sensor

1985 VMax purchased from my cousin Walt w/abt 35K mi on it in 2007(?). Ran good at high speeds or wide open but poor gas mileage, and backfiring and running rough at low speeds. In Fall 2011 found MAP sensor plug wired backwards with sensor output where +V should be & vise versa. Appears to have...

The solid state pressure sensor vacuum tube (front left hand side of bike) is used to control ignition advance. Intake vacuum to the cylinders provides a variable voltage to the ignitor system that advances or retards the spark to the spark plugs. is your advance working? How do you test...

I have some questions about the part called a pressure sensor in the manual that conects to the vacuum port, I assumed it was a timing advance control ? My concern is mine dosent hold vacuum, and the cylinder that it is conected to appears to be very lean (header is blue) could this be the...

Motorcycle carbs I'm having some trouble understanding, seems like any direction I go is wrong, I have Sean's kit with the different springs & drilled slides but I just can't seem to find the sweet spot. 157.5 jets, needles on 3'rd clip from pointed end, and idle mixture screws 3 1/4 turns out...

Got the oil pan back on last night, and the next step on the video was to reinstall the low oil sensor. On mine, there's no wire coming out of the sensor, but instead there's a screw in the opening, and kind of a 45 degree angle coming out of the hole. Is the wire supposed to be embedded, or is...

I installed a dyna 3000 ignition on my 98 Max mainly because i needed a rev limiter. Im interested in its ignition advance and retard ability but have a unique issue. The directions state the map sensor must be attached to the #2 cylinder to work. But i have VGas carbs and in John Cornells...

I have an extra oil pressure gauge lying around and i want to hook it up to the bike. I see where people use a fitting to do this. What type of fitting is it and where can i get it? Thanks, Sid

Hi i just pulled my carbs so i could clean them and remove the front two coils for my cops and i noticed there is a little module called the boost sensor by the icu. There is a hose from this unit and i dont know where it plugs in, can anyone let me know thanks.

Measured sensor resistance and got 1400 Ohms at 50F. Question Are you supposed to measure with tank full or empty? Or either way it should be between 700-1100?

So on my new v-max the wire got clipped going to the sensor unit so the oil light doesn't work. It is clipped so close to the unit it looks like i'll have to replace it (no way to rewire). If so, what is your guys suggestion? Looks like around $85 or $90 for a new one, unless someone has a...

If you have one I could borrow for testing and buy if it fixes the problem, could you PM me? Thanks

Wheress the best place to add a sensor to monitor water temp. I want to add one to the bike, just wanted to see what others have done. thanks, allen

All, does anyone have any experience with choosing a wideband O2 sensor and gauge combo? I want to install one (or make it removable) for dyno testing/setup. I have been looking on eBay and found a few, but I have been hesitant on picking one as I'm not exactly sure what to look for. If...

I hear about some pressure sensor on the vmax. What is it and what does it do? Also i noticed that there is a vacume hose on the front left intake manifold, what is this for?

Anybody know of a succesful way to clean one?

When installing my ignition advance circuit I removed 2 wires from the pressure sensor connector to clean stuff up a bit. Stupid me...I forgot how two of the wires go. It's a 3 wire connector and I removed the hot wire (red/white or red/black for late model) and sense wire (black/red). Could...
