Strange one. Out riding, stopped at junction and selected neutral. Despite engine already running, starter activated, plus oil and fuel warning lights illuminated. However, once in gear all returned to normal, at least as far as could be determined. Once home confirmed the problem persists, that...

Read through threads relating to the Gen1 tachometer and identified possible problems. Recognise the standard location leaves something to be desired, but not the problem at present, and it works, so believe connections are good. However, on one of those very rare occasions I might have...

OK, know this has featured before, so apologies, but an associated query. Acquired a rear wheel with an hardly worn tyre at a very good price. However, knowing the wheel had stood for some time, decided attention beyond cleaning made sense. Replacing wheel bearings and seals seems sensible...

OK, accept that electrical stuff requires a qualification in witchcraft, but sometimes I do reasonable. However, two issues have led to some elderly self doubts. The bike has US spec wiring. The first results from a previous owner wiring in twin warning lights to supplement the standard...

At the risk of this being previously discussed, could anyone advise on resolving the fast flash rate when fitting LED indicators ? Not fitted yet, but would like to get ahead of the potential problem. Having done this on a previous bike (BMW), started with resistors until later modification...

Previously followed the thread on fitting alternative horn. Led to my fitting a very acceptably loud, budget horn. More than once it has gained the attention of myopic, cell phone idiots, so well satisfied. The fitting issue wasn't quite as dramatic as for other guys because due to the Max...

I fully appreciate this one will not sit well with some enthusiasts on the forum, but here goes. Our '07 bike was purchased with a 4 into 1 exhaust. Looks good, really sensible with the exhaust exiting on the opposite side to the sidecar mounted on the left (our choice). However, whilst the...

Recently acquired late model Gen1. UK based but the lights set up is US with permanent lights on. Any information please on how to amend, so that I can decide when to light up ? Do appreciate there might be info already on the forum, but it's so comprehensive and searches have been fruitless.

Recently acquired an 07 Vmax 1200 and trying to familiarise myself with issues that can enhance ownership. Reading through several topics have come across the issue of changes to the brakes. So, an initial question. Does my late model Gen1 have improvements that possibly eliminate the need to...

Nothing novel about fitting a sidecar alongside the V Max, although clearly quite rare. However, it's our particular take on this aspect of motorcycling. Of course, totally accept that some will be shocked, dismayed, offended, puzzled, or some such. Do we care, not one bit, been doing such...
