I have looked through the forum and found it difficult to search and consolidate the postings on 'Engine Noise'. Maybe this should have its own thread? Anyway, my 1988 V-max has 129,000kms on it and has been running like a clock until this weekend. Went away this weekend and when the bike was...

There may be info on this somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to get oem paint for the vmax body kits? Are there paint codes somewhere that will allow colour matching? I ride an 88 canadian import that is blue but appears to have a purple hue in some light. How do I match...

WTFIT:ummm: I have been rebuilding/repainting my 1988 Canadian import. While trying to isolate a vboost problem I found this unidentifiable component lashed into the wiring harness. It connectes to the green wire and the blue/white wire. Both these wires have multiple reconnections to other...

Upon removal of the middle gear side cover I've discovered the cause of a noise in the gear box. I recovered a piece of a broken gear tooth from either the middle drive shaft gear or the middle pinion gear. So now it's time to get into the guts of this engine. I would appreciate a quick how to...

Can anyone tell me if the brake and clutch master cylinders are the same for all model 1985 through to 2007:ummm: Were there any changes between countries:ummm:

Are the differentials from 1985 to 2007 v-max models interchangeable? The reason I ask is that the external castings on the diff housing i.e. the 'pumpkin' changed at about the time the front forks were upgraded. Later housings are more robust (though some have casting floors). So, Can you...

Anybody know how I can do a static test of the VBoost unit? i.e. How can I make sure that my V-boost unit is; a) Working at all b) Opening when it should c) Correctly adjusted Because this is dependent upon d) Getting a correct vacumm reading from the V-Boost Sensor and e) Getting an...

I want to chrome my master cylinders. If I chrome the masters I will have to strip them down to the shell. That means removing the fluid level sight windows and installing new ones. The fluid level sight windows on the front of the master cylinders are a press fit so I should be able to...

I had a request to post pics of the Pegasus fork brace fitted to my '88 max. This shows the brace fitted with a 17" rim, so the brace has the lower spacers to bring the mudguard close to the tyre. So here you go.

If there is one thing motorcyclists have in common it's a passionate appreciation of freedom and independence. That is THE essential part of you that is expressed through riding. It's why you would rather get wet, cold, hot, sore and gravel rash before you would ride in a cage. IF you believe...

This can't be real. Can it???? The whole story sounds retarded. June 10, 2009 01:53pm A YOUNG boy is still "barking" for his dog to come home after police tasered, then shot dead, the family pet on their...

Whether you believe GM's demise was justified or not, (and everyone will have their own theory of cause and effect) I am blown away by they way the vultures carved up the cash on GM's carcass. Once again the banks walk away with all of 'their' cash and everyone else loses. Didn't the bank's...

How many of you use the ethanol blend fuels? Some of us ride 20+ year old bikes with materials that were developed with technology and understanding that is definitely last generation, particularly plastics and plasticized rubber. Have a read of this article copied in full below and sourced...

I've just finished re-reading a thread in this forum titled 'Watch those Mirrors'. If you haven't read it, do it now. I was going to post this little story in that thread but; 1) I thought it might get lost, and 2) This thread should provoke some interesting discussion. How many of you have...
