    Oddball issue

    Okay. We bought another vmax for the wife. Needed a starter clutch and had a dead spot right at the start of throttle travel. Someone sometime put a toggle switch on to control the fan, although the fan still comes on like it should....no heating up issues either so not sure why they did this...

    left side crank case leak

    Just bought my second Vmax today, got an 85 in a trade for our V45 Magna and we gave some cash. It was sitting and idling no issue. When we walked back over to the 85 after looking at my 04 Vmax, I noticed a little puddle of oil under the 85. It's on the left hand side where the cover with the...

    Electrical issue?

    It started fine Friday night. Then when I went to start it Saturday afternoon it cranked a little but didn't start. I put it on a 12v 2amp charge for about 6 hours. Went back out and nothing.

    Electrical issue?

    I am getting ready to get the bike out for the season, the first time I started it, it started and ran fine, but the battery seemed a little weak. When i went out today to start the bikes (after charging the Magna's battery) the old Honda fired up. But the Vmax (04 btw) acted like it does if the...

    Shinko 230 170/80 15 and 110/90 18

    I went with the Mtzeler 880's but a friend at work swears by the shinkos on his ZX11. He said he went to the J&P Cycles open house last weekend and continental had some new tires they were pushing....comparable to the shinkos.

    Rode my Super Magna around the block....

    My girlfriend still rides my 1983 V45 Magna. She likes it enough until I get on the Vmax hard and she can't keep up. We had it painted this spring...it's hard to tell in the picture but it is metallic black with chrome decals. I atached a picture of the bikes in the Garage at the moment...
