    fuel pump relay needed

    Does anyone have a reasonably priced fuel pump relay for sale or have one I can borrow to see if that's why my vmax won't start? New fuel pump (pumps gas when the hose is disconnected on the carb side) max runs if you add gas or carb cleaner to the carbs. When the key is turned on, it clicks...

    larger L3K fuel tank

    I just got an L3K fuel tank installed (25 liters or 6.6 gallons). Does anyone know how to interpret what the gas gauge means now? Like when it says 1/2 full, how much fuel is left? Or when the low fuel light comes on, how much is left? Thanks

    Adding 2-Stroke oil to Fuel

    I read somewhere, (maybe on here?) that someone suggested adding a very small amount of 2-Stroke oil to a full tank of fuel, as an additive. The suggested benefit was that it helped to lubricate and would help to soften and prevent perishing of the of rubber parts (fuel lines/diaphragms) in...

    Fuel Consumption?

    A quick question from a new Vmax owner. My bike is a 1986, but in excellent condition. It appears to be 'stock' regarding the jets and has original pipes. She runs like a dream and has the Vboost. My question is what sort of gas/mileage should I expect to get. At the moment I only seem to be...

    Fuel pump inlet/outlet help

    Probably a dumb question so go easy on me please. I pulled the carbs to tear apart and clean and I also replaced the fuel filter, took the tank out to clean it, and took the fuel pump out to make sure everything was good with it. Now my fuel pump has no suction! I pulled the line off of the fuel...

    Need Help With A Fuel Issue

    Hi, I am working on my first VMax. I received it in a trade running on two cylinders. The guy I got it from thought the previous owner messed up the valve clearances. Long story short, all valves were within speck. I purchased a new battery thinking it was the battery because the bike...

    More Fuel Pump Issues???

    So I've been trying to fix my '88 Vmax for the last month and still can't fix this issue with the fuel pump. It started out when I took a small fall at ~10 MPH and it seemed to move around the diaphragms in the pump which led to a loud clicking sound from the pump. So I then took apart the pump...
