I have until tomorrow/Friday to sell this beautiful VMAX before I head out of country for a while. I sure would like to have a knowledgeable forum member have this bike. No reasonable offer turned away. Don't miss this opportunity. Email, or call me at 305.299.0598 ED

Thanks Kyle. You should know :)

This is the last update and offer I posted on ebay today. If not sold by Thursday, it will be wholesaled to a local dealer. My pressure to sell is your gain. I offer the same as ebay here in the VMAX forum. "It is with regret that I offer my 2006 Vmax for sale. I have loved this bike for...

It is almost with tears in my eyes I let you know that I have decided to sell this bike. See http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?p=376934#post376934 post for the details. Again, I appreciate all the great advice and comaraderie through this last ordeal. Turned out that the fuel pump took a...

It is with regret that I offer my 2006 Vmax for sale. I have loved this bike for the year I have had it...but realize I really need a fuel injected touring bike for my wants and needs. I have bought and sold on Ebay, including this bike...but am first offering on the Vmax forum before listing...

WHeres the best place to pick up a filter Kyle? And yes everyone...if I hadn't found Kyle shortly after buying this bike, I probably wouldn't still have it today. I will probably keep tinkering til he returns...but won't do any major diving into carbs or electronics right now. I have a...

No...the off/run switch has never been the issue. Always first thing I check when starting. I am still convinced it has something to do with the 2 right side carbs that I can't drain any gas from. If the floats are stuck...they are stuck good. I have tapped and tapped. Any other ideas how to...

I will check that in the morning. Is that the same switch as "reserve tank"? Still...how would that explain getting no gas from the right hand carbs when i try and drain the bowls? I have tried everything but gotten NO gas from the right hand carb bowls. Thanks again for everyones continued...

Spray it in the drain tubes, or other areas as well? And how hard should I be hitting the covers? Would it help to take the covers off? Is there risk in that the spring and everything else comes apart with the cover?

Do I need carb cleaner...or would WD40 (which I have) work?

Thanks guys. I was able to identity the drain screws and performed that drainage. Here is where I have a couple questions. I forgot to turn over the starter while doing this a couple times as someone suggested to do. BUT...I only got gas coming out of the two left cylinders. Nothing came out...

HI Guys. I am making progress and thought I would share some photos of what I found so far. I have purchased some tools, downloaded the vmax manuals, and yesterday for the first time ever changed out my own spark plugs. Not knowing what is normal, it appears to me these plugs were quite...

Ok...staying away from the fluid then. I have found a number of youtube videos that help explain some of the things you guys are saying. Here are links to what I deem the most interesting. If any others to share...let me know. Just trying to shareback from my time spent here...

You guys are blowing my mind with all these great ideas and shared experiences. Thanks for taking the time. What a great forum. Will keep you posted how it goes. Still...no one has responded to my question of "should I first try spraying starter fluid somewhere?". I also read on a post...

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. I do believe gas is flowing fine since each time I try to start I smell the gas after a few cranks. Draining or unsticking the floats sounds like the next step if I can figure out how. Does anyone recommend starting with trying starter fluid? And where...
