position

Can anyone tell me the stock carb needle position ?

I seem to have an issue with the vboost. Last year when I got the max ('88 full power) I noticed the cable of the vboost had a bit of slack. Didn't pay much attention til this year's check-up. We had to use washers between the cable housing and the servo motor to take up the slack. The result is...

I find myself putting my feet on the rear pegs on the highway and I have even considered clip ons for the bars. I miss the fit of the CBR I used to have as I find it very hard to keep my back straight on the Vmax, it always wants to curl and I want my knees bent more and my feet further back...

read somewhere that the spark plug should penetrate 0.125 of an inch inside the combustion chamber for maximium burn, also that you can give more gap to the spark plug when you use aftermarket coils that give out more voltage :ummm:

I bought my 98 vmax 10 days ago and have put 250 miles on it and she ran good. Today when I took the bike for a ride when I came to an intersection the idle would go up to 3000 rpm's. If I would rev it a couple times it might come down a little. Any ideas what would make it do this. Was...

I'm in the process of cheking my valvle clearance. Found timing mark for T1 , as shown in pic below ( sorry for the size don't know how to resize). When I check my #1 Cylinder I expected the lobe to be pointing face up but they are as shown on the second picture. Am I doing something wrong ...

Hi all Im considering installing an A/F monitor with a O2/lambda sensor on one of my bikes. This is for easier tuning of the flatslides i want to install on a different configuration rather than PCW or VGas. My question is where is the best position to place the sensor in order to get the best...

Hi guys, How do I get myself on the Google map? Like http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213759700147911684604.00049e8a7d7a830acbc52&msa=0&iwloc=00049e8a83a9693f94362 I looked into several threads but can't find it yet. Greetzzzz

Hello, Does anybody know in what position the lockbolt is supposed to be on the vboost in order to function properly? Also, is the procedure found in the manual correct in terms of vboost lockbolt placement?

After spending a ton of time fiddling with my carbs I fixed a couple stupid mistakes and I'm running fairly good now. Starts easily, no more popping, no mid range crackle. My lat problem is to fix the response after a few minutes of starting. The engine can die if I give it too much throttle...

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and am wondering if anyone can help me out. I decided to attempt to do some maintenance by myself on my '92 V-max last weekend (I know, could be a dangerous proposition!) Before I read the manual (I know, could be dangerous...) I saw the plastic "what looked...

I realize this is stupid easy for any experienced mechanic or rider, but the first time I went to make an adjustment, I'd never done anything with a CV style carb before, and couldn't find any resource here on how to actually do it. So here's a quick write up with some pictures I snagged last...
