    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Picked up a too good to pass deal on a max last week that ran like a 250 rebel. it had obviously been in storage for quite some time. flushed the fuel tank,changed the oil and filter,vboost wasnt working but it is now and air filter was plugged up with mud dobber nests. new filter came in today...

    01 VERY hard start issue

    took it for a short ride. ran it through the gears aggressively and did some normal cruising as well. took it back to the house and parked it. couple hours later half choke and she fired right up. let it run for a bit then shut it down and pulled the plugs and all looked well. btw wasn't...

    01 VERY hard start issue

    Ok fixed the choke so it wouldn't pull off, still wouldn't fire up. Pulled plugs again, all scooted up. Cleaned them again and the hooker fired right up and choke didn't pull off. So I guess were making progress

    01 VERY hard start issue

    Is it safe to use the 50 amp jump start function some battery chargers have on a bike?

    01 VERY hard start issue

    theres not enough tension to hold itself in its place. everything to do with the choke is hooked up (nothing came disconnected) so just going to shim it with a thin washer to increase the tension some. yes im using the choke but now that I know its pulling off I have to physically hold it in...

    01 VERY hard start issue

    it ran like a stock vmax should run. idled smooth, started easy. I didn't ride it but the owner isn't the best with manual chokes and what not. he had no issues getting it to fire up and was stoked about how much better it ran after the carbs were gone through. I did notice the choke was pulling...

    01 VERY hard start issue

    Is there a walk though on doing that? im mechanically inclined just haven't done much work on bikes ( my 05 hasn't had any issues that warrant any troubleshooting like this) im very ignorant when it comes to where the motorcycle specific things are mounted and what not. where to check the...

    01 VERY hard start issue

    little background, brother in law bought his 01 vmax last year and it had ran like dog piss ever since I first test rode it. ( after he bought it of course) well early winter he took it in to have the carbs gone through and the guy found that the jets were in backwards? well anyway he rode it up...

    low rpm/throttle intermittant miss

    unfortunately the battery was only a few months old too and of course cant find the receipt

    low rpm/throttle intermittant miss

    I have a sync tool and will only take a few minutes to check it so I will. however I checked the charger this morning and it was still charging...should have shut off long ago. even though it starts with no issues im thinking the culprit is the battery.

    low rpm/throttle intermittant miss

    Well, battery was a cup low on water. Stuck trickle charger on it and if battery is charged it shuts off after 10 minutes. 20 minutes later still charging.... Hopefully I found the culprit

    low rpm/throttle intermittant miss

    ill jump right on that when I get home from work today. hadn't even thought about that being a possibility. thank you. keep the ideas coming folks with my track record nothing ever is an easy fix haha

    low rpm/throttle intermittant miss

    a little back ground. I have an 05 vmax roughly 30k miles. a couple years ago I did the cops mod and all has been well. well I have a nerve issue that will cause loss of strength on my leg ( totally random when it does it) anyway it happened the other day when backing the bike out of a friends...

    dont know to be honest, it was late when i saw it last night so i didnt dig into it. i plan to take a closer look tonight after work.

    look what i found...

    well off and on ive had some minor issues with the bike running funky over the last couple years. nothing major but it would start acting like it had a dead cylinder every once in a while but only lasted a few minutes, then clear up. ( has only done it a couple times. no more than 3 times over 2...
