HELP!!!! I went to go check my charging voltage for the 1st time and possibly do the crimp fix but a PO got to it first. Problem is I cannot figure out what he did. Please help. Charging voltage is great 13.8 at 2500rpm. What I cannot figure out is what the PO did with the crimped...

So... Happened to be riding at night today and was lightly bumped in the rear at a red light... Turns out my tail light only works in neutral and it was definitely like that before the incident. Could this be related to the removal of the kickstand relay? I only mention it since that also...

OK, here's what's been done so far. Changed entire wiring harness as the original burned and fused together near the fuel pump. Had to replace pump relay before new pump would run. After that It started instantly, but no ignition to the rear cylinders. Also, vboost doesn't cycle...

I am getting ready to get the bike out for the season, the first time I started it, it started and ran fine, but the battery seemed a little weak. When i went out today to start the bikes (after charging the Magna's battery) the old Honda fired up. But the Vmax (04 btw) acted like it does if the...

guys, I'm on a road trip through central america with 2 vmaxs (one is a 2005 the other a 2006). the 2006 bike is having the following problem, intermittently. With transmission in neutral we turn the key to the on position and no lights come on. Not the neutral light nor the headlight (as they...

Reposted from electrical for maybe more views: Hi all, I have just replaced the entire wiring harness on my Vmax after my old one nearly burned in two in the fuel pump area from a fuel fire. Haven't pinpointed the cause yet, but I did discover that tank vent valve was clogged. I did find a...

FIXED!! ~ Not sure where to go next on electrical issue Apologies in advance for starting a new topic on this but not even sure if it's a charging issue anymore and didn't know which of the previous to post this on. Previous Symptom = Battery not charging, and constantly operating just...

I've thought that my 94 has had a charging problem for a while but the lithium battery masks a lot of issues and I make sure I keep it charged (PO added the new battery). I check the AC voltage coming from the stator and it looks good. The voltage between the terminals at idle is 13.26 volts. At...

hello all, I am the new owner of a 1993 w/ 6k miles. She has garage stored her entire life and up until I rescued her she sat unridden for around 2 years. Under my care she now has a new battery, fully broken down and rebuilt carbs, tank removed and cleaned and fresh oil and fork seals. After...

My newly refurbished clutch master cylinder and Morley Muscle seat came in this last week and I finally was able to take the bike out after a month of sitting in the garage. Great work on the m/c by Sean and his Muscle seat is the best Vmax upgrade of all time! Got the bike out on the road and...

Yeah... the start button sticks, the horn button is iffy, and the turn signal switches feel like they may be sticky. Big part of that may be the fact that the roads here in Maine seem to have a dust clouds the size of major weather systems surrounding all the construction going on. (I cannot...

My buddy Seth and I are trying to get his marker / blinker lights working on his YZF before we ride to Thunder. He was having all kinds of weird shit happening and after I told him to get an LED blinker relay and we installed it, it fixed most of the problems. Now for my question....does anybody...

New member here sorry that my first post is about a dead Max. Took a 10 min drive today the bike was running great. Stopped in a parking lot to make a call dropped the bike in neutral about 10 seconds later it just turned off like the key had been switched off. I had it towed home $107...

Riding along at a reasonable speed (45 or so) in 4th when the bike began to run a little rough, it got worse and I pushed the choke down and it seemed to pick back up, pulled the choke off and it went fine for a few more miles when it started doing the same thing. This time it got worse and...

Hi, I'm new here, read all the noob stuff I think, and don't know where to go for my problem. I'm trying to help a buddy get his 92 running. He bought it 2 years ago, it felt like it ran on 3 cylinders unless it had more than 1/2 throttle, then ran great, but has been getting worse. I read...

Before I start spending money on new parts I figured I would ask if anyone has found a solution for this problem; 1989 Vmax 1988 Wiring Harness I turn the main switch and stop switch to on positions, everything is working properly (all indicator lights come on, fuel pump clicks, 41-R relay...

Hey, guys. So a couple times I have gone 100 miles without filling up. then the red fuel light would come on. So I would throw the switch to reserve (left since letters are worn out) and it would sputter and give all kinds of hell. But thanks to this forum I deduced it was a short somewhere in...

My headlight is going out. At the same time the gauge illumination goes out. To make the lights turn on and off I turn the handlebars. Any guesses at the cause? I keep looking at the electrical schematic and I'm coming up blank.

Hey guys. Looking for some brainstorming help Bike had a complete electrical shut-down on me yesterday (on a bridge in rush-hour traffic, of course). Battery is reading 12.8v, and as far as I know it has been charging properly (I tested it early in the summer and has just over 14v at 3k rpm)...

I was under the impression that the 1999 I just purchased had a bad battery, so I replaced it last Friday. The new battery did not have enough juice to kick the bike over, so I jumped it and rode home, about 40 minutes on the highway. I assumed I would have enough surface charge from the ride...
