Alright guys I think I have it fixed...the symptoms at least. Im going to have it all back together tomorrow, but it ran well arond the block without the air filters on. I changed out the plugs, they were black as hell. Way too rick as I understand it. I also muddled my way though the shotgun...

I'm telling ya...it would be worth it!:worthy: Well the plugs are coming today and I will figure out a way how to mess with the pickup coil. Hopefully I will have some good news soon.

I have a can of seafoam that I'll dump into the tank and try and run it through. We'll see if that helps. Also change the plugs out. Its good to know that the pick up coil et al are just sensors that I can test and replace if need be. Lets hope they are not too expensive!!! :confused2: If...

Thanks for the idea guys, sorry I haven`t responded earlier today but it was way busy. I had thought about the jets, especially as it relates geographic area. The bike came from the Chicago area and I was curious if perhaps that was at least part of the issue. Satariel666...how specifically do...

I hate to say this but I have no idea. The guys on the board here helped me determine that its a stage 7 kit, but beyond that I dont know. :ummm: Maybe I should have it dyno'd and rejetted, eh?

Ok, I did the peashooter cleaning method and adjusted the idle a bit. It sounds a little better and doesnt stall now but it is still backfiring up through the carbs. :confused2: It seems to be just the right sided carbs...fYI, the v-boost had been removed. When you look into the carbs you can...

Thanks alot guys, I'll try cleaning out the carbs on Monday and see if that fixes the problem...hopefully. As I dont own an air compressor all I can do is the "Paul's peashooter method" (see link below). I'll give you all an update on Monady and let you know. Many thanks again. You all kick...

I PM'd my number to you. Give me a call sometime and we can go grab a beer or something. I'd offer a ride right now but my girl is running like crap at the moment. If its a matter of space we can always use my garage. Like I said earlier, its not sexy, but it worked...I think. My bike didnt...

I never saw any wires on the frame in that area, I will have to look closer on Monday. The only other thing I did was tighten 2 bolts for the pipes. I get this annoying high pitched vibration sound as I downshift from 3 to 2 from around the can.

The stands were directly infront of the pipes on the frame. Once the back wheel was in position, the bottom of it was approx. 4in off the ground.

Hey Guys, Let me pick your brains for a minute. I jacked my bike up on carjack stands last week to remove the rear tire to repair a slow leak. Prior to going up the bike ran great...now it runs like s**t! It stalls and wont idle. :bang head: When I keep the rpm's at about 2k it sounds like its...

Hey Kozy, I have a 2000 Max w/ kerker pipes and ran into the same issue last week. I ended up with a slow leak from a nail. I went to put the center stand on to raise it up when I found out the center stand attachments had been cut off. I dont have a motorcycle jack so I had to...

KJ, not to hijack my own thread, but is there no way to adapt one of the rotors to the rear?

Looks great guys. As for 'i5', very impressed by him. Kind of irritated that I couldn't figure out the vmaxicators, but it just goes to show where I could stand to learn some things. Beware!! Toatlly off topic below. KJ - The front rotors you have on look great. Are they from the seller...

Re: Shinko 170/80 15 Info needed.. I brought them the bike. I'll need to fIgure something else out before i have to change the rear again. My biggest issue is reliably and securely getting the tires off the ground. It doesn't look all that bad after its up and secure.
