There were some very small depostis (black flecks) in the fuel filter but the rust in the tank is very small. i put a gallon of super in it but there was only about a quart of gas in it so i left it in there. The front left cylinder plug did come out a little wet. and thats on the side with the...
Ok, guys. I am not the worlds greatest mechanic but i'm learning. Here's my problem.
It started with my bike sitting for about 6 months without running. it's a 2005 max.
When i turned it, it started pretty easily with about 2-3 cranks. However, when i started riding it had little to no power...
Yeah, my gixxer used to have that problem. The oil would drain from the front of the engine when i would ride one out for a while. Or so i found out through a forum. You would think they would have a little better oil pick up in a sport bike. The max however, I can understand. Ok, well i rode it...
Ok, so stupid. Controlled, but stupid. I pulled out pretty hard tonight at a stop light. I burned almost all the way through 1st. When i hit second.. i pulled the front tire about 2' off the ground for about 30 to 50 feet. When i came back down, It was kinda hard. I didnt feel any metal to metal...
Ok so i got my battery up and going after a full night of charging. I started taking apart the wiring harness tape to find the crimp underneath and i noticed there are two fine stress cracks on the underside of my coils under the seat. They are not deep just white cracks. I will post pics later...
Well, I left it on a trickle last night and it started up fine today. Rode it back to work at lunch and around town for a couple of errands... started up every time like nothing was ever wrong. I am going to go in and fix the wire crimp problem tonight, and i'm gonna pick up a tender tonight...
Take a look at Utah. 13-0 destroyed alabama in the sugar bowl! They were not even considered for the national title. I mean i know they probably would not have won the title game. but whos to say they COULDNT??? Crazier things have happened......
Ok, so i charged the battery on a 2-amp slow charge for like 5 hours and the charger showed fully charged. I went and rode the bike for about 20 minutes, then when i got back to my garage i killed it and tried to start it back up. The battery was dead. I took a potential on the battery with no...
Hey Everyone, I am a new Vmax owner. got a 2005. the battery that was in the bike was the stock battery and was going dead. I replaced it a week ago and everything was going fine until i tried to start it about an hour ago. The thing was so dead, my lights wouldnt even come on. i checked it with...
I am so far the only Vmax rider in Corpus Christi that i know of. I am looking to find some people to ride with but dont care for the harley crowd all that much. Harleys are ok.... just not the typical crowd.... Let me know if you are in the area and we can hook up.:punk:
