clunk

Hello, I am new here. I have been wanting a Vmax for a very long time and I finally bought one. Found a decent deal on a 2000 (12k miles) in town, picked it up last Thursday. Super excited and really fun to ride. So, first off the clutch lever was very weak so last weekend I bled the clutch and...

I took my daughter for a ride on the max and the front fork felt like it was bottoming out when stopping (hearing a clunk). She is maybe around 120#, I'm 250#. Is this much weight pushing the suspension to it's limits or could I have a front suspension issue? I also raised the bike in the rear...

Hello couple of years ago I had issue with my pick up coil. It would misfire when it got hot. Had a hard time chasing the problem down. the misfiring was hard on the drivetrain as it would load and unload the drivetrain quickly I notice now that the driveline has quite a bit of lash...

Ok, ive searched and searched, and I guess before tearing it all apart Id like to see if somebody has experienced the same thing that I'm experiencing The bike is a 99 vmax with 24k miles on it. It feels great on flat roads and brakes are solid, no clunks or anything. However, at any speed...

I have a '92 & a '96 Vmax. Both of them at times will stall when they are shifted into 1st gear after being shut down and restarted. I thought at first it was just happening when I started it in gear with the clutch applied but after closer examination it will do it whether or not it is in a...

Hello, I just removed the clutch retaining wire, half disk, and the related spacer and clutch boss spring. I added a full disk and took time to reinstall everything the right way. All plates are facing the same way etc. I now have a clunk when I shift from neutral to first. I can only...

I just recently bought my first vmax which also happens to be the first shaft driven bike I have ever had, my question is this: when I am coming out of a turn or accel after a decel there is a pretty noticeable clunk, almost as if there was too much backlash or a worn u-joint, the bike is a 2k...

Help me out here. Try as I might, I can only figure out 2 ways to get a smooth, non-"CRRRunk" shift from 1st to 2nd. The ways I can get a nice shift are shifting almost immediately or shifting 6,000 RPM or above. Am I alone?
