I have a 97 Vmax for sale. I'm in San Antonio Tx. Don't want to sale it but my daughter is heading off to Texas Tech and I need the cash. Has a lot of parts t go with it. I have a shim set, wind screen and a lot more. Bike has newly rebuilt carbs, see through clutch cover, drag mars, new bar end...

I realized that the wires on my front two cylinders were going to the wrong cylinders. I crossed them and the bike fired up and ran for the first time in a year. Now I can move on to fork seals, brake master cylinder and paint. I hope to have it on the road in a week or two. Then, its up for...

That was it, the front wires were not crossed. Looking from the seat forward. the coil on the left went to the left spark plug and the coil on the right went to the right plug. I crossed them and it fired. Thanks for all the assistance.

It wont even start. It will crank and stumble and try and then backfire through the carbs. The mechanic did take them completely apart and cleaned everything. He was very methodical about it. The only questionable thing is that the air fuel adjustment was 3 turns out. I remember reading...

Thanks for the replies. I am not sure what a COP is. My bike has two coils un under the instrument panel. My thought initially was that maybe the previous owner has them hooked up wrong. Do the plug wires cross? Does the left coil provide spark for the right front cylinder? Or does each side...

Hi from Texas, I am almost done with my Vmax. It is a 97 and when I got it, it was running on two cylinders. I cleaned the carbs, cleaned the tank, put a fresh inline fuel filter in, checked timing, checked all electrical connections and put a new batter in. It just wont start! I'm not sure...

likembikem, Thanks for the reply. That is actually not the part I am looking for, however, it is right next to the relay though. I believe that component has something to do with the ignition. I could be wrong about that though. I appreciate your help. JS

Ok, I posted a few months ago about having issues with my fuel pump. I got a lot of great suggestions like cleaning the fuse contacts, as well as the reserve switch. I did all of these, but, nothing works. the fuel pump is good. It runs when I connect a jumper to it directly from the battery. I...

zitzelbj, Thanks for that. I will check those as well. Much appreciated!

Thank you all for the great information and help. I ordered another pump and should have it soon. I will check the ground as well. Does anyone have a source for the relay other than Yamaha? It seems ridiculous to pay over $80 bucks for a relay. Any ideas? Thanks again! You guys have been a...

i checked the fuses first and they all looked fine. I checked the relay because it was unplugged at some point but couldn't see any issues with it. I unplugged the pump and checked the wiring with an amp meeter and it seems to be sending power to the pump when you turn the key on. Any ideas...

Hi, I am working on my first VMax. I received it in a trade running on two cylinders. The guy I got it from thought the previous owner messed up the valve clearances. Long story short, all valves were within speck. I purchased a new battery thinking it was the battery because the bike...

Hi, Name is Josh. Just got my first V-Max. It is an 86 model which needs a lot of work. It has been abused and neglected for many years. It is a complete restoration / modification project. I plan to post pictures as I build it. As of now, it is compleatly...I mean compleatly apart. Im...
