    Burnt Piston

    Thanx for your previous input guys and so I decided to replace the motor and found one at a really good price. My only concern now is if there are any differences in the motor between an 89 and a 94? Are there any parts thats I should swap over that may have been upgraded on the 94 motor? Any...

    Burnt Piston

    Yeah, Im beginning to think that just replacing the motor will be the cheaper of the two options given that I can find a running one at a resonable price. Looking at a motor from an 89, any issues putting it into a 94? I prob should have names this post "Melting Piston" instead of burnt...

    Burnt Piston

    So was wondering what would be cheaper: to repair the motor I have or look for a suitable replacement?

    Burnt Piston

    No, there is no hole in it, it literally looks like it started melting around the edges of the piston itself.

    Burnt Piston

    Looking for some input guys......just bought my first Max, a 94 with 35,000 miles. First thing I did was check compression and had apx 180-185 on all four cylinders. :eusa_dance: So I proceeded to fix her up. Pics are posted in the User Mods section under My New Max. Anyway, the other day I...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    I am not using the directionals as brake lights. They are 3 wire lights so I have running lights all around and directionals. The way I see it, if the factory instrument cluster bulb is partially lit as soon as I attach ground using the 2 diode method, there has to be some kind of feedback in...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    Without the factory instrument cluster bulb installed all of the directionals function as they should so I'm pretty sure they are wired correctly. But the way i see it, if the instrument cluster bulb is still lighting up when wired with the diodes there has to be some feedback from the running...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    There are no resistors at the directionals unless there is something built inside of them that I dont know about. I triple checked all the connections and everything is as should be. I don't doubt that your information is correct, I'm just betting that there is something I'm overlooking on my...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    No, it is an original flasher.

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    I just tried wiring it again exactly as it shows in the diagram you provided and it does not work. As soon as I attach the ground wire the instrument cluster light comes on (but dim) and all the directionals dim as well and I still have 4 way flashing.....:bang head: I should note that I am...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    Sorry, didn't take any pic. Got to frustrated and put everything back together minus the instrument cluster bulb. With the bulb out of the instrument cluster the LED directionals work fine. With the stock bulb "in" I get 4 way flashers and the instrument cluster bulb does not light up at all...

    Stock signal relay and led indicators

    Can anybody help me out with this? I have tried both methods described here, the one using the 2 led's and the resistor and the one using the 2 diodes. Even the diode resistor combination for replacing the factory instrument bulb with an led......nothing has worked. Either they all blink at...

    My New Max

    I appreciate your imput but I wasn't going for more hp, the bike is plenty fast enough for me as it is. (first bike remember) I was more interested in obtaining a rather unique sound and it was only a stage one jet kit not a seven. Who knows, I may have the whole setup wrong but it certainly...

    My New Max

    Hey guys, I've only been a member of this forum for a short time cause I just bought my first bike. Wish I had taken pics back in march when I bought it so you could see the transformation (it was all stock) but as soon as I got it home I started stripping it apart and before I knew it, there...
