    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    SUCCESS SOUNDS LIKE A VMAX! Rack is back on the bike, it synced easily this time. Idles really smooth, throttles up nice and crisp. What a difference an almost new carb rack makes. What a learning curve I had with this one. Thanks guys for the input and if any of you are intimidated by carbs...

    Need A/F mixture O-rings

    I got some of those, they melt, probably from the ethanol in the gas?

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    I knew there was a reason I bought that Venture rack last year on Ebay! It just became a parts donor to replace the buggered shaft. Wasn't terribly difficult, took it slow and easy and just has to remove one carb from each rack to get what I needed. Hairiest part was getting those tiny, staked...

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    Ok, thanks. So the sliver of printer paper I've been using as suggested on the V4 Muscle site was a good choice. I did determine under close observation that the tab and lever for the syncing of the 2 banks was bent. What crappy metal! I was shocked at how easy that crap bends. Typical cheesy...

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    Well, I have to pull the rack again then and really look at it with a magnifier. The rack was shipped, so anything could've happened. I'll let you all know what I discover. Would be fantastic if someone could supply a photo of the bent tab. Mike

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    Guys, I have my original rack that does sync just fine, and I put the 2 racks side by side and inspected the sync mechanisms. All the springs are in place and I don't see anything bent. The screws on the rack that won't sync look exactly the same as the screws on the rack that will sync and...

    Strange Carb Sync Problem

    Hey guys, been awhile. Have something really weird going on. Inherited a relatively new carb rack from a friend. Put them on my bike and started doing a sync. The first 2 steps work just fine, but when I try to sync the right bank with the left, I have the sync screw completely bottomed out...

    Sean's Valve Shim Kit?

    I didn't have to pull the carb rack either. Did have to loosen the fuel pump mount to make clearance for the rear cover. Mike

    Shim Buckets Won't Turn

    Patmax, the buckets have to turn to prevent wear. Also, they have to turn to put the slot in a position to end up in a good spot to lift out the shim once the camshaft is spun with the tool in place to press down the buckets. I've got some paper towels in place now to soak up all the oil sitting...

    Shim Buckets Won't Turn

    What "snaps in the bore"? This kept me up all night. Let me tell you exactly what happened. I have one of Sean's kits and, as luck would have it, the tool in the kit is well worn and misshapen (I've since ordered a new tool, what I should've done in the first place). The buckets were turning...

    Shim Buckets Won't Turn

    Doing a valve adjustment on my '99 and ran across a bit of a problem. On one cylinder, the intake valve buckets won't turn by hand. They seem to be turning when I rotate the engine, but won't if I try to turn them with a screwdriver. All the rest of the cylinders the buckets turn in their...

    Valve Adjustment Question

    Hey all. My '99 has almost 50,000 miles on the clock and I want to check the valves this winter. Anybody got a line on purchasing the tool at a reasonable price? Cheapest I could find was about $50 Mike Costa

    Vendor Discounts

    Need to replenish my OE parts supply. Who has the best deal now for Yamaha parts, preferably a Cost Plus % deal versus a discount off list?? Mike Costa

    I don't have the Gold Valve Emulators in my forks either. The RICOR setup is definitely less work to do.

    Hmmmm, this sounds like an interesting mod. I'm currently running Race Tech .95 springs with 20 weight oil and about 1 " of preload. Tubes are dropped 1" in the tree. I still get alot of dive under heavy breaking, but sag #'s are right on the money and the bike flies around the twisties. I...
