Yamaha vmax 600 gyt pipes carb specs?

[r_sylvia]

A couple of bucks - from what I can tell that jet is for a motorcycle carb, and the way its made looks different to our carbs I think. Where the treads are? And the fact that it's from a 95. Apparently only the 96 vmaxs were equipped with the proper q8 jets? But is that all 96 models or just specific ones?

Check out this eBay listing I found. Using the parts diagram for a 1996 vmax I looked up the part number for the nozzle. The number is 8ay-14141-58. Doesn't say if its q8, but EBay listing that couple of bucks posted is part number 3tc-14141-58 and it confirms it's a q8. So because it's just the first 3 characters changing I'm thinking the 8ay is still a q8, and that 3tc is just a different type of q8? Who agrees?

Unfortunately the parts diagram doesn't say how many of these nozzles are required per machine.

Who are you talking too srx1000?

 

[A couple of bucks]

Where is that page or site that says what parts go on different machines.

Here is a link to the parts diagram I'm using. So where exactly would those shims for the needle go? Between which numbers on the diagram?

You could always call your dealer and ask if that p/n fits your carbs.

Couple of bucks - here is the link I used that tells me this part is used on motorcycles. On the bottom it says this part is used on 95 yz125. Click on that. Says part used on motorcycles.

And I would like to know what you guys who already have these pipes have used, 1 or 2 q8 nozzles?

I've seen both. No problems either way.

 

[r_sylvia]

Ok. Can anyone provide links to where you can buy the needle shims needed?

Yes that was very helpful! Thanks. So for the gyt pipes what needle position should I use?

 

[A couple of bucks]

More than likely there are enough shims already in there. One of the shims(that is doubled up) just needs to be moved to the next 1/2 position.

 

[A couple of bucks]

2.5 just like in the illustration.

Here is a nice shim kit on eBay. It's not exactly 0.4 mm. 0.4 mm in inches is 0.015. The kit comes with .010, .020, and 0.30 shims. So I guess with this kit you can use either a .010 or .020 shim. A bit richer or a bit leaner. Probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Couple of bucks - can you make a clearer copy of that image? I can't read anything.

 

[A couple of bucks]

I found that while surfing the web. Mabey change brightness or definition.

 

[r_sylvia]

So do you agree that when using these pipes I need to use 92 octane fuel or better?

 

[A couple of bucks]

Sh!!!!!!t yes

 

[A couple of bucks]

You obviously have a .6 head gasket(95).

 

[r_sylvia]

Ok just asking. I thought octane levels only had to be raised if compression was going to be raised.
