Thank you very much for the info!! You mentioned the brakes and I noticed on this bike the front and rear rotors have a pretty serious lip on them, which makes sense for the miles. So when I get that far the rotors are going to need to be changed. I also noticed that there seems to be a plethora...

And tires are a must for sure, same with the brakes and such. But I agree, need to make the engine run first. Would be a waste of money to put new tires on the bike if the engine is blown

Worked out with no money changing hands. Did some work on a couple of his cars and a couple of his bikes. I think the deal was quite fair. What you said fire-medic, is exactly what my plan is actually haha. I'm gonna clean the carbs, change the oil, clean the fuel system, and see what the motor...

Ok guys, reviving an old thread, but the deal is done. The max is in my possession!!! So it's actually an 89. Don't think that means much haha. It needs quite a lot of things to be sure, and I'm taking a hell of a chance on it, but I figure worst case I can part it out and recoup my money for...

That's where I was at as well. The bike does need a lot of work to get it back in rideable shape. I called around to find out some labor cost to fix the bike(knowing I would be doing the work) and out of ten shops I called, only one would even work on it. And he was saying at least a grand to...

Hi all! Been on the forum perusing things for a while but only posted one other time. I got a lot of good info on that post and I appreciate it a ton! The last time I posted, I was looking at purchasing a 1988 vmax and wasn't sure it was worth it. I got a resounding no on that one. I didn't end...

And yes I am in Oregon lol. Far East oregon

Alright everyone, sorry I haven't posted back sooner. The guy came over and looked at my bike. Ride it a ways and likes the neck out of it. He also said that he got the vmax running but it won't rev. Needs the carbs gone through. I offered a straight across trade and he said no. I told him that...

Thank you everybody for all the info. I'm going to meet him today. We will see what happens. I'll let everybody know!

Interesting. He says he has a differential from a venture that would go with the bike. I know the venture is taller geared, but if I was to get, I could swap them out and see if the noise goes away. Assuming the venture differential will fit on the vmax? They do look similar.

Ya I was thinking 2k was way too much as well. As far as thewhine noise goes, he says its not coming from the differential. More like up at the middle gear? I think that's what it's called. My honda is a shaft drive as well and mine also makes a slight whining noise from that area. Its done that...

Hi everybody! So ive got the vmax itch bad since the beginning of this year, and it seems that an opportunity to purchase one local to me has arisen. I currently am riding an 83 honda ascot 500 twin. The vmax that this guy has is a 1989. It has 68000 miles on it and hasent been on the road in a...
