    85 Vmax

    I have a 1985 Vmax that I want to sell. I rode it for three years but it has been sitting the last two summers in my basement due to an electrical/charging problem I didn't have time to fix and it is presently not running. Anyone have a general idea of its value as it is? Thx.

    center stand

    I have an 85 max that lacks the center stand, and there is a new center stand from a 2001 on ebay for 50.00. Does anyone know if that year will fit my 85, and is 50.00 too expensive? Thanks.

    How is this possible?

    I went out for a ride today, bike seemed to be running really good. Then I stopped and parked for about 15 minutes, came back out and saw a small puddle of gas under the cross-pipe section of the exhaust, and gas seemed to be dripping somewhere from underneath the bike around that exhaust...

    Fuel Pump

    Out riding today and pulled up to a stop light. Bike is idling fine and when the light turns, I proceed through the light, only to have the bike choke when I give throttle. I pull off the side of the road, the bike will idle but die when throttle applied. Turn the bike off and let it cool for a...

    Starting Problems

    OK, so this past fall the 85 max was running poorly, backfiring some, hesitating, so I decided to do some winter maintenance. Took the 4-1 Holeshot off (put stock pipes with aftermarket cans), removed the gas tank (which was full of rust, so I did the Por15 treatment on it), replaced the gas...

    exhaust question

    Does anyone know what holds the OEM back down pipes to the exhaust port? I am missing whatever holds them on, and I need to find a set of what ever it is that holds them on. Thanks for any help.

    Tank rust

    So I removed the gas tank the other day on my 85, and I had a ton of rust in the bottom (gonna use a POR15 kit to seal it). Thinking about the effect this might have on the carbs (which were rebuilt in the last two years), would the shotgun be enough of a clean? It has been backfiring and...

    Plug wires

    I'm looking to replace plug wires and saw some 8mm Taylor wires on ebay. Anyone have experience with these? Does the forum recommend wires for the max?

    Does anyone know if the carbs off a 98 will work on an 85?

    Carb question

    When I am sitting at a light on my 85, I get a pretty significant gas smell and my exhaust seems very rich to me, like some of the gas is not completely burning. If I rev it up, I get a slight greyish smoke which again, smells like unburnt gas. Does this sound like a mixture issue? If the carbs...

    Crimp fix

    OK, I'm an idiot, but I can't find the "crimp fix" diy. Where is that sucker on the forum?

    Fuel pump sound

    I noticed on the youtube video, "The Vmax Thrill" when the ignition is turned on, the fuel pump cycles for what seems like only half a second, while in comparison, my 85 fuel pump cycles for at least a couple of seconds and the "ticking" sound of the pump seems much slower than the VM in the...
