Facet makes a electronic fuel pump that we used on experimental air craft.
Its small and has good reliability. Look at aircraft Spruce and supply.

Venture Hop UP

2000-12-09 Thread Robert F. Smith, Jr.

Hi Guys,
Have any of you put  V-max cams in a stock Venture motor? If so
what was the result? I suspect a loss of bottom end torque with a power gain 
on top.
With the New Gold Wing 1800cc pumping out some real power in the 115hp 
range the mighty Venture is surpassed.
We can't have that, now can we?  Not NO! but Hell No!!!

All input welcomed as I figure out what I'm gonna do about it.

Re: A few questions

2000-12-09 Thread Sat Tara S. Khalsa

Hi Denis,

Whoever you've been talking to, avoid them in the future. They're
completely, totally, apodictically ignorant. Do you suppose the design has
remained virtually unchanged for 15 years because the Japanese love high
maintenance machinery? (Just like Toyota and Lexus, those maintenance hogs.)

The Max, in stock form, is anything but a high maintenance bike. Ask the
bozo who suggested that it was high maintenance if they own a Ducati 916 (or
any other of the desmoquattro bikes). (Or far that matter, have ever SEEN
one.) Now THERE'S a high maintenance bike.

The max is extremely low maintenance, due to its generally reliable Japanese
character. It has a shaft drive, so no chain problems. The valves need to be
checked every 26 THOUSAND miles or so.

The Max requires about as much maintenance as most Japanese bikes...that is,
approximately none. Compared to ANY European bike, with the possible
exception of BMW's, it requires NO maintenance. Just change the fluids now
and then, and it's happy.

If reliability and low maintenance are your goals, a stock Max fits the bill
quite nicely.

best,
Sat Tara

I used 15 minutes to mount. (With seat, coils, etc. removed and mounted
again)
It fit's like a glove!
It drops down the batteriecase about half way, then a slight push and
presto, fits.
The pols are on the right side, the screws fit, even the rubberband
fits!
And wait till you push the button: woww, cranks real fast!

It's a "have to have"

I put 36 in the front tire and 32 in the back, put 11lbs in the forks, as

I have heard of some doing a test by drilling a small hole where the

paperclip through , and measuring the free play.  You can put a dab
of silicone on the hole when you are done.  There is said to be quite
a difference in the amount of free play going from one Max to the
next.

In case you have not followed my saga,  I have the Max that eats
about a quart every 500 miles.  I put it into Rio Yamaha in Las
Cruses New Mexico and they seem to think it is a oil ring problem.
   They filled the case with regular Yamaha 4 oil and now my Max only
drinks a quart every 2,000 miles.  They said to run the Yamaha 4 for
5,000 miles and see if the oil consumption goes down or up.  They
seem to think since I used synthetic oil for the life of the bike,
the ring never did seat.  The saga continues!

Fairings

2000-12-09 Thread Scott Hallmark

Gary,

The fairing will really do little to help when the speeds get above 100. I 
have had mine above 100 numerous times. What I have noticed is body 
position helps tremendously when at those types of speeds. Not only being 
tucked but arm/elbow position as well as knees and feet (toes pointed up or 
down) will make noticeable differences. The fairing will help, depending on 
your height, in everyday riding.

And yes a Max is capable of ~150. I have had mine to 155, at least that is 
what my buddy said. I personally didn't have the balls to look down to see 
what the speedo registered

No comparison. At 150, Busa is still pulling very hard. Can't wait to do
a turbo Bandit. Here kitty kitty.

Re: Who has? take care

2000-12-09 Thread wakeforest

Congratulations on your choice,
Just a word of someone who's been there, done that and so on. I
agree that there are many things you can do with a Busa you can't with the
max, but still I do not agree with your statement "if you can't beat them
join them". I think the idea is more like cover the space that Max does not,
and that is low flying and high speeding with a good handling and good
braking capabilities.
From traffic light to traffic light your Max is the bike, not even your new
Busa can beat it. riding up to 70 MPH Max is the bike once again, being able
to look around you while doing so instead of crouching down and barely
seeing the white lines on the road is the huge difference between both
machines. Low end torqueno comments.

When you go to some bike gathering and you park your brand new Busa, if you
see a Max, just notice how bystanders and bikers spend more time looking at
the Max than any other bike around, that's also one of the Maxe's well
deserved pole positions. (Hell, I should of brought the Max
instead!.will happen many times).

There's one very important warning I don't want to let go without saying and
that is, take care, all high speed bikes can fool you regarding the velocity
you are doing, the Max wobbles, shakes, the wind rips you off the bars, at
any rate warns you well in advance, but the low flight missiles have none of
that, so take care.

 When notching the swing arm to accomodate a wider tire. How much can you safely

Sandy Benicci did mine, and he removed about 1/2"
