I have been having fuel issues for some time. First the bike would die when I hit around 150 kph. But would almost immediately start up again. A month later, the bike died on the way to work, a short 5 km ride at slow speeds. I would coast over, and cycle the reserve and pump would refill the...

Hi Guys, Still having a self battle about selling vs keeping my Gen 2 Vmax. I thought I would change the oil and to be honest it is in winter storage and I didn't even look at it last summer to see if it was just like the gen 1's to do oil changes. It's been awhile since I owned my last...

Ok, I remember running a set of Kerker slipons on my old 1986 FZ750, they seemed at home on that bike, but Im wondering if they will be worth a damn on the Vmax? I found a vendor that sells them for $728 out the door. Any thoughts? I thought about a set I saw from Belgium, they look pretty...

Got this off VmaxChat: http://vmaxchat.yuku.com/topic/19703/Clutch-And-Front-Brake-Lever-Bearings#.VyK2NlbwHHZ There was a mod here on the forum (it came from another forum) that used a needle bearing to be pressed into a modified clutch lever and machine the pivot pin bolt...

I need to know if the cooling system "joint" pictured below is threaded into the other parts. Mine is leaking (but bandaged) and I will be ordering the joint and the o-rings. When I pull it apart, I need to know if there are any other gaskets I need to worry about, or can I just simply replace...

Went on about a 60 mile "ride to lunch" with some other riders today. I traded with a friend for part of the ride - he has a GSX-R 1000, and we always talk smack to each other. His bike has some mods, and super powerful. We switched back and my friend said my V-Max has much more power than he...

I recorded this video today. Wish you fully experience this exhaust system sound. This was first gear - probably should have used second. http://vid5.photobucket.com/albums/y177/Lotsokids/V-Max/New%20VMax/VMax_Burnout_zpslv4nydjv.mp4

Ok, I've got 2 new electric horns that I want to mount on my Max. From reading many threads I'm planning to add a hot wire to the positive battery terminal (which is a pain to access) with a 30 amp inline fuse. This will lead directly to the horn relay. For the negative on the relay I will run a...

Hi Guys, I have a simple question.. When you turn your key to the on position, does your headlight come on? Mine come on, then goes out as I press the starter. As soon as the bike fires up, it comes back on.. Just wondered, because a fellow rider made mention all of his bikes (Non V-Max's)...

I'm making my 98 Vmax a little more personal. Painted fenders and faux tank cover and side plates "hot rod black". Had scoops and several other metal pieces powdercoated gloss black. Installed forward controls which got powdercoated too. Swapped turn signals for tiny LED's that are flat black...

I'm not 100 % positive but it just seems like my 2002 Vmax is running rich at idle and low RPM. I know from past experience they all seem to smell rich at idle but this one is over the top to me. My question is whether it would be worth it to drill out the plugs and attempt to change the mixture...

A few months ago the Max started running crappy on idle. Had so many things to do and the weather was getting cold, so I just kind of parked the bike and figured I'd need to do the shotgun cleaning the next time the weather warmed up. A couple of days ago however, it warmed up to over 40f so I...

Having got my 88 project on the road I had noticed that it wasn't really cranking fast at all. It had been off the road all the time I was building it and assumed that the battery might be on the way out. I had another one from an xv750 which is the same battery and the result was just the same...

Simple question, but a true pain in the butt...... Every time I have to take the airbox off for anything, it is a pain to reinstall the breather hose back onto the crankcase. I can't get my hands in there. Any simple suggestion, or simple mod to help with this? I've been riding around...

Check out the CV to throttle body conversion kit for the Vmax. I been working hard on figuring a way to fuel inject my Vmax engines and came up with this conversion that works great and you can still use the V-boost. It's a very simple setup and uses a Microsquirt or Megasquirt ECU. You trigger...

Hi All, I am expecting my carbs back from Sean someday soon and when they get here I will have to make sure they are in sync, I bought a Carbtune Pro and after reading it I'm a bit confused. Me being confused is not strange because I am now just starting to learn how to work on my own VMAX...

I was wondering how people know what wheels will fit on their said bikes...? I'm used to how simple it is on cars, like 5x100 or 4x108, etc. How does it work for bikes?
