gas

http://www.instructables.com/id/Electrolytic-Rust-Removal-From-A-Motorcycle-Gas-Ta/ This is the route I'm going to try on my 85 vmax before coating the inside. I'll document and post the results.

i I HAVE FOUND A TINY BIT OF RUST STARTING TO DEVELOP IN MY GAS TANK , RIGHT WERE THE LOW FUEL LEVEL SENSOR BOLTS IN THROUGH THE BOTTOM ! ..:bang head: .. ALSO JEFF " FINETUNE FROM THIS FORUM HAS MULTIPLE V-MAXS , AND ONE HAS A LOT OF RUST IN THE TANK , SO WE ARE WONDERING WHO MAKES REPLACEMENT...

The two main bolts that secure the gas tank to the frame are missing on my bike. The parts fich shows they take rubber isolaters and washers. These are the bolts that are directly to the left and right of the fill neck. Thanks!

I can't find one online. Been all over ebay for this. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

If there is anyone that has experiance fixing welders or can get me off on the right foot, I'd appreciate it greatly. I have a Lincoln Model # AC-225/DC-210/6. It puts out plenty of power to the 120 and 240 volt outlets. But, no welding arc. It has a CV tap for a mig gun. I'm wondering if...

Hi guys, need some advice here on what my vmax is doing. I was riding the other day when all of sudden the bike started running rough. I rode home and noticed a strong odor of gas coming out of both exhaust pipes. The carbs were synched and air fuel mixture was correct beforehand and the bike...

As I've read this is very common to these bikes. With mine it can start as slow as 160km/h although usually starts around 180km/h. For my bike I find that if I push against the bars I can get around it happening. I must keep pressure on them whether accelerating or decelerating till I get below...

I found this site not sure how up to date it is but if any of you guys want real gas NON Ethanol there are state tabs to click on to see what is in your area. http://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp

My last tank of fuel when the reserved kicked in was 122 miles... Over 45 mpg! When I run the tboost on at 3000 rpm only getting high 20 to low 30 mpg... :banghead: Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Pulled the plugs out looks good after sitting for a day the plugs are wet with gas. Bike runs great great rebuilt last year the only thing i didn't replace is the emulshon tubes don't know if i spelt that right , would that cause that my floats are right . Anyone know what they cost.

First calculation of the mileage in my new 2005 vmax, 44.4 miles per gallon! That is mostly cruising on state highways, 55 to 65 MPH. I am pleased with the result on the first check. Has supertrapp exhaust with 8 disk in each side. Factory jetting. New tires.

Has anyone upgrade to these shocks? I can't swing $200.00 for entry level Progressive shocks but on the other hand I don't want to down grade performance and pay for it at that, take a look and let me know what you think...

I just fired my vmax up today . I haven't started it in about 2 months it was fine. When I started it today one of the vent tubes that run up under the cowl cover was leaking gas pretting good. I suspect this is due to a sticky float but not sure. Can someone let me know there thoughts and if...

hello, i have a 97 max, and the mileage is about 18 mpg. i had the carbs all cleaned out and it ran better but no improvement in mpg. any ideas of why its so bad? i haven't owned a bike in nearly 18 years before this so my knowledge is way down. also, my car was stolen so i cant really dive in...

Got a cantankerous gas cap or just a fugly one? You need a med Phillips and a fine tip pick tool and you oldsters need your reading glasses and good light. -Pull the two Phillips screws from bottom -Lift grey casting carefully looking for two black springs -Remove sliding tabs and you will see...

Speaking of gas leaks, here is something I saw last night which called me to-action on several different levels. I went to get gas and while I was waiting for a pump, I saw this truck at the pump pissing gas out the bottom in the middle of the truck like a bathroom faucet open 1/3-way. I...

I never noticed it before, but recently I've run out of gas a couple of times. My Granddaughter thinks it is funny as hell. "Grandpa, some motorcycle guys check their gas before they go". I thought I had missed the low fuel light the first time It happened. But this time I saw the light come...

Want to replace your gas cap seal and not loose having one key for all locks? Well, now you can with this tutorial. My gas caps seal was cracked, so I originally started to see if I can just replace the gas cap seal, one thing led to another.... I figured out how to replace every piece down...

I just bought a 97 Max, and I'm loving it! There's only one problem I have with it and that is the mileage I can get on a single tank of fuel. I get about 125 pretty regularly before I have to switch over to reserve (Though I fill up before reserve most often at around 115). This isn't a...

Hi, wondering if someone has had this problem. Carbs synchronized but still idles rough. Took her out for a test run after I synched the carbs. Cracked open the throttle and took off up to 6500 rpm then nothing. It felt like there was no gas getting to the engine, just flat. New fuel filter...
