    Parts Wanted Looking for COPs setup

    Hey guys I am looking for a set of COPs, My bike is a 1998 so my understanding is I don't need to run resisters. If anyone has a set please let me know. Also I would prefer Denso over Mitsubishi. I have a slight stumble when I punch it. It doesn't happen if I am just rolling on the throttle just...

    1998 V-max gas cap key not turning sometimes

    New to me V-max, just getting started. Key doesn't turn in the gas cap sometimes. First time it happened I hit it with silicone spray and thought I had fixed it. Then it happened again. Seems like something is catching at 12:00 near the top of the keyhole. Maybe the first tumbler catches...

    New to me 1998 Vmax

    I just picked up a VMax and wanted to say hi. I am a member on the Jk Wrangler forum as well as a 10 year member on the Corvette forum. I am looking forward to learning more like I have from those sites. It's crazy to think of the wealth of information at our finger tips.

    I bought my 98 vmax 10 days ago and have put 250 miles on it and she ran good. Today when I took the bike for a ride when I came to an intersection the idle would go up to 3000 rpm's. If I would rev it a couple times it might come down a little. Any ideas what would make it do this. Was...
