Yea, won't start. Its the gas. It sat for 6-8 months. Could have sworn I used ethanol free. Tank is 1/4 full, and rusting. I'm seeing surface rust in the throat of the tank and at the bottom. Bike cranks over, doesn't fire. Starter fluid will get it running and will only stay running on...

Headlight went out. Purchased another LED bulb. Plugged it in, no power going to it. Can someone please tell me the steps to take to rectify this problem?

Acquired a half helmet some time ago. I like it because it is a half helmet, but the problem is that my head doesn't sit deep enough into the helmet. Is it common place to hollow out a helmet? The helmet innards are a styrofoam core, but mesh lines the core, with no sign that it can be...

Been interested in the 14r, and would like to know of Kawasaki resolved the cylinder 3 issue in their 2nd gens. Also would like to know what are the first pre-maintanance mods that owners are doing. Thank you

I wanted to come here to ask if it is possible and a logical area to install nitrous nozzles in the service ports of a Vmax. Thank you,

Ran into a low battery voltage not too long ago. Reason; putting around, using the Vmax like a scooter, and not like God intended. I honestly see myself staying more local and off the HWY, so low rpms are what I am envisioning in the future. So I was wondering if there is an option to allow...

Lately, noticed my starter not cranking the engine over. It catches, but nothing. At first I thought that maybe my battery terminals may have gotten loose, but that is not the case. The other day I had to rock the bike back and fourth in 1st to get the engine to turn over and got the starter...

Selling my 2003 Vmax diff. About 20K on it. Will ship. Pick up available in Palm Beach, Fla. $100

Go to your photos. Tap on the magnifying glass. Type: "Fire" . What does it reveal? This is for those that don't tag their photos. Pretty freaky, huh.

I had to ask this question here. When I park my bike on an incline, I always leave it in gear. I noticed that, while in gear, when I pull in the clutch it takes a solid second for the clutch to disengage, then for the bike to begin to roll back. Is this normal?

Reefapalooza is this weekend. Wanted to see if any South Fla riders would be interested in a ride up and back the same day. http://www.reefapaloozashow.net/orlando/

Luckly wasn't too far from home; choked it back. Anyone got a write up on replacing the throttle cable? What particular part do I need? Any other maintenance I should do while I'm in there?

Tire pressure 40psi. I take turns to the point that I'm scraping the kickstand. Lowered 1" internally.

Yesterday noticed the front tire skipping on the most moderate turns and curves. Pulled over, pumped the handlebars and noticed my sidewall flexing alot more than it should. Called it a night and headed home. Parked it and pumped it to 40psi, and went to bed. Woke up in the morn, and checked...

The new formulation includes refined Leprechaun pee, the finest of Santa Clause pubes, and the softest grade of dragon testicles for your engine...

Well my results came back from Blackstone. This is the second oil analysis. The first one contained the oil from the PO, and could only assume it was Yamalube. The oil results from the 1st screening indicated alot of wear and silicon (bad or loose air filter) in the oil. Chaulked it up to...

Figured I'd ask here, as I've asked just about everywhere else. I'm looking for private hunting land in Florida. Looking to bag hogs mainly, but deer is also a good option. If you have or know anyone that has land in Fla, that is looking to get rid of pests, shoot me a PM. Many thanks in...

Checked fuses, all good, even swapped swapped fuses. Checked for any voltage coming from the headlight plug; nothing. Ideas?

Noticed the other day that I developed play in my throttle; 1/4 turn before any engagement. Yesterday I pegged the throttle and it tightened up. So much so, that now sticks. What I also noticed now is that I do not believe that my throttle is opening up all the way. What should I look for to...

Wanted to see if anyone on here would be interested in getting an oil analysis done on their Vmax or vehicle. Blackstone Labs has bulk prepaid deals; 6 samples done for $22, vs the $28 for single samples. I currently have 2 samples that need to go out, but was thinking if anyone would be...
