Hey All..... I was the originator of this chat - and have good news to report. As I had mentioned, post my 2005 purchase, I had tried the shotgun and peashooter initially and neither of them seemed to have an effect on what I believed was 1 maybe 2 idle circuits not functioning. Causing...

Great to hear you guys talking about this.... I have A/F screws 2 and 4 that make no difference when turned all the way in. Coincidently...if I pull those 2 plug wires at idle - runs the same... so yes - sounds like 2 plugged idle circuits. I also notice when I ride, I feel the 2 cylinders...

I did not cut off the stock needles to get more shims.... asking the question as it appears in photos the Canadian needles/slots/clips - would have more range. I did shim ~.020.... no effect. My logic for shimming needles - is the sputtering at the 3500-5k goes away when the choke is set...

D-Max2012, When your bike stumbles at the 3500-5k....does pushing the choke 'full' help? Mine clears right up....idles up of course, but no more sputter/stumble with the choke on full. Per the stock needles... to shim them, the shaft/top then hits the big plastic cap in the slide.... can this...

Got a hold of a Cartune kit and synced the carbs....still have a carb that the air screw has no effect. Appears the cylinder is not getting gas in idle.... exhaust is cool until choke is set a little. I have put seafoam in gas and have been putting on some miles.... still no idle screw...

Tried the 'shotgun' method - didn't help. Also tried the carb cleaner /pea shooter video on Youtube - nothing. Is there a way to 'snake' air and fuel passages in these carbs? I would think Gumout or Seafoam and air gun would clear them.

Note - bike does seem to idle fine..... but don't understand how 2 air screws can be turned all the way in....with no affect.

Hello all. I am new to the Vmax and have a problem that is stumping me. I bought a 2005 with 7k miles, but the previous owner had removed the plates on the rear of the stock exhaust pipes (ground off the rivets), and drilled the holes out to about 1/2 inch - all five holes. Sounds pretty...
