    Another carb question

    OK, so I have a basically stock VMAX, except it has a 4 into 1 Holeshot on it. It has NO carbs on it right now. I have a stock set ready to rebuild, but I don't have any Dyno-jet or Factory Pro needles to put in it, and really don't want to spend the $$$ another another kit. I also have an...

    Just picked up a 98 model that's been DynoJett'd, 155's according to the documentation I was given, including a dyno run where it pulled 110 hp and 77 lbs of torque. It looks like there are stock needles in the kit too, so assumed they've been added too, bike has Slip-on Trapps with 14 discs...

    Reserve fuel question

    Last couple of rides when the low fuel light would come, engine would start to cut out, go to reserve. No problem, for maybe 20 seconds, engine would start to cut out again. Recycle reserve switch, runs good, cuts out again. Nursed to next gas station. Any ideas?

    Universal joint question

    Is it easy to remove the circlip and bearing/pin so as to separate the UJ ? I need to do this so I can put a spindle through to set up the fjr arm. From reading on here I see undoing the yoke securing nut is a hard job unless the yoke is separated. With half the UJ gone I'd have enough room.

    Stock Exhaust Question

    In reinstalling my front header pipes, I've realized that the flanges are not symmetrical . Looking from the top down, which way is correct, A or B? They seem to fit both ways. Can't find the answer in the manual.

    Coil to COP question. Do we have to replace them all at once?

    Hi, If only one of the coil is bad, can we just replace that one (or two) coil with COP or do we have to replace all four of them at once? Thanks, Regards,

    Quick question...

    During a ride last week I went to pass a large, slow truck. In doing so, I revved a bit longer than I normally do. It seems like I hit a complete flat spot, almost like a rev limiter. I'm under the assumption that the Vmax doesn't have a one. So my question is, what happened and do I need...

    Another carb question

    Working on an 85, bought non-running. It has a 4 into 1 Holeshot exhaust and factory airbox setup. I took the carbs apart and rebuilt them with a kit, cleaned it all up and put it back together. The previous owner said that he never did anything to the carbs when he put the Holeshot on it...

Currently runs great but would like to improve performance while maintaining stock mufflers (would be happy to modify stock...

    Fuel range question

    I will be picking up my new bike tomorrow(2000 VMax); my last ride was a 1994 Suzuki RF900. Long story short, when my low fuel light in my RF900 would come on it would start to shudder necessitating the switch of the petcock to the reserve position. I decided to bypass the petcock altogether and...

    Question about Bike's Year and Fuel used

    Question guys. The Clymer manual for the 91 states that the bike is recommends regular fuel, and no higher ethanol use than E10. It seems that the majority of people are running high octane. Can you post your year and fuel type use?

    A/F question

    So on this last set of carbs I rebuilt, the A/F brass plugs had been taken out, and 3 of the 4 holes were EMPTY. I had some spare carbs laying around and was able to insert them into 3 of the 4 holes, but on the forth hole, the A/F won't start threading? Looking into the hole, it doesn't look...
