Bought a 95 vmax a couple of weeks ago and I tore the carbs off for a cleaning this weekend and noticed I was jetted way down from factory jetting. Although the sled was running good and the plugs looked ok the 143.8 mains seem kinda lean my manual calls for 158.8. Probably gonna order jets now but I'm just wondering what everyone else is running for jetting on there vmax 600.

They were jetted fat from Yamaha,i still have factory jetting in mine good for colder days.
post up some plug shots from runs at mid and top end with the porcelain and ground strap showing and we can tell better, I'd be Leary of that lean jetting no wonder you put the spanking on dougs sxr,lol
wright down your carb settings and post it,hate to see you burn it already.

I left my sled at Dougs and I think he's out riding right now.
I'm probably gonna jet up to be on the safe side though.

just a LITTLE tease for ya..lol 

In anticipation of my pipes coming in the mail and knowing I will have to rejet, I took my carbs apart. I'm running 153.8 main jets, 52.5 pilot jets, and my needle clip raised one notch to drop the needle. My elevation is around 500 feet above sea level and I'm still fat and have run it at -25 and still been ok.Bluemonster2 said:Bought a 95 vmax a couple of weeks ago and I tore the carbs off for a cleaning this weekend and noticed I was jetted way down from factory jetting.

good we got together today for a ride,it was mild out to.Scott I figured out your sled got 13.45 mpg last time out..not to bad.But today we figured your oil to gas was 26:1.And the alignment marks on pump was just past 1mm.There is no adjustment on the cable adjuster except for 1mm.So now the oil pump marks are aligned.And that is all we can adjust.You might be sitting at maybe 30:1 and can't get it any leaner because adjuster on cable is at the end..so that said you will be using extra oil.It came out to be from last ride a week back that you used 1025 ml oil to 27 liters of gas...Like I said..a bit rich but no wat to adjust leaner.
