2007 vmax with 14xx miles. Gonna need the carbs done. Hasn't been risen in a while. Nice clean low mileage bike that deserves to be rode. Looking for a fair offer for a low mileage bike. Thanks Jay

86 w/7k miles. $1600. In 09. 07 w/186 miles. $6500. 3 weeks ago.

The gears have ACTION scribed on them. I assume that is the co that worked on them. I guess I will be heading to the press. Thanks Jay

OK, finally pulled the motor out, split the cases, and I have the middle gear assembly on the bench. My book shows a special tool to disassemble this assembly. Is there a way to get this apart without this tool, am I just missing something? On the positive side the trans looks brand new, and is...

So you only had to notch on the shaft side? I thought it looked close. My tire will be here tomorrow. :punk:Thanks Jay

My rim is 5.75 wide.

Has anyone tried to put this tire on. Looks like it will fit w/ minimal notching. What are the pros and cons? thanks Jay

I think I found the problem. I will try to explain it. Behind the middle gear is a splined dog ear gear with a spring behind it. That gear is cracked on one side. Now all I have to do is swap it out. Anybody ever seen this happen before? Thanks Jay

So this problem would affect all gears at once? I mean it all happened at once, went from having all gears to acting like this in all gears? Thanks Jay

Had my bike out today, was running it, shifted to 2nd, and then it started. Now when you put a load on it in any gear there is a grinding sound. How bad is it do you think? Thanks Jay

Checked compression, 170 psi, it has spark, fuel is present @ the carb. Now what i did find is the a/f screw is siezed in that carb., adjusted the other ones and it is improving. So I guess i need to get that screw out. Any suggestions. Thanks Jay

Changed plugs this morning, I will go check the spark again.

Just got my 86 max back together. Took it down the road now it seems to be running on 3 cyl. If you unplug the coils the r/r coil seems to be the problem, but I switched coils and the problem stays w/ that cyl. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks Jay

Thanks Sean, I will try it. Jay :biglaugh:

I want to eliminate the air setup, and keep the stock springs, what weight oil do you recommend? thanks Jay
