    No start

    Not sure if there is a thread on this yet, couldn't find it if there is. Yesterday was a hot day 34 Celsius. A few times during a ride my 85' stalled on me rolling up to a traffic light. I think my idle is too low, however twice it would not start again. There was no power to anything, no head...

    Electrical switch

    Not a Vmax part per say, but looking for an off/on rocker type switch I can mount on the handle bars. I'd like to operate the fan over ride from my left hand, not down by the ignition switch. Anyone know who makes switches like that? Thanks.

    No power whatsoever

    Hello all. First time posting on Vmaxforum. I recently removed the stock handlebars and installed a set of drag bars on my 2000 VMax. I fired it up with no trouble moments before slapping the new bars on, but after they were installed I had no power at all. I thought maybe I left the...

    Signals Stopped Working

    The other day I started up the bike and noticed none of the signals worked. Just the signals, all other electrics worked. I checked the bulbs and fuses, they were fine. What am I missing? And what needs replaced/fixed. I have a 98 V Max.

    Electrical questions

    Both my neutral switch and my sidestand switch on the '86 read 75-100Ω when closed, which I think is too high (should be close to zero Ω) Are these switches serviceable or do they need to be replaced? :ummm:

At first everything was turning over but very slowly, since the engine was warm it still kicked on even though it was not its usually peppy ignition.

    Electrical theory - made easy!

    I've heard people verbally equate electrical principles to common plumbing terms, but have never seen it in print - till now. This sure makes it all easier to understand! Cheers!

    Electrical issues

    i am really stumped. (which doesnt take much, since i am not a mechanic). I am not getting a spark to the rear cylinder. My friend trouble shot it to the ECU or a wiring problem. I bought an ECU and put it in, only to realize that is not the problem. I have determined that the ignition coils...
