Kyle it's funny you say something about the purple. The underside of the fake tank is that color

he's buying my max ;) We didn't know it until he's like oh I'm very serious about these kinds of bikes just ask these guys on www.vmaxforums.com my screen name on there is captain kyle. lol

only 4500? That sounds low to me imho. I posted mine up on craigslist for poops and grins when I found out the starter clutch gear thing was stripped out. I posted it for 2500 and I got a couple trade offers, one for a CBX and the other for a 98 concord, and 4 people wanting to come look at it...

ok! I ordered the starter clutch because well... the one from 1985 is round. lol I have a spare gasket for the cover so I'm good on that. I'm ready to get this damn thing on the road. It's been 2 years since I've bought this thing and I've only ridden it for about 2 months tops! Killing me dang...

I thought my starter went out again so I ordered a new one. Got it installed when I got out of work today and hit the button... Nothing but grinding; rock tumbler sound. So I'm assuming the starter clutch / idler gear is stripped. I'm browsing ebay right now and there's a few on there at a good...

i don't know if progressive is available in canada, is it? I pay 94 bucks a year for full coverage on my 85 max and 31.50 on my 1980 suzuki gs 450E with 4300 miles :)

no one stole it, i guarantee it. The same thing happened to me on my 84 magna v45. The plate got bent back a little at the bottom and the tire ripped it off from there. The only way I know this is because my friend saw the whole thing happen and almost died from my license plate. Just get a...

so the bike fixed itself. I left the choke lever down last night, forgot to put it back to off. I went out to try and start her today and sure as the sky is blue, she started! Smoked me out of the garage on less than 45 seconds. I tried to rev it up and it wouldn't go over 6 grand and sounded...

i took off the fuel hose from the tank, started it up, stuck the hose in the bottle to let it get some sucked up but not much at all was taken... like maybe half an inch worth taken out of the bottle. I'll check the leads again. I trimmed them.... i wanna say 2 months ago because of the...

I rode the bike around alot yesterday and parked it in the driveway after a good seafoaming. I went back out to get my girlfriend from work about 3 hours after and it didn't want to start at all. Just cranked and cranked but no glimmer of starting. I pulled the plugs and they were black, wet...

i would love to find a rebel or virago for my girlfriend to ride but they don't come cheap in a college town. Like stated above just grab a rebuild kit from honda and spend an hour or 2 of your time to get it done

well i think my mileage would be better if I didn't do ALL city stop and go driving. I hit 75 again when the reserve light came on. I'm sure if I took the interstate a bit more I could squeeze out 100 or so before the light

what's more "adult" than a cruiser that can knock the socks off any other cruiser alive?

give it a good wash once and then don't let it get dirty enough for a hose wash again! I've never washed my max, I polish it once a week and wax it every week as well. Looks awesome to me!

Welcome! I got my bike for a grand last august. Now she was in very NON-running shape; rusted out gas tank, battery with a hole in the side and corroded, busted starter solenoid, bald rear tire, dry rotted front tire, and break pads that crumbled in my hands. So here I am a year later and about...
