1985 Vmax Canadian version so it has the stock adjustable needles. Everything is stock. Well not exactly. The exhaust has been punched out to get a better sounding max. I took the carbs off last winter and cleaned them all out. Every passage and jet was cleaned with seafoam and air blown...

After spending a ton of time fiddling with my carbs I fixed a couple stupid mistakes and I'm running fairly good now. Starts easily, no more popping, no mid range crackle. My lat problem is to fix the response after a few minutes of starting. The engine can die if I give it too much throttle...

My clutch slave has been leaking ever since I reassembled my bike last year. I replaced the crush washers this year thinking that it was leaking there. It's still leaking. The leak is very slow so I can get away with topping up my fluid every once and a while. Will a slave rebuild kit fix this...

Heading says it all. I have no clue why this is happening. I had just replaced the segment and sheared the index pin which caused the gears to be out of alignment. I replaced the pin and took the bike for a short spin and checked all gears (all good). The next day I lost everything above 2nd...

Hoping someone can provide some guidance. I've read almost every post and article on carb adjustments and can't find what I need. I have taken my carbs apart and cleaned every opening I can find with carb cleaner and blew them out clean. I did a dry float adjustment that has you line up the...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on what to look for while I go through restoring my 85max. The bike went into storage in great shape about 12 years ago and came out of storage looking almost as good. Most of the Aluminum parts plus the engine has corrosion. I blasted the entire...
