no meaning:confused2:

head office is in tokyo but the testing im sure is kept under raps on a private test track - the bike ,old or new, is as much a legend here though of course as it is in USA or Canada or anywhere else it rumbles - tokyo auto show was a bit of a let down as i hoped to catch a glimpse but.. nothing...
