    5K cruising power loss

    When I cruise with my VMAX around 5k-5.5k RPM it seems like I need to give it more throttle than I should to continue to hold that speed. Also when I drop out of V-boost it feels like I lose far more power than I should coming out of it. At 60mph its fine its just around 75-95 in 5th gear that I...

    Help with cruising surge

    Alright muscle jet kit, 157.5 mains, needle at 1 1/2 clip from blunt end, stage 7 springs, slides not drilled. Runs great everywhere but off idle, cruising speeds. I'm nearly positive main jet is right, as I tried 2 above, and one below. It pulls the hardest. The needle position may be off 1/2...

    Cruising Pegs

    I really don't see a lot of options available for the max when looking for cruising/highway pegs. Was hoping some others could post pics of what they have done. Anyone know if the COO sliders stick out far enough to put your feet up for a bit?

    Lower cruising R's

    I've done some research and I'm really wanting to lower the cruising RPM on the Max. I've seen that RMS can re-do the diff on the bikes, that lowers the cruising R's @ 80mph from 5G's to 4G's which is considerable. It doesn't seem too spendy I suppose at $400.00 exhange, but was wondering what...

    Slight surge at cruising speed.

    Good evening all, I just got back from a nice long freeway trip (About 500 miles), and I noticed some slight surging when I was cruising at around 65 - 70mph / 4500ish RPM (5th gear). It's something I've noticed a few times in the past, but not too often, because most of my riding is 55mph or...
