    ignition issue diagnosis

    Thanks for all the great advice everyone...especially Miles. I removed the ignition and once opened, found a great big corroded mess. Cleaned it, installed it, bike runs perfect again. Thanks again!

    ignition issue diagnosis

    The battery terminals are clean and properly connected. I checked my main fuse connection and it was fine. I made a 30amp jump wire and tried to see if it would provide juice to the dash and headlight...it did not. There's no power going to anything, which leads me to think it's the...

    Fork upgrade

    Hello all. Looks like one of my fork seals on my 1988 vmax is starting to leak. I have a couple of questions regarding my next step.... I'm in NYC, so there's nowhere for me to do it myself, it will be taking her to a shop. Should I upgrade to a newer model VMax set of rebuilt forks and...

    Finally did my brake upgrade

    I purchased the kit Sean sells. Unbelievable difference. If you haven't upgraded yet, it should be next on your list. Thanks Sean for a great setup! Don

    Saddlemen Tail Bag

    thanks for all the advice guys. I ended up buying a set of Nelson-Rigg CL-850's off ebay. I've seen them on a bike before, they're big, but should hold everything i need. Hope they size up ok on the VMax.

    engine died in traffic this morning

    agreed. I had a similar problem. Last month, I bought a newer style r/r (i have an 88) and wired it directly to the battery. I also purchased an odyssey 680 as my old one wasn't holding a charge properly. I added a 30amp fuse to the positive wire as suggested in the sticky. I had also added...

    brake/caliper compatibility question

    I have an '88 that was hit by someone trying to park. Looks like he rolled over the front wheel a bit, as the fender is scraped. (one of the joys of having a bike in NYC) Since then, I've had a pulse in my front brakes, and am thinking he warped my rotor. Also, the brake lever was broken, I...

    1 more for the collection

    If you decide to sell of parts, I'd be interestd in front calipers and rotors. Would they fit 1988 Max?
