    Anyone going to Daytona Bike Week?

    Awesome pics, I was back up there yesterday for the daytona 200. Lots of bikes at the speedway, but didn't see any Vmax's.

    Anyone going to Daytona Bike Week?

    I was there Saturday, went to the broken spoke and met Rusty and Kenny Wallace, Rusty's son builds custom bikes and they had several on display, including Tony Stewart's bike. Might go back up on Friday for the flat track race. Mark, do you work at the Indian dealership? I was there Saturday...

    Why no fuel gauge

    Been there done that. I follow your same process using the odometer.

    Why a Vmax?

    I saw that foldout add in Cycle World in 85, and knew I had to have one. I had been riding yamaha dirt bikes since I was little. At that time, I had just graduated from high school a couple years earlier and was riding a Kaw 500 two stroke triple. I didn't think anything could be faster than...

    Post your fastest VMAX E/T 1/8 or 1/4

    now I don't feel so bad. when I ran 11.20's on my 86 when it was new, I thought I was slow, now it seems I was about where I should have been. Never ran it with the Kerker 4-1 it has now.

    Vboost Open All The Time

    I run my vboost wide open all the time, have for a few years now.

    Possibly buying a V-Max and have mixed feelings, also have some questions.

    Digger 440, as the original owner of an 86 vmax, and now several other newer motorcycles that are superior in many ways, i believe you will still love riding the vmax. Every time I take mine out it puts a smile on my face. And although I have other bikes that are faster, and handle...

    Primer keeps running when trying to start

    Thanks all, I am going to run a couple of tanks with sea foam before I try any additional cleaning.

    Primer keeps running when trying to start

    In looking at the "shotgun" cleaning instructions, I was thinking that the idle mixture screw needed to come out in order to clean the jets. is that not correct?

    it's getting to the point that it doesn't want to idle or run clean without the choke partially open. I have cleaned as much as I can without removing the carbs or cleaning the idle circuit. thought I would try that before removing the carbs and shipping to one of the experts.

    got the new OEM pump installed Saturday, fit and works perfectly. I think I need to do the shotgun on my carbs though. My carbs have never been apart, how difficult is it to remove that brass plug over the idle mixture screw? I don't want to mess anything up. is there a trick to doing it right?

    just ordered, but unfortunately they are on backorder, so no telling when I will get it.
