Hey everyone,
I just got a Vmax, a little bit less than 3 months ago ago, and now I am forced to sell it.
1992 Yamaha Vmax.
A bit of background;
Had a 2005 Dodge magnum, found out water got in the transmission, could not afford repairs so I sold it. My Max was the daily driver. about a week later (1 month ago), the bike starts hesitating, and cuts out. does not start again. light work, but fuel pump is not clicking, and starter doesn't turn. kind of like starting a bike in gear.
took it to a shop, said ignition switch is faulty.
bought a new one (OEM)
had it installed, and worked fine.
Connectors were cleaned
ran fine for about a month.
Yesterday, the bike hesitated again, and it died. Will not start. All the lights work. but the fuel pump does not click, starter makes no attempt.
Vboost does not cycle.
I have my reasons to suspect the kill switch swithc is faulty.
Could an ignition switch go bad so quick?
I have a AGM battery less than a month old, installed by myself. Has full charge.
I have gas.
Has new OEM ignition switch less than 1 month.
Ran great prior to incident.
I can't risk fixing the bike, and having it break down on me one more time, no matter how expensive, so I have to sell it.
I'm the only one working, and father of 2 kids.
Life takes priority.
Need to fix bike, and sell it to by a car.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
