back

Got my bike running last week after the usual yearly carb cleaning and my attempt to seal up my annoying little coolant weep, left the plugs alone and figured I'd change them later. Bike ran like shit, felt like it lost 20hp so figured I'd check easy stuff first like the plugs... I'd say that...

Hi, Everyone. I spent the last 5 years overseas and downrange. My 1992 Vmax spent a great deal of that exposed to the elements in Tennessee. A family member was going to keep it in a garage, but I guess that didn't last long. I have the bike back now. Where do I even begin to restore. It was...

Are the caliper kits for the front and rear of the VMax (1986) the same part? The part numbers are similar but not identical.

Right guys need help :ummm: i have been doing winter maintenance/ paint job i was splitting the inlet off my bike and oil started to weep from the back left outer bolt on the manifold is this normal ?

Is it possible that a forum-member in UK can order 2 of these cables and resend to me in Denmark ? (I can pay with paypal) I'll get the Turtle Beach PX5 headset as christmasgift from my wife :eusa_dance:, and have a plan to buy a PS4 next year :o)...

I have been on Cape Cod for almost three weeks. Looking forward to the warmth of S.CA. and Baja Norte. The weather here sucks. Cold, rain, snow, overcast. A friend and myself went to Foxwoods yesterday, a casino in CT. I am so not into the casino thing. Empty eyed, hollow people dumping money...

I got my back rest and rack yesterday after work and got them installed in a few minutes. I love the fit and finish!!! Thanks Dobie!!!

Second time this issue has happened to me. I went to fire my bike up today to go get lunch; vboost cycled, fuel pump clicked, hit the start very briefly and it didn't get started all the way. Hit the start button again and nothing at all. No electrical at all even though the key remained in...

Hi everyone, this is my first VMAX. Today when I started it at a friends house I noticed it back fire into the airbox. I tought nothing of it at first but when I put it into gear it back fired in to the airbox again. It did this about every two min and continued untill I got the bike home. To...

Is there a "bringing back from the dead" award? There are several people on the forum that are probably deserving of this award...if there is one. Several people have bought Vmax's that they probably shouldnt have, and instead of parting them out...spent a lot of time, money, and effort, and...

Drove back into Texas today after 9 months working in the land of fruits and nuts. 17 hours straight drive thru the night from Stockton Ca into West Texas, I took these pics out around Sierra Blanca & Van Horn, about 100 miles East of El Paso and about 50 miles from where I grew up. Wish I...

With both my parents passing away a year or 2 back and with the idea of buying something with some of their money to say mum and dad bought me that .The missus has said if we build a new garage you can get yourself a vmax . Now with the dollar the way it is do I get a gen2 at a good price from...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqyYYKS6J8U Thats just out of second gear and just into third for a couple of rpm's. Can't wait to hit the track and see what happens.

Well, took apart my rear end on my bike and the final drive is fine. The shaft is fine going to the case but when I took apart the case, Holy Shit!! The chain that connected the gears blew into a thousand pieces! And even considering that the gears and shafts that Steve (Jedi) were still...

Well I have it back together. My speedo is really slow to accelerate. It never did that before, cable isn't pinched and seems to spin freely. It does get to mph, but takes longer than it should. I ll try and take a video of it. I have a clunk in the front end when I hold the brakes and...

Het guys I`m back from a pretty bad accident on my max. A minivan pulled right in front of me in a left hand rurn lane and hit his brakes! Thanks to ,y quick thinking,,, The bike only a broken mirror, a broken shifter (only the tip tho) and the footpeg came off the mount (but didn`t break it =/)...

I was riding a few days ago and my bike started to have problems . As I gave her throttle she'd stumble and sputter. It was at that point I switched over the reserve switch and she picked up for a while than she'd stumble again. :ummm: If I keep switching back to regular tank and then to...

Has anyone had their max kick back when trying to start up?? Mine has done this cold and hot and when it does it it sounds like its going to break the engine in half.. It acts like the timing is to advanced but I don't see how that could be possible. Flywheel key is good.. is there anything...
