    What can I do to get more voltage at low RPMs?

    Ran into a low battery voltage not too long ago. Reason; putting around, using the Vmax like a scooter, and not like God intended. I honestly see myself staying more local and off the HWY, so low rpms are what I am envisioning in the future. So I was wondering if there is an option to allow...

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    Finally got my VMAX out to where I'm currently living (Cali) so now I can ride her anytime I need to. I've been plagued with issues getting a good tune on this bike and I can never seem to get my little tuning woes to go away. When I drive the bike the exhaust note will change around 5.5K rpm to...

    Popping under the airbox at low rpms

    Bike stalled today, has done it a few times. It happens in traffic at idle. The bike has had a popping sound I believe is from the carbs as soon as you bring the rpms up a touch. Bike restarts and when on the throttle or just cruising runs flawlessly. Im pulling it apart this weekend. Any ideas...

    Engine RPMs... what are the limits?

    I own an 03 Max, that is stock except for the K&N filter, and I love it. Purrs like an angry Bengal tiger down low, screams like a hungry T-Rex up top. Yeah, the part about the screaming T-Rex. I don't do that often, and I do have a concern here. Specifically, since the bike has no rev...

    Losing a cylinder at low RPMs

    I noticed last week that my 2001 was dropping the front left cylinder at low RPMs. At idle I don't think it's firing at all. When revving the bike in neutral I can hear the bike spit and pop ever so slightly in the 3k to 4k range and think the cylinder finally picks up consistently around 4k...

    Rpms

    Hi guys just wondering if you guys noticed what you're rpms are at 55/65 MPH? Mines at 4000 just seems a lil high to me or is it my exhaust that's making me think that? Thanks allot and sorry for so many silly questions it's been 6 years since I've had a bike.

    Lean spot between 6-7000 rpms

    Alright my bike runs OK with the y intake in place, but pulls stronger up to 6000rpms without it, then it stumbles and eventualy pulls thru it till redline. I know the answer is to do a complete kit, and i plan on putting a morley kit in it over the winter (just dont feel like pulling of the...

    New Spark Plugs...mis-firing at 4k rpms now

    I just took my spark plugs out of my bike and took one to the auto parts store. They replaced them with the same ones. The old ones were GNARLY...pretty black on the tip, and rusty at the top where you put the wrench. It seemed to idle a little better, but when I get up to 4,000 RPMs, the...

    12.8v-13v+ at idle, but less as RPMs rise...

    12.8v-13v+ at idle, but less voltage as RPMs increase. When I increase throttle, the voltage drops to under 12... like 11.5v. I suspect a bad battery, but before I just go and replace it with an expensive one, what comments do you guys have? I can charge the battery and it appears to hold a...

    How many RPMs with stock rear diff?

    I wanna try and switch out the gears in my bike to lower my RPM's on the highway but I'm nott 100% sure mine is stock. I was wondering if someone could tell me what kind of RPM's your running in 5th gear say at 50mph, 65, 70 somewhere in there.

    slippage at high RPMS after clutch and slave replacement?

    I've replaced all the frictions in my bike with new ones (including swapping the half disk for a full one) and did the DD mod while I was at it. I've also replaced slave cylinder with a brand new one. Changed all the hydro fluid as well. I'm still experiencing a real HARD and QUICK slip at...

    Trouble above 7K rpms

    Just bought my 85 today and the bike is hesitating in the upper rpms. I disconnected the vboost but I am unsure if I did it correctly. How can I be sure the Vboost is fully open? I did the key in the ignition a few times and then it all together stopped working (cycle open and shut)! All i...

    Carb tune rpms

    Okay it's me again. Cleaned carbs and set floats last night, going to sync tonight. Here's the question. Last time I try to sync (just bought Morgan Carb tune) the slides on the carb tune did not move at 1000 rpms. I had to get to about 2000 rpms to get them to move. Is this normal? I put...
