    Whatcha Carrying?

    Sig P229. .357 hollow points and a 12 round magazine. Heavy sob but a stopper if required

    Value of a 1997 ?

    Hey guys. I've been offered a 1997 VMax. Under 12k showing. A couple of cosmetic modifications and a 4/2 Kerker exhaust. The bike is nice but as yet unridden. What's a ballpark on value ? I paid $3500 last year for an 07 with 15k. Thoughts would be appreciated

    Engine stumble

    Sorry for the super late reply, I've been having health issues. When I said that there was no difference when I sprayed carb cleaner, this was during the "peashooter" clean. Left front cylinder didn't stumble whereas the other three did. Front left is firing but just not efficiently under...

    Engine stumble

    It is firing Mr Max, just not running as hot as the other down pipes so I figured I'd swap out plugs and wires as a first step. Peashootered the carbs and checked the AF screws .

    Ignition coils ? I'd like to eliminate a possible weak unit.

    Yes. Carbs are in sync

    Engine stumble

    Left and both rear plugs appeared to be running rich. Front right looked a shade dark but decent.

    Engine stumble

    V-Boost is still active @Fire-medic . Carb work was done by the PO so I have no direct knowledge of the exact work done but I do have paperwork appertaining to the modifications done at the time. Stage 6 appears to be a re-jetting done when the overbore was done back in 2007. I've had the bike...

    Engine stumble

    Hard to tell @julian. I held the motor at a steady 4500 RPM for a minute or so but in a static situation. Bike misfires on the road in a roll on situation but I've not put her under load after the above mentioned maintenance. I doubt that compression is an issue. The cylinder is firing but not...

    Engine stumble

    Hi folks. 2007 gen 1 Vmax owner. Bike is punched out to 1426 cc. Stage 6 carb upgrade. K&N filters and 4-1 Kerker race pipe. My issue is a stumble on the front left cylinder. The exhaust pipe is noticeably cooler. Hot but cooler than the others. I've replaced the plug wires and plugs (NGK). Pea...

    Sudden high idle

    So I last rode my 07 VMax Gen 1 last weekend with no issues. Started her today and the bike fired right up but then after about 5 seconds the idle shot up to 3000 or so. Almost like the choke was engaged (It wasn't). Blipped the throttle and it briefly came down to normal but then went back to a...

    Age of Vmax owners

    I'll be 61 this November. I have the last year Gen 1 Vmax (2007). Over bored to 1420 cc with stage 6 carburation and Kerker race pipe. Blindingly fast in a straight line but handles like a soapy dick in a bathtub. Nothing ever gets past it though. The rush is indescribable !!

    60 years old here. 2007 Gen 1 with 1420 overbore, stage six carburettor set up and Kerker race pipe. Biggest grin factor inducing bike since my first Yamaha FS1E back in 1976 :)

    Suggestions for stainless 4-1 that is not too loud

    I personally run a Kerker 4-1 on my 07. Pretty sociable sound when cruising but it wakes up when you get on it. It's nice and crisp when you wind up the wick but never obnoxious.

    Liquid-cooled Triumph twins 900/1200 cc

    Bought my wife an 06 Bonneville T100 two years ago when she passed her test. Apart from a spoke busting on the rear wheel the bike has been no trouble whatsoever other than routine maintenance and she rides the heck out of it with 10k clocked so far. Sure, the down pipes were blued but that's...

    Question: Filling up

    It's just burping air until it settles. Perfectly normal. Chris

    V4 Harley?

    A Harley will never be a Harley unless various and sundry bolts fall out, it leaks oil like the Exxon Valdiz and it won't start when your late for work. Thus is the legend of agricultural machinery. Chris.
