I see. Is the stock ignition adjustable? With todays fuel being total crap, I don't see advancing ignition timing as being safe. As for the rev limiter, that's always a good idea if you're racing. Isn't there a stand alone rev limiter available?

What's the big deal with the Dyna 3000 ingnitions or whatever. Why does everyone feel the need to upgrade the ignition? Not much of an upgrade if it doesn't work!

Before you put the stock mufflers back on. Drill the center of the baffle out with a 1 inch drill bit mounted on an extension. Work up to the 1 inch drill using a smaller drill as a pilot hole. If you look with a flash light down into the baffle you will see that it is blocked so the exhaust...

My friend with the 11 second M109R, his head is so big we had to buy him a new helmet.

Naaaw, Shawn I like the Max for what it is just the way it is. That's why I bought it, it's the perfect all around performance bike. And I have learned that it doesn't take much to ruin it. Only thing I will be doing is a little bling and that's it. If I were hell bent on performance I would...

Here is my turbo bike Shawn.

The seat was unbelievably hard when I first put it on! I installed it days after buying the bike, and I wasn't sure I had done the right thing. Now 1200 miles later it's breaking in nicely and is the most comfortable seat I have parked my butt on.

Ok, here's a picture of me on my '06 Vmax for all of you non believers. :bang head:

Sean I don't know, but are you saying here that switching to a Venture short block and port job got all this horsepower for you? The increase in CC netted that much performance increase??

Where?

There are some excellent carb tuning instructions on this forum, check them out and take your time. There is no instant solution, treat your situation as being unique and you will be successful.

From closed throttle to quarter throttle about, you should be able to adjust the idle mixture screws to get it richer. When you say you lowered the needle. Do you mean you lowered the needle into the main jet or raised the needle? You do that by raising or lowering the clip on the needle as you...
