Happy ending to '94 Max stuck float issue. Danny Urwin re-build my carbs. I un-installed the rack & installed the rack & now I can ride the bike until I get the carbs synced. The bang on carb. & "Shotgun process" did not correct the issue. Nice try, but figure on spending $430. including ship...

I may still be the "oldest VMAX rider" at 72. 1/16/40. I was unable to ride much since owning the '94, bought about 4 yrs. ago; as I was care giving to my wife, who passed 12-10-10. Now, I intend to ride again! I work out at our YMCA to be in shape to handle the MAX. If it starts to fall...

My '94 Max on first startup had a stuck float on one carb. Large amount of gas spewing out. I tried the easy bang on carb= no, "shotgun" procedure and that did not correct the issue. Removed the rack using the Haynes Manual & sent them to Danny Urwin (well known, respected VMAX Forum Memeber)...

Hi Danny, Thank u for posting the service manual download. Saved me $10. to order a download (or CD) from a vendor. I'll donate another $10.00 to VMAXforum.net "in your honor". Jim Masek (VMF "jamesg")

Update: I have a full explanation of the re-build services of DannyMax. I think I will remove them & send them off. Only one carb. is leaking (not fuel into exhaust) but draining down from the front left one; really pours out & down. I spent a lot of time on on the "shotgun" procedure, with no...

I'm a new member & already found tech. help Hi, I'm just 72 yrs. young. I was a member of the VMOA. Got a call form a member who was verifying that I really was that age. He was upset as he held the position of "oldest VMOA Member" still riding. I dropped the membership as I didn't need...

Hi, Another day & look at the issues. Gas comes out of the breather tubes for Carb #2 (front); # 1 rear & the other side carbs are OK. No gas in oil that I see thru the glass port. Gas does not come out of the exhaust pipe. Seems the gas poring down entered the pipe (I suppose but not...

Hi, I've read the Forum re. stuck floats & I attempted the following, with gas spilling first out of overflow tubes at carb., then corrected that area, then overflow into breather tubes, while all the time gas was flowing into the exhaust. No I didn't explode.:damn angry: I did the following...

Hi, I'll keep you informed. I'll add you as a Forum "buddy" so u receive the Group plans. I enjoyed a 35 mi. ride yesterday here on the Island. There are group rides in So. Ma. by contacting the Region Leader, go to the site link to contact him. He's asked me to ride with him last Fall on the...

There is one VMOA Member living within 2 hrs travel time (each way). So it's "apples & oranges"; geographic area makes a world of difference. As u may note, I have taken the initiative to form a local riders group, here on this Forum. VMOA member fee discourages membership, whereas this Forum...

Hi All, My bike runs Cobra. I really like the sound, because I can't afford a Ferrari. I've heard the Ferrari & this bike/pipes is that sound & appearance. So what if a few hp is lost (supposedly, but my carbs were tuned/synch. for these pipes), I seldom use all that V-Boost power anyway. Why...

Oh Hi Garrett, Sorry I opened the mail re. you wanting to be a "buddy" & not knowing who that handle was to be. of course, I will add u to the list. Jim

Hi Danny, There is a Ferry (SSA) park lot (not cheap); it is safe to leave stuff there. There is a bus (free) which takes stuff & passengers right to/from the ferry; then there is a luggage cart that goes onto the ferry. That's all handy for those camping out at the only campground. There are...

Hi, Thank u for your interest in a ride on this beautiful Island. Roads up Island are well paved for speed (I go 10-15 mph over), country lanes that twist & up/down hills; stone walls to the sides, over hanging tree limbs as a restriction on tree trimming. Truly New ENGLAND. Ferry: no...

OK, I donated. I agree that if most persons donate even $5.00 the amount will reach what Obama has raised. Ton$ of cash! I do not expect to be buying any parts from any vendor. My bike is running great & bought it with Corba pipes & Corbin seat. I bought a discounted Haynes Manual so as to...

Hi, I'm a new V-Max rider living on Martha's Vineyard (Cape Cod), who wants to contact other interested riders to ride the Vineyard! I know the roads here, places to stay, restaurants, etc. I'd be the contact person. I'm applying to be a Chapter Leader for VMOA, but you don't have to be a VMOA...

Hi, I'm a new V-Max owner & love my bike (1994). I sold a HD 883 XL Sportster & now enjoy the V-Max power, looks, performance (smooth, etc.). I got excited & joined VMOA ($30. cost) & then found this Forum, which I think may be even better than the VMOA. What is your opinion of becoming a...
