Venture engine with Vmax carbs..tuning? A guy from the french board put a Venture engine on his Max but with the Vmax carbs. At 5000 RPM (WOT or part throttle) it fall on his face. I suppose carbs settings have to be modified. If somenone knows this settings or at least stock Venture carb...

Anybody using the DDM Tuning HID lighting. My ballast seems to have died, so I put a replacement in and the light turns on for a second and then off. I got it to turn on a few time and stay on, but that's only a few times. The rest of time it turns off after a second.

Carbs previous settings : Main jet DJ175 Idle jet stock PAJ1 stock 95 PAJ2 stock 170 needle S7 clip on N°3 from middle Idle fuel screw 2.5 Bike was running great everywhere except 3000-5000 where there was a flat wide"spot" I installed an Innovate LM1 and saw a 11 WOT AFR at 9000 and 9.5...

Hi there I am new to this forum having just purchased a 1985 (1986 year model) Vmax recently imported from the US. It is missing the "tuning fork" emblems either side of the dummy tank/airbox cover. I want to put the correct ones on and have just had a pair of poor quality copies sent from the...

Howdie All, I'm Jack, still in my freshman year of VMAXing. But long time Biking. I was having problems with my clutch. I first went to my arrogant mechanic. He told me to order the Barnett Pressure Plate Converstion Kit. He said, "I been doin' this bike mechanics and VMAXsss for years...

Hi, I'm trying to get morley jet kit working with stock needle at sealevel. The stock needle doesn't seem to have adjustment possibilities. The bike pulls great with WOT at 5-7k, but when I'm not really full trottle, 2/3 of WOT maybe and going through 5-7K, it's very rough and there's a...

Hi, I wonder whats the difference in doing: http://vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=3847&highlight=tune+needle "Main jets have little or nothing to do with fuel mileage unless you are riding above 7500 rpm all of the time . Fuel mileage is mainly a result of..... in order of importance...

Hi, So i just put on UFO exhaust with morley jetkit. I have the air corrector, modified airbox and PCV connected and read on http://www.vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/cv_carb_tuning.htm that you begin with tuning the top end with main jet sizes. The problem is that I can't even get to the top end...

My 2001 just got running, I did the valve adjustment, tore down, cleaned and rebuilt my carbs installing a dynojet stage 1 kit. I have a k & n filter, stock air box with cobra slip-ons. I synced the carbs but they still seem to run a little rough. I haven't been able to put a lot of miles on the...

So i have made the home made sync tool and sucsessfully set the carb sync pretty close . Now my question is how do Correctly set the A/F screw settings? is it simply by ear or for best RPM? they are preset at 2.5 turns out just at a starting point right now. bike runs pretty good but im guessing...

Going to tear apart the forks on the Vmax and install new seals soon also. Maybe a lowering kit. Hopefully in the next 3 weeks I ll have the turbo bike back and can make a track run. Hopefully in the next week I ll have fork seals done and can install those as well. Weather is getting...

Well just sharing a little of my experience of the company.. I ordered a HID light like many of us have.. almost two weeks and still not here. The company says its out of CO....... BUT my like is being shipped from China with a Chinese tracking number?????!!!!! Wtf!!!!! anyone else have this...

Picked up my first VMAX the other day. Very different machine then what I am used to! I feel like the bike is continually trying to make up its mind on whether its a sport bike or a cruiser. Makes for lots of riding fun. Anyway, I will list the spec of the bike I bought below, and then my...

Hey all. I recently put on an IXIL exhaust like KJ's and now I am running pretty rich. Was going to try and get it dialed in this weekend but had a few questions. After looking at the factorypro website about tuning cv carbs, I was wondering if the vboost makes it harder to choose the main...

Hey gang, I received my HID kit from DDM Tuning in the mail a couple days ago. I have no clue how to install it and it came with no instruction at all. (and apparently my search skills are broken today!) The only guide on their website is for a car, can anyone point me to a write-up on the...

I received the oval 8 high power LED, they say they emit 1700 lumen each housing, I really didn't believe it BUT they are really that powerful & very noticeable, the other day I saw a truck with the same lights in the daytime from more than half a mile, it stuck out from all other headlights...

So once again I'm balls-deep in the annoying world of "making an old carb 2 stroke run well", this time it's for my FL350 Odyssey. Little background: 329cc single cylinder, air cooled, reed valve 2 stroke mill STOCK carb was a 32mm Keihin PE round slide, #142 main #58 pilot Motor compression...

Anyone know if anyone makes this? I'm looking for something small (1-1.5 in diameter) that looks something like this

Read through a lot of the tuning threads on here, just seeing if this sounds reasonable. 98 V max, stock. Installed the Mark's 4 into 2, shorter cans, 2 inch. My initial jets were 152.5 and upped to 155's, my air screws are all 2.5 turns out. What I've read recommended original jets...

I just acquired a 1982 Honda V45 Magna. I have been having trouble getting the carbs tuned perfectly. The problem is, when I turn the throttle, it will go up to about 5K RPM and hang there 5-10 seconds before it comes back down to normal idle around 1500 RPM. I cleaned and synced the carbs...
