I have what sounds like a vacuum leak on idle (fssst), low RPM and when engaging the clutch. It's intermittent and does not happen during acceleration or cruising. Although, it doesn't come close to stalling, It feels like a misfire. I cant pin point it yet. Thoughts? Catching up on 40k...

Just a thanks to those who helped out. Mityvac made the job easy. Changed front and rear brake fluid as well. Changed oil and filter, topped off coolant.. Think I'm good for a minute..

Pretty entertaining dude! I ordered a Mityvac. Funny thing is, I'm old enough to remember Fizzies, I’m probably still suffering side effects from the chemtrails they left in me. And by the way, I live on Maui, I heard "Tiny Bubbles" more than I'll admit to (RIP ~ Don Ho) -- Mahalo

Done, its on the way!

10-4 ~ Cant argue with any of that. Appreciate it.

I saw a video of bleeding the system at the top bolt (at the master) with lots of towels, just took a few minutes. Is that not doable on this 2nd gen?

Yep, they are pretty cheap, got one coming. Do you have any tips on replacing the fluid/bleeding? Thanks

09' Vmax ~ I attempted to change out my worn clutch lever and got a unexpected surprise. Removed the lever and the bushing separated from the pushrod, the pushrod popped out. I don't even know how this was still functioning, it had to be on one of its last shifts! So much for the 15 minute...

I appreciate the help. Less than 3 weeks, I had her back on the road.. Good to go....

Hey Sean, do I Lube the Throttle cable?

I hear ya, all good points.. I looked at trackers for the first time yesterday, I see they require a subscription (the ones I checked out anyways), what a racket they got going there! I successfully spliced the meter loom today. Found throttle cable on Ebay.. Thanks bro..

Update: I reconnected the meter control gauges this morn. Ordering the parts today for the throttle cable, etc. Found a new throttle cable on Ebay!! Working on other Japan BO parts..

Started Disassembly. I had just painted the scoops 2 months ago. But, have never removed this many components. I was going to price out and check availability on parts. Are you able to check for the meter switch, and do you possibly have the throttle cable?

I removed headlight hardware and traced up to the Meter Control switch. The new switch should be wired with the male coupler, that's the good news, getting to the mounting screws looks like a bear!!

Yeah, looks like I have my work cut out for me. Thanks for taking the time to go through all that. I appreciate the harness offer one2dmax, I might take you up on it. Splicing if at all possible is my thought. I don't see the other end of the cut loom. Check out this white connector, to me...

Thanks for the manual.. Tweakers, I think they pulled the loom thinking in was ignition, the wires were twisted together.

Thanks man, so many questions: I recovered it 50 yards from my place, I actually was making a police report when I saw it down the street! Amateur's for sure. But, how did they know to bring the right size wrench and why did they remove the cable assy, and then cut it! They took the grip and...

The bad news: my 2009 Vmax was stolen last night. The good news: I got it back today. (Still feel sick) Can you tell me what’s all involved in replacing the throttle cable Assy/grips etc? (see pics) How I found it.................. . The way it was with end bar mirror They also cut...
