    K&N oil filter failure

    This may not be related.We built a turbo V6 for a local drag racer.It was a Fram and the filter collapsed with less then 500 miles.I called Fram and talked to a Fram Tech Advisor and he told me he was sending a UPS driver over to pick it up.The UPS driver arrived with a case that opened up with...

    water injection?

    I had my own shop for 25 years.We specialized in Buick Grand Nationals.It was all we worked on.Meth injection was on 75% of our street cars and made a huge difference.On race cars with race fuel it didn't add much but on street cars with street fuel it was night and day.My twin turbo GN ran 8.72...

    Talk me into / out of it!

    The Gen I is a lot of bike and will satisfy most riders that have not had a couple of fast bikes.The Gen II is an all out street racer and is beyond fast.It doesn't sound like you are that type of guy.I also don't understand why anyone would buy a new Vmax today.There have not been any major...

    Situational Awareness - Please Read

    Glad you are ok.Twice in one day is real scary.We have a number of lights on the dash.It's too bad bike manufacturers don't add a warning light for a headlight out.Kind of ironic they have a light for bright light on which is for the other guys good and yet no light for headlight out which would...

    First time at the track

    I know this is an old thread.What difference would it make to his numbers by cutting a better light or in your words "with a good hole shot you will have some of the best number's you can get with a gen 1 vmax." A holeshot has nothing to do with ET or MPH.A holeshot means you left before the guy...

    Backfire through carbs.

    Ya.I figured it's a tuning deal.I'd be on it right now if it was an 850 Holley.;) I don't think anyone has done any work on this bike considering the low mileage and all stock parts.I did notice that the small brass plugs on the carb were gone if they did come stock on all these bikes.I got...

    Backfire through carbs.

    I put everything back together and the bike seems to be running fine.I don't know if anyone else has noticed,holy sh*t these bikes are fast;) I still hear the odd backfire under the cover so I'm still searching but the bike is now fun to ride again. Thanks to all.

    Backfire through carbs.

    I changed the plugs & fuel.No difference.I blew out the jets and added half a can of Sea Foam.No difference.I backed out the idle screws and squirted Sea Foam through the jets with a syringe and poked a thin welding rod through the jets and that helped a lot with the back fires,but it still does...
