    Thinking of selling my Max....

    yup, started having the thought today..... here's why... My, now ex, wife and I have separated, I had enough of her shit and told her to leave. She's moving to NFLD in September, which leaves me with a house, mortgage all the bills.... but most importantly, 3 of my kids (we have 4). I realized...

    Front Brakes

    So my bike is all back together and ready to roll, the only thing stopping me right now is front brakes.... they barely grab. Let me start from the beginning. Calipers were removed, lines left hanging on the bike, and placed in a box with other parts. Without thinking :bang head: I...

    Can't shift from 2nd to neutral or first...

    Ok, so after many, many, many, many dollars and hours I was prepping to go for a test flight Saturday. First ride since my accident last August. I had installed the shifter and was installing the peg bracket when I realized that when we fabricated and welded on a new mount to the frame, we must...

    High Idle - Thottle Cables?

    So I buttoned up the motor last night, new Orings on the elbow and the screw for the stator (timing hole)... anyway I filled coolant and oil, replaced filter (not in that order :rofl_200:) and fired the bike up. I still have a high idle. I can bring the idle down by twisting the throttle...

    More Questions - spring, cable routing, O-Ring...

    OK.... I took my stooooopid pill.... Please see pic below, anyone know where it attaches too (the spring)? Please dumb it down for me.... It's the rear brake lever, I have the spring attached (Assumingly correct) from the lever to the light indicator, but I'm not sure on the placement of the...

    Mounting Engine Guards

    Meant to ask this earlier, so my apologies... I picked up a set of Engine Guards yesterday (thanks Toolman!), anyone know what size bolts/nuts I need to pick up to mount them? Not sure that it matters, but my motor mounts are stock.

    Couple questions

    A couple questions for the group: - What type/brand of grease is recommended for the axles? Front and rear. I'm going to have both wheels off this week, so figure I might as well lube them up! - I need to swap my rotors (both front and rear) over to new wheels, I've read from different...

    Stainless Bolts

    Anyone order from http://www.mikesayers.com/vmax/screws.htm lately? I was going to place an order but thought I would ask the question first... Is Morley an option? What's the better option? I'm not looking to do all the bolts, but carbs and master cylinder covers for sure. Not sure what else...

    Looking for parts....

    Ok guys, so I wrecked my bike (and my leg!) on August 2nd.... I have an almost complete parts list and some ballpark prices from Morley. If I have to go that route then so be it. My challenge is funds. Accident was my fault and I only carry Fire & Theft on our bikes, so the repairs are mine to...

    Shifter fell off

    So I went out for a ride tonight, pulled away from a light, went to shift into 2nd and all I found with my foot was air... looked down, shifter was hanging. Checked traffic, and pulled off the road, dismounted and quickly realized that the circlip (sp?) was missing. I put the shifter back on the...

    Plug Wires - Time to ask the dum dum Questions...

    Ok, time to ask a couple questions.... I've never changed plug wires before and although it's a simple task I do have a couple questions. My motive for changing the wires is to see if it helps with the stumble I experience when the bike is hot and @ idle or low RPM (under 2K) Coils, caps and...
