Dave,
How clean is your K&N air filter ? make sure this is in good shape before
you do
anything else. What octane of gas do u run ? ( I switched to regular 87 octane gas
and my
Vmax runs like its on nitrous compared to before) Plug condition ?
ignition timing ? cam clearance ? all of these things should be correct before
you
get near the carbs for rejetting or syncing.
I have been kinda dissapointed with how my 94 Vmax ran at low rpms everysince
I purchased the bike in july of this summer. I was completely ready to dive into
the carbs
after reading all this stuff on the tech list. BUT, its always best [smart] to
change the
easy/cheap stuff 1st. I installed a new oem Yamaha air filter (my Vmax is
completely stock)
new NGK plugs, switched to regular gas (87 octane) and the bike runs like I
installed
a new (MUCH BETTER) engine...........
I have no idea how much (if any) better your airflow is with the slip-ons, but
its my
understanding that you have to do some changes to the carbs when you switch to the
K&N air filter. Stage 1
