Yes, I spent 1979 and 1981 there during flight school. I met and married my wife there. When I retired, guess who won the "where will we settle down" discussion :)

1999 VMAX with UFO Performance Headers and Dynojet Stage 7 Jet Kit The color in the pictures does not represent the real color. The last pic is the closest match, it is candy apple red. Very fast bike, with the UFO modifications you get the performance that the VBoost provide throughout the...

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's PCW?

I think I need a new clutch. Either it is slipping or the back tire is losing traction. Any advice? The bike I just purchased has the UFO exhaust and stage 7 carb kit. I suspect the previous owner(s) might have enjoyed the increased power so much the stock clutch could not handle it. Does...

Do I need to drain the oil before removing the small left crankcase cover?

Have Chrome Carb Intake covers?

Do I just need to remove the small left crankcase cover (#2) to get to it?

Good advice, thanks

Has anyone rebuilt the Clutch Slave? It seems pretty straight forward, but thought I'd asked for some expert advice from someone that has done it. Thanks, Bill

Interesting using a carb vacuum to set the idle jet. I always though you used the eng RPM to do that?

What's a Morgan Carbtune?

I looked at the parts finder and yes, it is the drain plug. Went back to the carbs and found the hidden hole the 4 screws go in.

That's what it looks like, but where does it screw in? Anyone have a pic of where it goes?

OPS, thanks for letting me know I forgot to attach a pic. I was thinking something like 2 1/2 turns, pretty standard for most bikes. What was interesting was the idle screws on these carbs were screwed in almost all the way, maybe 1 1/2 out at the most for 1 or 2 of them, the rest were close...

Does anyone know where this screw goes on the carbs. Also, how far to I back out the pilot screw initially after a carb cleaing? Thanks, Bill

Good info, thanks. As look at it closer, it seems that the starter gear does not move in and out as power is applied. If that is the case, the starter clutch sure looks like the issue. So glad yukonerdave posted such good info on how to repair it. Thanks

Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the starter? I just purchased a 1999 VMax with a starter issue. I'm not sure what it is, it sounds like a bendix spring (if they have one) in the starter, but the guy I bought it from said he had the left eng side cover off so I am thinking the starter...

Why does the 1985 VMAX has so much HP, as opposed to the later models, like the 1999 model that I have for example? Is there anything I can do to my 1999 model to increase the HP to closer to the 1985 model? Thanks, Bill

Looking for Gear shifter (shift pedal) Looking for a used, reasonably priced, part

Mine is just the opposite as yours, slotted on the left (electrical side) and solid on the coolant side. I wonder why they would be different?
