    How to select main bearing and connecting rod shell sizes

    Hi, I am trying to find the correct thicknesses for connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing shells but ran into an issue. For crankshaft main bearings you need the markings on the crankshaft and the outside of the engine block. The first one no problem, the engine mount where the numbers...

    Main fuse keeps blowing

    I have an 89 Max that keeps blowing the main fuse. Started the other day while riding, I'd put the spare in and it would run for a minute, then POP. Now I can't even get the fuse fully seated before it blows. I've already bypassed the keyed ignition switch hoping it was there, no luck. I'm down...

    Main jet question

    A while ago, before I pulled my carbs apart, I posted a question. In the end I got some 147.5 mains. I'm doing some carby work now, and it's a little different from what I previously guessed. My '85 has had the 2 150's changed to 152.5's already. (So it has 152.5's in it.) I guess the rest...

    Main jet size

    Does anybody have a Vmax carb apart ? I'm tying to find the head diameter of the main fuel jet. It's either 6mm or 8mm - I'm thinking it's probably 8. I'm looking at jets on this website : http://www.pjmotorsports.com/mikuni-jets.html The paj2 is jet part number N102/221 with the 6mm...

    Main jet adjustments

    I am still trying to sort out my 91, and I wondered if anyone that needed to change their main jet size can tell me how it ran before they sorted it out. My bike runs uneven and at higher rpms, 7k on up it runs very poorly, but sometimes picks up around 8500 rpms and takes off. Does this sound...

    Gen 1 Main Pickup Coil Signals, Ignition, Timing Data from the VMax Guru

    I e-mailed Tim (the VMax Guru) a while back with a few questions on the gen 1 pickup signals. What I was hoping for was an easier way to get a 4 to 8 cylinder tach to work with the VMax. My idea was quickly shot down, but Tim did provide some nice data that I asked him if I could share with the...

    Main Jet Question

    All, I haven't done too much work on my Carbs yet, so these are going to be real basic questions. I drilled my stock exhaust and and from my other questions it's probably running a little rich. So it was suggested to drop my Main jets down a size or two... But I still don't have any idea what...
