Just went to start up the Max this morning to go for a "mind clearing"ride after 2 months of sitting in the garage MAx wouldnt start. Im a little bumbed about that but will start checking things out. What has me puzzled is the Clutch doesnt seem to be engaging when I pull the lever...

I am going to use my Morgan Carbtune Pro for the first time. I read that I should set up the tool first on a cold engine, then choke and warm up the bike a bit then start the process after no choke is needed. Would it be ok to go for a ride around the block to warm it up a little before I...

I had a rattle on the plate that covered the end of my stock pipes...or so I thought stock. The bike had several mods when I bought it, so working on it without the history was always going to be a gamble. See attached pics. The rivets were loose causing an annoying rattle. Plan: - Drill...

I finally purchased my Vmax after over 20 years since I saw my first one, thanks to the help of this forum. I bought a '92 that has some customization. I plan to do some "tinkering" although I am far from a mechanic, I have always been mechanically inclined. I have never purchaed tools (have...

For those of you who responed to my questions on the 1992 max I was looking at buying ( the one with all those blue wires?), I decided not to buy based on all the info that was given. I am please to say that another came up for sale yesterday, 2002 model, that has had some customization, and I...

There is a 1992 Vmax for sale that has no original papers and is in fairly good condition and only 22000km. Im a little worried about buying a 16 yr old bike with no history. Especially a bike as powerful as the VMAX. I also read that post 1993 is better due to the fork problem. How do I...
