1994 Vmax

About 1 1/2 years ago I replaced my starter clutch. This was the first major work I've ever done to any motorcycle I've ever owned. With the help of this forum and Yukon Dave's write-up I was able to complete the task anss was happy with the result. I did use red locktite and peened the the...

I'm replacing my starter clutch again (it only lasted a year so I must have done something wrong) and was thinking that it would be a good time to replace the hex head bolt with stainless steel. Does anybody have a listing of the sizes and quantities ? Also does SS interact with the aluminum at...

I'm selling a few parts off my 94. The scoops are in good condition with minor scuffing on the front edge of one and some clear coat issues. I did my best to show everything in the pictures. Scoops: $100 + shipping Handlebar: $25 + shipping Turn Signals: 20 + shipping Send me a PM is...

I've finally gotten tired of my Cobras. While I still love the look and sound I miss the lost power. I'm thinking about getting some Delkevic slipons. I like the look of the 9" Ovals but would like to get some of the opinions and see some pictures of some of the other options. I may be selling...

My max (Thor) started having an issue today. Was getting ready for a ride, started it up without issue. Let it get warmed up while got my gear on, rolled it out of the garage an it stalled (in nuetral). I then hit the start button an got nothing. Cycled the key and hit start button and it...

My son got his first bike, a used 1997 suzuku katana 600. One of the things we did to get it ready for the road is to seal the gas tank (POR). Once we got everything back together we noticed a small gas leak coming from the drain where the sending unit to the fuel gauge is. I order new rubber...

Just read this an thought it was strange. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/commanding-general-of-dc-national-guard-to-be-removed-from-post/2017/01/13/725a0438-d99e-11e6-b8b2-cb5164beba6b_story.html?utm_term=.d1933eca6d0b

After putting it off for a year I finally decided to replace/repair my starter clutch. I've been reading Yukon Dave's post over an over again and ordered all the parts I need and just started this process. I'm at the point where I'm attempting to remove the fly wheel. I borrowed a harmonic...

My son finally got his first motorcycle. It's a 1997 Suzuki Katana 600F. It has seen better days but it was not very expensive and seems to run ok. To get it ready for the road we've put on a new rear tire, changed all the fluids and sync'd the carbs. In the process of all this we noticed that...

I feel the need to buy a cosmetic update for my Max. My budget is tight but I've narrowed my choice to 2 item. V-Stax or OTEC Painted Cylinder side covers. What do you think would be best ? If you have either of these on your Max, any picture would be helpful.

Has anybody used them ? Looking for some useful bling for Thor. I think the yellow would look cool. Plus the current hoses are over 20 years old. Let me know what you think. If you've you other colored hoses (Samco) some picture would be good. Thanks, Doug

From one dad to all the other dads (VMAX brothers) HAPPY FATHER'S DAY :clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:

Feeling the mod monkey on my back but having very little $ at my disposal I thought I'd replace the lollipop turn signals with smaller ones. I wanted to stick with incandescent lights to avoid the LED issues. Found some on ebay the other in the forum used (dual filament, 3 wire) and got them...

For some strange reason my oldest son (18 yrs old, junior in high-school) has decided he wants a motorcycle :ummm: (I have no idea where this idea came from). I told him he needs to wait until he's in college but think I'll cave before then. We are planning to have him take the MSF new rider...

When I got my max about a 1.5 years ago I also got a Speed and Strength textile jacket (Hi-Vis). It was nothing fancy but it had a zip out liner and armor for my elbows and a back pad. Even though it was considered a 3 season jacket I could wear it pretty much year round in GA. Yesterday I went...

I just added cobra slash cuts to my max (I know they rob power but I like the look and sound plus the price was right(thanks Dave)). I had to remove the center stand for the installation. Normally before I ride I let the bike warm up a bit on the center stand thinking the upright position would...

Does anybody use something like this ? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/28090/i/national-cycle-hand-deflectors I don't ride much in cold weather but I still like to take quick rides to fluids flowing (plus it's fun). While I can bundle up my fingers still get cold. I have winter...

Has anybody ever been here ? Thinking about a road trip next year (only a few hours away). http://www.barbermuseum.org/

The last few time I've ridden my Max I noticed a new noise and I have to idea what it could be. I wear hearing aids so I make a recording with my phone (in my pocket) as I rode. From a stop I accelerate to about 65 and hold it there. The noise starts out low in pitch the gets higher with speed...
