    i disabled the servo on my v-max, BUT if you do this you need to keep some way of manually closing the butterflys, else there is no way to synch the carbs, other than doing it on a bench with feeler gauges.

    as of today i have 1k miles on mine, showing no wear. ride perfect, no problems at all. i do not ride in the rain or pull a trailor so i can not comment on that however.

    ok, had me worried there! i wasnt sure if i was being told that the starter clutch had to come out also. i feel relieved now. so what about the gasket, is it something i should be able to home brew if i need it? and one more thing, thanks to everyone for the help

    THIS ISNT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE STARTER IS IT? I am just planning on pulling the starter motor and cleaning it up.

    is it a simple gasket? could i make one?
  6. bmannon
    can you enlighten me?

    i have been using a single gauge to do mine. have to hook it up to one carb at a time, but it works. advanceautoparts has a gauge for $30 some dollars that would work (not the one I have, but similar)

    This thread over on the other board says to remove the RH header pipe in order to get the starter out. Is this correct? Because this one says nothing about it.

    sounds like perpetual motion to me.... (any closed system that produces more energy than it consumes. Such a device or system would be in violation of the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy can never be created or destroyed.)

    never easy on these machines is it? i hope it is just a loose connection, the bike rides fine with no air up front, but i would like it to work proper.

    Got new fork seals, not leaking there or from the rings on top of the forks where the hoses connect. Cant hear it coming out anywhere either, and it loses it quick, ie from max to 0 in 30 seconds. Before I tear the entire bike apart what is the easiest way to access the line going from the compressor to the forks? Also how do you get to the compressor? Just remove the seat? Thanks in advance!

    I ended up punching my OEMs out and putting them back on, it just looked a little naked without them.

    got the Kendas mounted and have put ~50 miles on them. They are nice and smooth, no noise, no wandering, shaking etc. Do well in the curves too. I am VERY pleased! The only thing I dont like about them is the fugly tread pattern, but I can live with that. Can anyone comment on how they do on a wet road?

    I will probably get flamed for this. But I like my bikes LOUD, I like to set off car alarms riding thru town, I like to scare old ladies and little kids, I like dogs to wimper and run when I blip the throttle, a loud bike makes me all so what did I do you might ask? I took the muflers off! Put the turn down tips on the stubs coming out of the collector, and boy does she sound sweet!!!!!! and what did it cost? $0, I guess I coulda paid good money for some new rusty mufflers that I would get to grind on, but they would of made it quieter!

    sounds like he got a bad tire, i would return it if it was a new one from a dealer....

    I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say I just ordered a set of the Kenda Kruz tires and will be putting them on soon. I too am in WV and they will get a hard work out on the twisties. I will let y'all know how they work out.

    from the PM's I have received and comments from this post I think that may be the only viable option.

    you are close, it is a 450 Honda, not sure who made the frame though, It may be an Amen, but it wasnt a Saviour if it was, it was totally rigid. She is sportin' 750 yamaha rims and front forks. how about that custon electrical box with the wooden cover

    thanks again for all comments, anyone care to guess what #7 is?
