Thanks for all the great advice everyone...especially Miles. I removed the ignition and once opened, found a great big corroded mess. Cleaned it, installed it, bike runs perfect again. Thanks again!

The battery terminals are clean and properly connected. I checked my main fuse connection and it was fine. I made a 30amp jump wire and tried to see if it would provide juice to the dash and headlight...it did not. There's no power going to anything, which leads me to think it's the...

Hello All, Took a ride up to Catskil, NY this Sunday. Bike has been running beautifully. I stopped for breakfast and when I went back to start the bike...nothing. no lights, fan, nothing. I didn't bring many tools, and since it was a Sunday, nothing was open. I checked the battery, and...

Hello all. Looks like one of my fork seals on my 1988 vmax is starting to leak. I have a couple of questions regarding my next step.... I'm in NYC, so there's nowhere for me to do it myself, it will be taking her to a shop. Should I upgrade to a newer model VMax set of rebuilt forks and...

Welcome aboard! You'll find the nicest and most helpful folks in here. It's amazing how much information is available. Congrats on the bike! Don

Welcome! I'm riding an '88 as well!

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but thats really funny! Glad you and the bike are ok.
