Hey Maxxers, been a while since I've posted but about to get real this year "Maxxin" out!! Show me, WITH PICS PLEASE, what types of bags you have for your Gen 1 Max for mid & long travel, with passenger preferably. And if you can, provide the "store" where you got them. I have the OE sissy bar...

The servo works fine, I feel the boost but it's coming on around 6400. Do I have to take everything off(airbox & carbs) or can I just take the airbox off and get to the adjustments from there?

Is there a way to drain the ruel tank without removing it?

I pulled my coils today after I was getting an inconsistent running sound and thought it maybe electrical. It was! One of my coils is bad. The other 3 have some cracking but they all test good. BTW, the Haynes manual says 2.4-3.0 for the resistence and mine are all around 3.9 Does this sound...

Ok, now it's getting a little crazy. I put new carbside intake boots when I saw the old ones wet with gas and they're still doing it??? #2 & #3 cylinder boots are all wet and I can see the bottom of those carbs are wet as well. I did a really good clean, shotgun + (soaked them all in my dunk...

So I took a after work ride and as I came off I-5 and I pulled up to the light, the bike idled down to stall. Tried to start it and it cranked a little and went dead. It's had a bit of a hot starting problem every once in a while. I did the r/r rewire and check last year and everything seemed...

I hear, I think from Sean, that the Kerker full system gives the best HP increase for the buck. I love having the centerstand and wondered can I keep it with the Kerker 4-2?

I changed my oil the other day and after I emptied the drain pan I found my filter spring in the bottom of the pan. I would think this would make a difference being that it would hold the filter in place to allow the oil to flow through the filter properly. I did ride it about 15 miles without...

I've had a rich fuel smell since I got my Max last year. Can't walk behind it when it's warming up or I will smell like heavy exhaust and have to leave my cloths outside so my house doesn't stink. I'm running all stock but when I did my carbs 2 weeks ago, I noticed I had 100's and 170's for my...

I cleaned my carbs today and as I was documenting all the jet sizes, needle shims, etc., I noticed that the manual and some of you here list the 2 PAJ sizes as 90/170. I'm running all stock and I have 100/170's in mine. I live in S. Oregon at an elevation of about 1500 feet. I have a Califonia...

Last year when I did my valve cover gaskets I replaced the O rings between the V Boost intakes and the head. I basically matched what I thought were the correct size o rings but now I see the #1 cylinder has a leak that's running down the cylinder and onto the crank case and think maybe it's the...

'93 stock Max. How are you guys doing this? I have a bicycle tire pump with a gauge but don't seem to be able to get enough air in them. It either puts too much pressure or I go too soft and it doesn't get enough. I did the seals/fluid last year and still can't get the pressure right. Thoughts?

I just got a GPS handlebar mount and it came with a charger I can wire into my system. Where is the best place to wire this into? Ignition switch would make the most sense but I don't have that much experience with electrical. Any help would be great. Also, I got a Battery Tender Jr and wired...

I'm near Medford/Ashland, Oregon. Any Vmaxer's near here? Lot's of Harley's around. I've seen 1 Max about a month and a half ago, never to be seen again.

http://www.partshark.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=676403&category=motorcycles&make=YAMAHA&year=1993&fveh=17997 Looks like this is the place for seals. I went to a local guy and they wanted $114 for the 2 sides PLUS shipping just for the seals. Like $300+ for the pistons. Outrageous...

Has anyone ever installed a voltage idiot light? It would be perfect in the spare spot in the cluster but how/where to wire it?

I see you guys are getting 100+ miles per tankful of gas. My low light goes on @ 79-82 miles. I haven't pushed it to see how far I can go after that but it seems not far. I've leaned it out to just over 1 turn out (extremely lean by what I read here) and still I am getting a very strong exhaust...

I've seen some of the posts on starter/hot start issues. Here's what I'm experiencing; Hot starting got worse. Won't crank at all now when hot. Battery place checked the battery and the charging system. Battery @ 13 not running, same @ idle and high 12's at 3500 rpm's. Battery guy says probably...

OK, so here's what has been done to date; 93 Cal Vmax w/ 25,000 miles Checked valve clearences and are fine. Carbs were covered with oil from leaking valve covers so pulled them apart and cleaned, checked fuel level and reinstalled after replacing valve cover gaskets. Went to sync and...

So I bought a 93 Max and when I asked the guy about the toggle switch on the throttle holder he told me that 93 was the first year to put that toggle switch in. I knew he was telling a story, or as I found out later, was told that. So I figured, by the miles and the guy having the bike for 2...
