issues

OK, it's starting to look as if the great deal I got on this 1999 wasn't such a great deal. :bang head: I guess it will depend on the extent of this issue. Clutch is slipping somewhat. I tried to jump it in 2nd gear and it slipped - had to drop into 3rd to get it to bump-start it. The bike...

After installing Gannons Cops mod my vboost dosent kick in until about 7500 revs need advice please

so im ut riding yesterday, its 92 and humid here. Lots of stop and go traffic, ran several errands where the bike was off for a few minutes at a time, but the fan came on a couple times. Last time i started it, the fuel pump ran like crazy. Got home, turned the key on and off a few times, pump...

Starting around a month ago, I started having problems than when my bike was cold, and i haven't rode it in a while when I would first start the bike up and ride off, the clutch had a ton of play, and it would engage SUPER early, then after riding about 5-10 minutes it would go back to normal...

Many french Vmax users encounter issues with DPR8EIX9 sparkplugs. Many of these sparkplugs fail under 3000 kilometers (bad idle and hesitations at low rev). Some french members had test them and founded short circuits in insulators... Iridium US men, didn't you find something unpleasant...

When I bought my bike a few months ago, it had Cobra slip-ons on it. I think they sounded great but the guy I bought it from said the center stand wouldnt work with them. After looking, i believe he was right. So i put the stock exhaust back on it. The center stand was a little more...

Went for a ride. Stopped for gas. Turned the key off and my headlight and fan continue to run. Took the key switch completely out and light still stays on . The only way I can get the headlight to turn off is to disconnect the battery ground. I'm looking at the wiring diagram to and cant see...

hello all, first time posting here, iv had my 89 for 20 years now, bought with 4 miles on it. the reason i am writing is for a friend. he has a 85 that has some issues. from what i understand the fuel pump is thinking the system is pressurized all the time, thus never running except when the...

I ordered some race tech springs (no emulators) for my 05. I took it to a local shop to have the seals changed and the new springs installed. So now my issue, I started with one inch of preload and 10 weight oil, the compression rate was very stiff and the reaction was to fast and harsh, I loved...

Help! I am stumped. My choke seems to flood the bike bad when starting and drops out cylinders. I have two sets of carbs and changed the right side set twice and cannot get the idle screws to act properly even after sonic cleaning as well. I am using stage 7 needles with all stock air jets and...

I bought a set of carrezzera rims this winter got a knotched and braced swing arm and the tire is rubbing on both sides of swing arm and my center stand. Just wondering what brand of tires everyone is using with the 200. I'm using the metzler 200/50/18. I also had to replace mud guard I thought...

I haven't posted much in the forums but I do read a lot of the helpful posts here. Wanted to say thanks yukonerdave for the awesome write up on the fuel pump diaphragm fix, and richwrench for the carb sync tool its awesome and works great. Here's my problem I have an 88 vmax it fires up descent...

Hey all, I have a 3" extended swingarm I am putting on my Max. It was under braced and welded locally. I went to assemble it the other day and the axle is binding. Apparently during the welding, the swingarm shrank about 0.35" as compared to the stock swingarm. I took it to a body shop friend...

So I've got a '97 with ~20k miles that i picked up this summer. I rode it for about a month before second gear started skipping/slipping under full throttle at high rpm's. After researching here I concluded undercutting the tranny through Sean's shop this winter is the way to go. I continued to...

I've been accumulating parts and equipment to rebuild the carbs on my 94. This, since they started acting up about months ago. I tried everything attempting to clear the idle jets of crap, tiny rust particles. Short of stripping the carbs completely down. Pea Shooter, Shotgun. Cleaners in the...

this my first post and already bitching. well here goes. back in 2008 i bought my bike brand new .right off i had like a intake back fire and throttle response is sluggish. take in the bike and the shop tells me carb needs rebuilt .brand new bike go figure .they so says did the work. bike still...

i am really stumped. (which doesnt take much, since i am not a mechanic). I am not getting a spark to the rear cylinder. My friend trouble shot it to the ECU or a wiring problem. I bought an ECU and put it in, only to realize that is not the problem. I have determined that the ignition coils...

Looking for a little help about shifting issue I'm having. Started a few weeks ago notice after I park bike and it sits for a day or longer. I find its hard to down shift the gears after I ride bike for a little while the issue goes away. My oil level is fine just wondering if the shifter needs...

Realized I wasnt getting all the horsepower, figured it was the carbs. Started troubleshooting and determined that only 3 cylinders are firing. 3 of 4 sparkplugs are dirty and 1 looks brand new. Thinking its either the ECU or a wiring issue. Does anyone know where i can find a used ECU? Brand...

I was out riding my 2005 yesterday and the bike seems to be surging and slight backfiring while riding. The carbs are bone stock with supertrapps & K&N filter. I plan to do the shotgun today since its been awhile, but not sure if thats going to help any. When running the bike opened up, it...
