    Has anyone found a SILENT FUEL PUMP?

    HI. I know it's normal for Gen I Vmax fuel pumps to click, right? I've noticed that clicking is loud enough to hear while idling at stoplights and it annoys me. Then again, most things annoy me. Seriously, has anyone found a replacement pump that is silent or near-silent? Thanks, guys. Paul

    Horn, blinkers and brake light: DEAD!

    First, I must admit that I HAVE been monkeying with the wiring on my '88 Vmax. Mostly detailing the wiring looms while cleaning and touching up the frame.

    Hi Gang, When the throttle plates (butterfly valves) are completely CLOSED, should they completely cover those three teeny bypass holes in the upper carb bore? Or should 1 or more holes still be uncovered by the edge of the butterfly? Thanks in advance, Paul

    MYSTERY Carb Deposits

    Hi Folks, Has anyone ever seen carb deposits like the ones in this photo? I've rebuilt many carbs over the years but have never seen these chalky, yellowish powdery chunks of mystery crap. History: -- When I first tore down my carbs about four months ago, they had the usual brownish...

    '88 V-Max starts only with choke, revs high for 1 second, then dies.

    Hi folks -- The short version of my problem is in the headline: “88 VMAX starts only with choke, revs high for 1 second, then dies.” I bought a 1988 VMX12 which had been sitting for years. On the day I looked at the bike, it fired right up using starter fluid. So I bought it, knowing it...
