The one under the stator cover? If it's bad or going out when warm, wouldn't it mean there would be no spark? Also should mention I have COPS and Ignitech

heh, ya. stator seems to test fine. I replaced the R/R since my charge was low, and now I'm right where I need to be. I also have the new R/R wired directly to the batter to remove the crimp situation, etc. It has spark up until the moment it dies on me. I was thinking of possibly being the...

slightly adjusted float levels last night (but they were pretty much dead on already). Checked spark on all cylinders. Fuel pump seems to be working (gonna do some more testing tonight; However, my problems initially would run sometimes for quite a while before cutting out. now it's not even...

Done it 3 times now just for current issues (well, first two times just did a cleaning with them together, but latest time I completely took them all apart, etc)! This weekend was kind of my last ditch effort. Completely redid carbs and got new rubber thingies for both the vboost and carbs (my...

So, I'm at my wits end and am actually contemplating taking my bike in to get fixed (or at least troubleshooted). I've never used a mechanic to service either of my bikes before, so don't know anyone. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic who is knowledgeable on 1st gen vmax? I'm...

So, after spending a few weeks trying to get this fixed, I'm still struggling to get this thing to run right. I wired up a cheap volt meter to the battery so I could watch voltage as I was riding around. I wired the R/R directly to the batter with its own fuse, and started riding around. At...

So voltages were definitely lower in comparison to what i'm reading in the electrical forum. I should have written it down, but without running or key, I was at 12.8v (good so far), but on idling at 1k, it was around the same, and then at 2.5k it was only at 13.1v. I ended up wiring the R/R...

Thanks guys. I left it at my parents last weekend, but this weekend when I get it back home I'll run through some electrical stuff. Kept focusing on fuel-related stuff since thats how it felt.

I know this same type of post has shown up a thousand times, but I've been reading through many of them, and don't seem to fit my same circumstances. Been having nothing but issues on my bike these last few months. The problem is intermittent enough that I think I got it fixed, only to come...

Thanks everyone for your input. I really appreciate it!

Thought I would post a link to a couple pics for reference. One shows what I have on the tire itself, and the other shows inside the drive shaft. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/j68xg38p4im8m31/AAADqWVLku0AIqcqOSB-ilDwa

Thanks, but I was looking at that already, and since it's an exploded diagram, I got even more confused :)

So, got the rear tire swapped out (rode over a nail!!!), but I pulled it myself to save a few bucks. Have done it once or twice before. When I was putting things back, I think I lost a spacer. I've looked all over my garage though, and cannot find anything. This is what I have. From the...

I was kinda blown away, but that was it. Got the new gasket on, and it started right up with no issues! YAY! Thanks all for your help.

The 1 click was happening even when I was running the fuel to a jar (no pressure). I took of the plastic cap that protected the electronics and it started working again. I think I didn't have it positioned correctly and it was causing it to hang up. Getting the gasket and will see what happens
