Thinking about buying one of the cheap tachometer/speedometers ebay but concerned on the accuracy of both readings. I know at lesat a couple of people here are running them, care to comment ?

Noticed the oil level light come on as I was coming home today, pulled over to take a look at the sight glass as it was within range. Continued home, filled oil to the top mark and the light is still on. Any ideas other than a bad sensor?

any winter riders using heated grips and if so what specifically?

Does the Vmax have one?

98 Vmax, 18,000 miles, getting a tapping/knocking like noise on cold starts that goes away once warm. Increases with RPM. Almost sounds like the noise a sticky hydraulic lifter makes in a pushrod motor. Possible I need valve adjustment? As far as I know, it's never been done on this bike.

Anyone with a Givi top case on their Vmax? I read that nobody makes mounting brackets, but I'm thinking if I'm willing to sacrifice the rear seat it shouldn't be too hard to fab something up to work?

Anyone have issues burning out coils if the bike sits in the rain (or you're washing the bike). I had a set of used R6 coils, and I'm down to two now, as the other two started to arc after it sat in some heavy-ish rain. Not sure if it's the water that's making them go bad or just coincidence.

Been having a constant issue with my 98 for some time now. Bike has 16k miles, 4-1 Kerker, Stage 7 dynojet kit with the individual K&N pods, air correctors, S7 needles, and drilled slides. I've never been able to get the bike to run smoothly. My main problem is WOT sputtering below 6-7k RPM, and...

I've noticed that setting my dry float with the 1.125" gap does not result in a 17mm wet float level. Any reason this would happen other than a bad caliper? I assume I should adjust based on wet float measurements rather than dry?

First, my pilot fuel jets are marked 40 whereas I think stock size is like 37.5? Any reason why the PO would have put a larger one in and should I bother going back to stock or can I just screw in my A/F screws a bit to compensate? Secondly, how much of a difference does half a clip on a...

Plastic shroud in front left scoop that covers the throttle cable linkage box and gets screwed in behind the electrical connections. Need the part number, mine is all broken.

From reading this thread: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=5329 It sounds like if I'm just switching my stock springs for the stock-replacement ones from Progressive (# 11-1144, NOT the lowering 10-1563 kit) , I should be able to simply remove the top nut, take the spring, washer...

While putting carbs back together, I managed to snap the plunger/screw thing for the choke. I need a new choke screw assembly, which is listed in the parts catalog (1GR-1410A-00-00 - Starter set), but it seems I can't buy a new housing? The screw portion sheered off so it would be much...

Just reassembled the bike after installing stage 7 needles, 150 mikuni main jets, and replacing two coast enricher diaphragms there were completely deteriorated. I've got all the carbs sync'ed, and it runs great everywhere except for a hesitation when coming off idle from a stoplight, and a...
