acceleration

My 2009 Vmax has a 500-1000 RPM "dead spot" during acceleration starting around the 3-4k RPM area. I'm not really sure what it could be. I've been searching the forum and the only thing i can find similar are problems with the older carbureted vmax models. If anybody has any idea what could...

My 1990 Max has been giving me problems since mid-last summer. I'm a daily rider but learning to wrench as probs arise. Not the best situation but it's reality. So... I've had a charging problem since spring last year. Bought new battery and all was well for two weeks or so. Then the new battery...

Hello all, Noticed a whistling sounds during mild acceleration, aggressive acceleration I cant hear it over the purr of the engine, on the bike. As soon as I let off the throttle/pull in the clutch it goes away. Also, noticed if it is in neutral and I hit the throttle I don't hear it...

Has anyone experienced this torking from sided to side , really a pain to ride in corners

so heres my issue. i recently rebuilt carbs , changed plugs and oil. cyncd carbs with a home made monometer. took the bike out and rode great for about 50 miles or so then i ran it hard and got the vboost opened up a few times and then noticed a popping from the right side exhaust but only under...

Ok so I have a 94 max and had the motor rebuilt and after I put the bike back together I had a problem with the bike at open throttle. It would sputter like it was miss firing and would get sluggish like barely accelerating. It would start at 4000 and it would get up and go at about 6000. I...

Took the max out for a 115 mile ride on sunday, ran perfect! Took it out today and once I try to make with some hard acceleration it misses and stutters like crazy, I dont have my service manual right now so I dont know what the coil reistances shoud be, anybody got them memorized. If its...

Below is a video of my other bike here in Hungary - 1988 Yamaha FJ1200. It's a rolling start to 145 MPH (indicated, not actual obviously). Shifting wasn't perfect, but neither was the not-so-smooth Hungarian road.

had the bike apart the other day fitting an alarm and then put it all back together and since than i keep getting lag from acceleration, when twist the accelerator there is a slight pause before the bike actually realizes im accelerating (maybe half a second or more not much i know but enough...

Rode w/ a friend for the first time today. When I accelerated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd hitting vboost in 2nd and 3rd - he said he saw a plume of smoke (slight blue tinge - indicating oil burn). He said it was only under the hard accelerations (vboost, high rpm) - and it was a small plume. I am...

Hey Guys, Idled good after warmup and under acceleration on a ride last weekend, but Max was running ragged at cruise. Was going to do the Shotgun and noticed the carbs weren't seated in the boots and the clamps were loose so took care of that. It ran better, but as I was headed home and got on...
