sitting

I’m checking out a 2009 Vmax with 1500mi that’s supposedly in showroom condition and has been sitting in a temp controlled garage since 2012. Owner seems competent (lots of toys) and says they changed oil and brake fluid and bring it to operating temp every so often. I’ll be taking it for a...

Hello - I am newbie not only to this forum, but to the VMax. I did some searching within the forum before I posted, but was not able to find exactly want I need to know. I just picked up a 1985 VMAX 1200 which has been sitting in a garage for 3 years without being started or covered...

as some may know my grandpa passed and left me his 86 vmax. I should be picking it up soon(waiting for all the legal stuff to happen before I take ownership). so as it appears the bike has sat since 2006. Im taking a guess because the tag says 06 on it lol. Now I have no idea why it sat or what...

Hmm, where do I start. This is my first spring with a Vmax. It doesn't even appear to want to start. I got it to hit a time or two and one backfire, but nothing after that. I didn't put any stabilizer in, just filled the tank with premium before putting it up for the winter. I tried...

My vmax has been under a cover in my garage for the last 6 years. The garage is insulated, but not heated. The extent of winterizing the bike was to drive it to my house, park it, and cover it. Life got in the way and I haven't been able to justify the cost of insurance/riding gear until...

I have a 2012 vmax with about 475 miles on it. I bought it a few years ago and it had to sit in a nice garage for a while because I was not around to ride it. The battery still has enough juice to start it but I am concerned about the oil. It is the original crank case oil and it's old at this...

Hi All, I left the country for a few months and had to put my '99 VMAX in storage for about 8 months. Needless to say before doing so I had to drain the tank and pulled the battery...I did also change the oil. I just put in some fresh fuel with SeaFoam and a nice new battery. She...

I suspect that one of my carbs are leaking into one of my cylinder when it sits Symtoms 1.when i pull the plug in one cylinder its wet even after sitting a day 2.my gas millage is poor only getting about 85-90 miles before light comes on 3. the fuel pump pumps really long after just sitting a...

There is probably a thread for this if there is i cant find it , got a max coming from overseas at present its going thru customs etc , been to my local dealer wanting a full service he recommended pulling carbs to bits etc for a clean , im just wondering what else should i need to get done on...

2009 VMAX squatter and pics...woohoo OH HOW SWEET IT WAS....i have more pics to post ,just have to resize :th_image003:only 2 in the states for now, and over 600 already sold.

I've been reading the forum but I haven't found anyone describing the problem that I have. A little back ground, I just bought the 85 Max which has a 92 engine on it. The previous owner said that it ran fine when he parked it about a year and a half ago. He did get it out once last year for...

I bought an '02 VMax w/ 7900 miles on it at an auction. It's been sitting for maybe 1 year with no long term storage prep. Today was day one with it. Here's what I know: The right front carb will spit fuel out of the vent tube, and fuel comes up through the Main Jet Air Bleed when cranking...

Before I put my 85 Max in storage it was just tuned and running better than ever. Unfornunately I left half a tank of gas in it for 7 years. What is the minimum that should be done before running it?
