Am selling my Scooter and have a set of these... https://web.archive.org/web/20150317171945/http://www.fatmax.com/access1/acces1.htm Bought them from Sean Morely a number of years ago. I seem to remember paying around $700 for them. They are in good shape and show a little wear and tear and have...

When I tried to start my Gen 1 today it did not make the noises that you hear when you turn on the ignition and would not crank at all. Had the neutral light and the head light and that was it. Headlight dimmed noticeably when I hit the starter button. Checked the voltage and got 13.3. Been...

Tried to post a screen capture but I gave up. The VMAX part is at 10:23 Found it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GecItqkYvTE

Rode today and every time I started it I heard a clunking sound. If it was a car I would say the starter solenoid was not fully engaging with the flywheel and is going out. Looked around on the forum and it looks like I have to pull the side covers off and inspect the starter clutch. Does it...

When I drove in this am the clutch was engaging when the lever was barely pulled in. As I got close to work it started engaging closer to full clutch lever pull. Hoping I make it home. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I did the CBR conversion on my last VMAX and I needed the turn signals and brake light combined on my second gen 1. The CBR is a nice solution but I had to find someone to weld up the inner fender for the setup I did. I wanted something this time that I didn't have to weld and this is what I...

Was thinking about getting the fatmax hard saddlebags and went to look at the site and it is gone. Is he out of business?

Bike is running bad and was doing the starter fluid trick and found the vboost boot was torn. Rubber seems thin on them, can you squeeze them in without disassembling the vboost assembly?

My 2000 is running badly, carb issues i think. I saw that sometimes the carbs don't seat in the boots properly and you get a vacuum leak. Put a hose on a propane torch to get the gas near the boots to see if the idle changed. It seem to change but fluctuating idle is part of my symptoms. So i...

As I was putting my exhaust back on I saw some rust on the bottom of the frame a few inches behind the sidestand. Can I just have a gusset plate welded over it? It is a 20yr old scooter I don't think I want to find a frame and swap it out. Included some snapshots. Thanks in advance.

Like the title says I replaced the coolant hoses on my 98 vmax as they appeared to be original and were pretty sketchy. Bought some made in China silicone hoses as they were much cheaper than oem. Seemed to go well but I saw a drip at the large hose at the bottom of the radiator where it goes...

Have a broken ear on one of my carbs. What years are compatible with the 98? Thanks in advance...

Clutch was slipping a little so I decided to replace disks. Ordered a Barnett Clutch Spring Conversion Kit and their friction and steel plates. Of course that was before I researched it and saw that that is not the way most folks go. Read this how to post...

Couldn't decide if this post should be under Carb or Engine heading so. I have a 1/2 inch hose that goes between the Air Box and a nipple in the center of the crankcase that I saw called a "crankcase breather hose". I need to replace it as it did not survive my last removal of it. The problem...

So my horn went out and I googled best motorcycle horn and picked a pair that should be loud. Came up with what I thought was a cool idea to mount em. But when I stood back to admire my work I think I wasted my Saturday.

This is the 3rd time this has happened. Took it to shop near me and they rebuilt all 4 carbs. Took it back when it happened the first time, but it quit leaking before I got it in and they did nothing. When it happened again They said it was bad fuel, showed me the dirty gas, told me to stop...

Have a 98 and the rear brake squeals. Bought some pads as they are cheap and took it apart. PO had 2 washers on the bolts between the caliper and the mounting points that shift the caliper seam toward the middle of the rotor, still needs another washer to get it centered. What is going on...

Bought 03-04 HONDA CBR600RR second hand coils on ebay with the harness for my '98. Soldered up the harness and crimped on insulated spade lugs for the connection. Just rode the bike and it is not running too well, low power and a little rough. Am guessing one of them is not wired up well or 1 of...

Wanted to do the COPS Mod. Got the COPs and the harness to mod but was wondering how folks are dealing the the rubber plug wire snubber that holds the plug wire firm. The COPs require a bigger hole. thought about just cutting it out but don't want to do trial and error on the only 4 I have...

Bad Post.. Sorry sorry for the double post
