    Remove clutch pushrod seal

    Hi all I'm rebuilding the clutch slave cylinder on my 97 Vmax: I need to remove the seal for the clutch pushrod, as it's leaking oil from the crankcase into the slave cylinder. I'm having trouble with taking out the old seal, I've tried a hooked pick tool but that's just torn the inside of the...

    Clutch sticking in gear with Barnett coil spring conversion

    Hi all My V-Max has always had problems with the gears sticking when I downshift - the gear lever won't go to the next gear down unless I blip the throttle first. It also can't find neutral with the engine running, again I'd need to blip the throttle first before it does go in neutral. Also...

    Carb float catching on jet holder assembly?

    Hi everyone. Currently cleaning and rebuilding the carbs on my 97 Vmax Canada import. Bike has been unable to idle (have to blip the throttle at traffic lights to stop the bike stalling) and also the idle races to 3500-4000 sometimes too. Found a number of faults already with the carbs but...

    Cam Chain Tensioner Adjustment

    Hi all, Picked up a 1997 V-Max Canadian import a few months ago. Since I had it it's been making a ticking noise, happening at pretty much all revs and on the overrun. After thinking it was the valves out of adjustment I had this done and the noise was still there. It's coming from the rear...

    Ok to cut radiator hose?

    Hi all Hope I put this in the right section... I've just been attempting to sort a very leaky coolant hose going to the front cylinder head on my Vmax. The end of the hose where it touches the engine block was the problem, I think from when oil was coming out from the rocker gaskets before I...

    Coolant drain valve assembly

    Hi everyone, As part of my never ending saga of trying to get my Vmax on the road, I'm now having problems getting the coolant sorted out. I had to dump the coolant to replace the valve cover gaskets (good job I did as the coolant was black), but as part of this I tried to turn the drain...

    Replace fuel reserve switch

    Wotcher, The fuel reserve switch on my Vmax has broke and I need to get a replacement quick! It's not the normal Vmax switchgear (think its an early FJ1200 or Virago 1100 on) with the fuel reserve box bolted on the bottom. The wires have broken off from inside the box and I cant open it to...
