questions

I'm about to buy my first max. I have a line on a bike that has Kiehen(spelling) flat slide cards and is using the stock airbox and after market pipes. I don't know what kind of air filter yet. I believe that this is the only engine mod and was done by PCW in NY. I'll be using this bike as a...

O.K., The more I go through this bike the more stuff I find that the previous owner has done. I could hear the vboost reset when I turned the key on but I just realized there is no cable hooked up so it's not opening or closing anything. That explains why I never felt the vboost at 6k everyone...

This is my first vmax so you guys are going to have to help me out, here. I bought a '91 vmax with a stage 7 dynojet kit installed, modified stock header with supertrapp slip-ons. I can still hear the vboost engage when I turn the bike on so I'm assuming the previous owner opted to keep it...

Hello all Was just thinking about this and hope you guys can help. When filling-up at the gas station, is your max on it's side stand or center stand? Does it matter? On some bikes you can only top it off completely if it's completely up right. Does it matter on the Max? And second...

Couple questions about starting the vmax. I usually use a full choke at startup. I also leave the choke halfway on for the first minute or so. Sometimes I can hear a quiet poping coming from the exhaust. Is this a lean condition? Second question is sometimes the starter has a little...

Ok, Ok, here it goes I have installed a HMF 4-2 "2D9S" full system into my 2WF engine. I have had to swap out the 2WF Carb due to two of the Idle mixture screws being totaly FUBAR. It is being replaced with a 49 state Carb with Stage 1 needles and stock jetting; 152.5 mains, PAJ#1...

Hi folks, this may sound like a very weird question.....I'm thinking aobut doing the exhaust mod and drilling the rivits from the end caps ( ya know what mod I'm talking about ) If I drill the heads of the rivits from the end caps..won't the rest of the rivit fall inside the pipe??? I'm taking...

So what kind of oil do most people run in their max. I did my first service at the shop where I got the bike, but plan on doing most of them myself. Just wondered if there was a specific type of oil out there that is better then others? I've read on a FZR sight I still go to that people there...

Thanks in advance. After I receive my CarbTune real soon, I will be also be performing the method in the link below to hopefully cure my Max, but what can I use for the '100+ pounds of air pressure with a good tip' mentioned in the method?? http://vmax.lvlhead.com/tips/shotgun.htm Will a...

Hello, New member here. I have a bunch of questions that only vmax riders can answer :) I got a good deal on a used 98 max and I plan on using it in a touring bike role. What do you suggest I add to the max to make it more touring friendly. I have a few things I know I have to get, I just...
