So i bought a 97 vmax 500 xtc. Ran great for the first couple of days I had it. Then the snow melted and when it snowed again i noticed a loss in power. When its cold it runs great no problems. But when it gets warm it seems it doesnt want to go as fast. There is basically no track spin, and when i get to about 60-65mph it doesn't seem to want to go any faster. It does't bog down or anything but it acts like it cant go any faster. My first guess was the carbs, so i took them apart cleaned them, didn't help. I also noticed the plugs are some what wet after a good ride. So then i was leaning towards electrical. Now last night was out riding for about fifteen mins or so and all of my lights went crazy! If i hit the throttle the lights would go out. When i say lights i mean dash, head, an tail. It also acted like it did before the lights went out, loss of power. Is this two separate problems, or do they relate? any advice is helpful an greatly appreciated. Just wanna get back out there the snow melts away again.
Thanks, Mike
