    1st Vmax Build

    I build motorcycles in my spare time. I bought a 1989 vmax about 4 years ago for my brother, after riding it once I decided he doesn't deserve a bike like that. I rode it for awhile and then laid it down on coming off a ramp on the highway (it's not a sportbike). It sat in the garage for about a...

    1st And 2nd Gear Problems

    Took the the bike out for a ride on the intersate for about 13 miles, when i got to the off ramp it would not go into first gear only down to netural and then it would grind a little going into 2nd, but all other gears are fine. I was told it might be a bent shift fork? Any ideas? Thanks.

    Bike lunges forward in 1st and notchy in gears?

    I bought this 97 Max with 12k miles in September and having been working with this ever since. I tried bleeding the clutch and it didn't effect anything. The pull feels smooth and the release point is where it should be. I can also hold the clutch all day long and it doesn't bleed off so I'm...

    1st and 2nd popping back in neutral

    My transmission pops back in neutral in 1st and second gear most of the time at low speed just pulling off at red light or stop. I'm thinking it's time to do the tranny change ( hmm that don't sound right ;-) ) and go undercut gears. Cold weather is coming and I'm thinking about doing the...

    1st place in best of show

    So I finally got to take my bike to a show to see how it would do against all those custom HD's & I took 1st place in best of show, mind you there was no metric cruiser spot, so it was gonna be a long shot. Also my bike will be in a local magazine Born to Ride.

    Possible new fork alternative for 1st Gen bikes

    Just read a Cycle World article on Honda's 2014 VFR-800 Interceptor, and going through the specs, I saw something that caught my eye. It has a 43mm non-inverted fork. It says there are no adjustments available for the fork, but then I looked at this image, and I see what looks like (at the bare...

    Hey everyone. I recently bought my 1st VMax ever and I have a question. It's a '90 model bike with 2800 actual miles and still has everything bone stock on it. I'm having some carb issues at the moment due to the fact that the bike has been sitting up for quite a while. But that's not my...

    2.5-3" front rim that fits the 1st Gen Max

    Where as I am a motherfucking stupid fuck, I ordered a 120/90-18 Avon for the front of my bike. The Stock 2.15 rim is too narrow, from what I am finding out. So, I will either have to order a tire that is SMALLER than my friggin piece of shit 110/90 Dunlop, or stick with a piece of shit Dunlop...

    Morleys Seat: 1st Thousand Mile Riding Impression

    Howdie, Re: Sean Morleys Mid Cut Seat I did a lot of research. I wanted to get some miles on the seat to see how it broke in before I offered my two cents review. Over the last few weeks, I did a few short trips and then three days of all day riding. First I have to say again that Sean is a...

    Source for decent rearsets for 1st Gen bike

    I want to find some rearsets to get my feet where they need to be for the most comfort. On the stock bike, if I have the tips of my toes resting on the pegs, my legs and hips feel like they are in the most natural riding position for me, but obviously, my feet ain't very secure that way...

    1st Post - Barn Find 85 VMAX
