    1994 V-Max 4-Sale Cheap!

    As some of you might know from this thread ( http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1398 ) , my bike experienced a loss of power and I don't know what the crap happened. I guess I'm going to sell it the way it sets. It may not be a big deal to fix, but the shops around here want $70hr labor...

    I broke down today!

    I guess I'm going to sell it the way it sets. It may not be a big deal to fix, but the shops around here want $70hr labor and say they don't have time this summer to tear into it. I called both Yamaha dealers and a couple of local bike shops. If anybody is interested. It's 4 sale. It ran...

    I broke down today!

    Installed the new plugs/wires, the bike starts quicker and idles better, but still sounds like it's missing a little bit and the no power issue and engine chatter is still there. Nothing really changed :confused2: I'm no mechanic, unfortunately, so I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer and...

    I'm a traitor

    Congrats. I've drooled over that very bike many times. IMHO, that's the best sport touring bike made.

    Unfortunately not, I just received the new plugs/plug wires in the mail today and I've not even tried those yet. I'll install those and see what happens. I'll keep posted.

    Eureka Springs ride?

    Dude, I would go in a heartbeat, I'm originally from the Branson, Mo area and spent alot of time in Eureka Springs, know that area by heart. But my bike is in pieces, not working and my Mo & Fa in-law are coming to visit that weekend:bang head:

    I broke down today!

    Bought a manual and went ahead and ordered high performance NGK plug wires and plugs today. I checked the compression with a meter and it looks about normal for a 13yr old bike with 29,000 miles. Talked to our head auto mechanic at work today and explained to him what had happened. He does...

    Seafoam question...

    I use it in my Land Rover and Intrepid, adding it to the oil and gas. I've never used it in a bike. I'd think adding some to the gas is a good idea, but I wouldn't add it to the oil, your clutch might start slipping or something weird. Just my 2cents.

    I broke down today!

    I've been out of town since Thursday and I'm back. Just now read the posts. I appreciate everybody's help. I'll take a look at the header pipes too. I forgot to mention in my first post. I had been riding the bike rather hard most of the day. When this actually happened was when we were...

    I broke down today!

    As instructed, I pulled the plug wire off each plug, one at a time, starting the engine after each 1, to see if I notice a difference. The engine seems to idle smooth when the front 2 and right rear plug wires are attached, but not when the left rear plug wire is attached. Something's up with...

    I broke down today!

    After I disconnected that coil, I did take it for a ride up the road, and the chattering like something was loose, was still there:bang head: Because of that, now I really don't know what to look for. I just don't want to take it to the bike shop and get charged a buttload of money for them to...

    I broke down today!

    I'll try that, I was hoping maybe it was in the plug wires or something, those are cheap enough to replace, but who knows...... If it was a coil or a plug wire or both, would the irregular spark cause the chattering that I'm hearing?

    I broke down today!

    That's what I rode to work today:punk: The SV is great, but I really love this V-Max , can't wait to get it fixed and back on the road.

    I broke down today!

    The 2 coils under the seat were easy to get to, is there an easy way to access the front coils?

    I broke down today!

    So just for the heck of it, I started the bike and unplugged the left rear coil and it stopped missing and the engine idled alot smoother. Then I hooked it back up and unplugged the right coil instead, and the idle was rough again. Do you think that left coil is bad and causing the problem...

    I broke down today!

    Got the bike back home today. It idles like it's missing and when I ride, it seems like it's not running on all cylinders and of course the chattering coming from the right side of the motor. Could it be a bad coil? Or maybe the plug wires? Would a lose cam chain tensioner cause a loss of...
