    Was riding home from work tonight, all was well. until total power loss... All power, no lights, no nothing, engine died... Turn key on nothing happens... Any idea what this could be...? Thank you...

    Click Click WT#?

    I am really concerned... I was getting on the highway earlier and not sure what gear I was in at the time... Bike was in gear and I grabbed a handful of throttle ... The bike starts to go but then I hear CLICK, then a sudden power loss to rear wheel (0.3-0.4 seconds) then power resumes then...

    Front Coils

    Hey Guys, How difficult is it to get to the front coils? It looks like a nightmare... I have limited space to work on the bike, mainly on the street... This doesn't lend itself well to anything too complicated and my motorcycle mechanic skill level isn't exactly an A+... I was...

    Rear Wheel Access/Removal

    Hey guys, I need to change the rear tire... This bike has a non stock exhaust (Cobra 4-4) and a non stock wheel... Myself and a couple of friends tried to find a way to get the rear wheel off the ground, but without a center stand we've had no luck so far... Anyone have experience doing...

    Something is amiss

    Trying to diagnose this problem... Cylinder number 4 I think? Right side, rear...is missing... At idle it fires about 1 in 4 or so, it varies quite a bit and then tends to fire regularly after RPMs get over 2,800... Occasionally that cylinder will stop firing completely, this can last from a...

    Can anyone identify this?

    I assume this is some kind of a remote power access plug... I just discovered this the other day when I was looking at the bike... I assume this is not stock but I don't recognize the plug type perhaps it's for a specific purpose can anyone tell me what it is or what it connects to?

    Sabotage?

    Okay well, sometimes I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone... Which I'm watching right now... The old one from, in the case of this episode, December 1959.... But here's what happened.... Two weeks ago the starter clutch failed to turn over and start the bike. It had always...

    Cold Starting

    Well the temps are super low here....and Max has been having trouble starting...due to the thickened oil stopping the starter clutch from engaging.... Question: Would it be safe to use a 50/50 mix of 10 weight oil with 5 weight oil? Someone suggested that 10 weight is the lowest weight...

    Charging

    Haven't had this bike too long so forgive the noob question please.... Where is the easiest, fastest place to: A. Get a quick jump start connection... B. Get easy access for charging... On my other bikes I could get cables on the bike in seconds... With this bike it doesn't look so easy...

    Phase two: Exhaust and Carbs

    It'll be awhile before I get around to doing the carbs and exhaust, but I figure I'll post this now since I just learned what I have... I was going through the giant binder that came with my, now two month old 1993, Max... I discovered this jet kit was installed some time ago along with the...

    suggestions for windscreen

    Hey all, I was about to grab a windscreen and realized that my setup doesn't look very standard at least as far as most bikes go.... The location of the bars, headlight and turn signals is just different from what I can see.... So, I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions for...

    Getting to know my V-Boost

    Just dumb noob questions here from a new owner... I just took the bike on a 150 mile ride and had lots of chances to open her up here and there... First thing I noticed is the speed limit is too low and the number of cars and trucks is too high... :biglaugh: But I finally am getting in...

    Finicky 2nd Gear

    Not sure if it's me or if this is some known problem, like the segment thing I read about somewhere else... I am missing 2nd gear shifts like crazy and it's getting annoying... My other bike, a CB900 also has a similar issue which I never expected to appear on the Max... The shifter is a...

    Rear Offset

    I understand that the rear wheel is supposed to be offset.... I have hear amounts like 1cm? On my new '93 the offset appears to be rather large...although I have not measured it yet... The wear on the rear appears to be clearly way off to the side... The wheels on the bike are 18's and...

    Fork Boots

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this question.... Does anyone know if anyone makes fork boots for the v-max 1200s? The design appears to limit where boots would attach to... I'm about to do seals and would like to get some boots on her... Also, if anyone might have any...

    Miles Till Reserve

    Well, I didn't see a thread on mileage so I thought I'd share mine here and see what's horrible or great ... Just got this bike and I had a chance to get some mileage numbers, I seem to be getting around 70 miles until I need to go to Reserve.... I haven't seen that many posts on miles but...

    Sudden Stalling

    Well, I was out today on the bike and for the first time she just died... It happened twice, I noticed before that a kind of brief miss as if the ignition stopped working every so often but only for a half a second while idling but not long enough to stall the engine, it became more of a miss...

    Ignition On

    Okay, so never having owned or rode a V-Max before I did some research first... My understanding is that when you turn on the ignition -- turn the key on -- that you should hear the servo cycle...with a clear whining sound... What I am hearing is not that sound.... Sometimes it clicks...

    Looking for a rear rack and/or bracket

    Looking for either a rear luggage rack or rear luggage mount bracket in order to mount a trunk that I have.... Thanks.

    Just joined the club...

    Hi all.... Just got my first V-Max... A 1993 blonde.... Sounds hot.... I was surprised to find out that she has an 18" rear wheel, apparently at one time had T-Boost installed, although I don't know if it is connected now and a few other things that make her slightly unusual...Corbin...
