Used rotors came off a 96. I learned here (the search button is your friend) that the front rotors were enlarged round about 92-93. Bike is apart, new rotors on order. Upon further observation, it became pretty apparent that the rotors are not interchangeable.

I replaced a warped rear about 6 months ago. Now, I have a warped front rotor. Bars shake during freeway on ramp launch, I can no longer take my hands off the bars and coast. I can spin the front tire and clearly ID offending rotor. I have fresh pads, fork seals, and head bearings...

I am working in California but live in Philomath. I'll be home this weekend (9/30-10/2). I will PM my number. would you please call me Rick

The juvenile in me is thinking along these lines too. I may very well take you up on this. A number of respected adults recommended I not install a header due to the db increase/freeway speed "drone". I had 4into1s on my FJs for years. We will see how blown out the packing is on my ebay...

I had pulled the bulb and checked continuity. I even pulled it a second time to clean the socket. I did your simple ignition test this morning. Yep, light works. Good tip, thanks. Rick

I took a couple long rides over the weekend. I bought a one gallon jerry can and strapped it to the seat. I went 97 miles without running out. I looked into the tank with the flashlight sawgas enough for fumes. I am pretty confident the issue is the reserve sensor or circuit. (well...

I was referring to the Hindle 4 into 1 on eBay and I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it. My stock muffler, once it's off, is not going back on without repair. The manhole cover thing just blows my mind. I was only going 25 or so and slightly rolling on it a bit. Kinda felt like...

Funny you say that. I have always ridden all my bikes as they came. Gas, oil, filters, tires, chains. I am facing a philosophical dilemma now. The exhaust on this bike is bent going into the collector/muffler. Bike was probably slid on the left side and smacked the rear cylinder...

Howdy, This is Rick, and I am from Oregon. I am working in Northern California and needed a commuter bike. I was looking for a dual purpose XT or XL600, but discovered them sought after and expensive here. For less money, I got a Vmax. Besides, I always wanted one. 1990 with 55k 2grand I...

I had a slight delay going to get fuel. I took off to run to the gas station, and I noticed the neighbor was working on his house so I pulled into his driveway for a chat. When I went to leave, I turned the key and nothing happened. I guess the max wanted me to push her again. This time it...

No worries bout hijacking blaxmax, Any discussion about the reserve operation is welcome. I need a reserve and you guys are sending me in the right direction. BTW.. someday I will explain Hairball in the lounge. It is not a cat thing.

Yep, I have always had reserve switch set to on and had been waiting to see the reserve light. I have a fresh can of electro-contact cleaner. The fuel pump seems to be working fine, created nice vacuum on the supply side. The filter is ok, but should be cheap, and golly, easy to swap!

Yeah it was a fuel issue. There comes a time when humility is the best path. The fuel pump seemed to be running longer then it should. I pulled the fuel filter to blow it out backwards, and hmmm, no gas. Flashlight inspection of the tank level revealed a bone dry condition. Insert fuel and...

I figure this is a fuel issue, so I'll post here. Bought it a week ago, test ride went fine. 1990 max with 56k (should be Ca but I do not know). Owner told me that the fuel cap must be in the proper orientation or the bike will “vapor lock” and quit. Topped the fuel off, got on the...
