    dead Vmax 07

    ok this is the second time she left me stranded and was hoping for some help. I turn the key, power on and no power. battery fully charged and the battery is only a year old. Last time I pulled the battery put it on the charger only to find it fully charged, put it back in and she fired right up.

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    It happened so fast, but I was in 4th at about 50MPH hit the gas to pass at about 70 and didn't hit 5th until after I passed and slowed back down to about 60. Can't believe this. I bet I've only broke 100mph 2-3 times on this bike, I really baby it.

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    I was going under 5k when I was behind a truck, went to pass and didn't have time to look down. It was quick but my speed was under 70 and I think I was 2nd from last gear.

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    Now at dealers. My warranty should be close to up but due to an error the dealer didn't register warranty till last Jan. Will the change the dates when they notice the error? Either my warranty is up or close. They said I was under warranty but questioned the date. They said dealer must have...

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    I was in second to last gear and passed a truck at maybe 70 MPH tops never noticed the tach as I was up and down so fast , I continued to ride about 20 miles and started to notice a lack of power and the exhaust sounded way different. I pulled into a gas station and noticed the bike could barely...

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Recall wasn't for all 07's it was for certain Vin numbers. I'm guessing that the motors were assembled incorrectly for only a period of time.

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Ok, I probably was taking this a bit too far calling it a lemon. I got her back today in great shape for having the engine out to change the head gaskets. Bike runs great. Well it even seems a bit snappier than before, maybe because I was losing compression with the leak. I'm still pissed that I...

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Not to mention all my Harley co-workers are giving me 7 weeks of S**T over this, even though we know how all that could be settled.

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    ok.. looks like not a lemon. Only thing the lawyer could get me is compensation for time lost and if so they get 1/3. Well all said and done I do like my dealer even though they put a few scratches on my scoops (scrapped the plastic coating from taking air box cover on and off.) The grease...

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Don't know if anyone can help but does anyone know anything about the New York state lemon law? This is what has been happening with my bike. I have a 2007 Vmax that I bought in PA with only 4 miles on her, it was fresh out of the crate. After about 1900 miles on her I noticed some coolant on...

    Strange Oil Leak

    Not sure it's oil. Now looks more like coolant and it looks like it's coming from the head gasket. When the bike is hot you can see it bubbling a tiny bit around the gasket below the cylinder. I can't win. If this is the case they have to pull the motor right? At least it's under warranty.
