Hello Guys my name is Ethan and I am from Portland Oregon. I am visiting from Sacha's SRV540 Forum which are little brothers to the Vmax540 ha ha. And had a Question for you.

Right now i own a 1985 SRV and am wanting to put on a dual 38mm mikuni roundslide carb kit. Since it is hard to find a Reichard Dual carb kit for the SRV anymore i had another idea. What i want to do is take the carb mounting flanges off a Phazer since they were reed valve engines and with dual carbs. Then i will make a piece of rubber to angle the right hand carb since the SRV handle Bar rod is in the way. But i need your guys Vmax know how to help me.

First Problem: I want to keep my oil injection, so would it work to use a Vmax 540 throttle cable and oil cable but the problem is i dont know if they are the same and dont know how the Vmax cable works, Please give me your input.

Second: What jets do you run in the Vmax 540, and also i have my air box taken off so what jets would you guys prefer.

on this site go to article index then click on tuning data to get jetting. throttle cable off v-max should work. also if you dont run an airbox i would start rich on the jetting...

Hay Ethan , You are going to have to change the throttle lever also to one from a Vmax as the Srv only has a slot for one cable , and the Vmax has two slots, the other slot is for the oil injection cable ,so you will also have to use a Vmax oil cable. Normally the low end on a reed valve motor is set richer then a piston port motor so the specs for a Vmax may not work.If you call Riechards they should be able to tell you the carb specs that will work.By the way I drove a 91 Srv with the duel carb set up and PSI pipe and it was an animal. Good Luck!

Does anyone know if you can still get the Reichard Dual Carb Kit?

One more thing do any of you guys know the best place to get the V-max Throttle set-up with the lever and all the cables.

There is a guy on Ebay right now that is parting out a 85 or 86 Vmax there are cables and controls on there.
