    '88 Vmax Rev Limiter Recommendations?

    Hi, I've been researching rev limiters and from what I can tell my options are very slim since my bike is pre-1990. So far my plan is to look for an old Dyna 3000 on ebay. All I'm really looking for is something to keep me from over-revving while accelerating hard or accidentally missing a...

    Second Gear 88 VMax

    This may be operator error but I am not sure. The problem is when short shifting from first to second gear it will sometimes pop out of second gear. It never does this when revving the gears out longer or even under full throttle shifts.

    88 Stock Coil - Plug Wire Loose

    Ok, newbie question here. Background first: I removed the battery on the VMX I bought a month ago to get a good look at it and charge it. In the process I "loosened" the one of the plug wires as it goes into the coil - passenger side - ha ha! I am getting random backfiring and a discolored...

    '88 max kicking out of gear

    Hi. I have an '88 max that likes to kick into neutral after I have shifted into second. Sometimes one after another, sometimes only once or twice then rides fine. Anyone know what I should be looking for? Also, is it easy enough to change the oil and filter? What kind of oil should I put in it...

    '96 engine into an '88?

    Greetings. Am in the process of replacing a lunched engine in an '88, with a '96 engine. (2 snapped conrods- not my work, but I reckon it was a nasty burnout..) Am I right in thinking that I could run the later ignition system if I can get a '90 on wiring harness, and a '90 on TCI or Dyna 3000...

    Swap '88 forks for newer?

    If I've read correctly, I can replace the standard '88 forks with something post-'92 if I replace both triples and the calipers as well, yes? Will the standard wheel from an '88 still work? (Digital speedo, so the speedo drive isn't an issue)

    88 Brake upgrade

    I want to upgrade my front brakes to 4 piston calipers or even the R1 with the 93> rotors though I've just bought brand new master cylinders. Will the existing 1988 master cylinder be OK to use with the 4 pot calipers, or the R1 calipers or would I have to change the master cylinder too??
