I own a 2005 Vmax and have installed: UFO Vgas garbs, UFO exhaust, and a Dyna 3000.
After a short ride in a storm I parked her in the garage until the next morning. She fired up on 3 cyl and it took just a 1/8th mile before she was running just fine.
I didn?t realize what was going on, but at every fast stop I stalled. It was hard to get her running again, but once started she ran just fine and went on my way. This happened 3 times before I parked her and started to troubleshoot.
While messing with her I decided to move her a little so I rocked her back and forth while doing it and noticed a stutter in the idle when I pushed the bike forward and stopped it fast. So, I pushed it forward and jerked the front brake? stall, and hard to start. I did this a few times just to feel it.
But then I got the idea to just shake the living crap out of it and she did not want to start at all. When I did fire her up I couldn?t get the RPM?s to go above 4K without an array of popping and backfires.
So, I drained and opened the bowls of the carbs. The front right carb had a small about of a jell like stuff in it. I cleaned it out and put them back together. Also since my rear valve cover gasket was leaking I replaced it. I looked at the valves and they look like crap. Deposits cover them, but this was expected since I don?t run air filters (Yes I learned from this). I replaced the fuel filter, oil, oil filter, and spark plugs.
So my question is: What would make my engine stall from it stopping too fast? I am leaning towards the idea that it is the front right cylinder giving me the problems. I would be fairly sure it?s the carburetor, but am worried my valves might be messed up.
Thanks for any help.
