hard

Lately when starting for the first time over night the engine just cranks and cranks ans cranks and..............Zero pop, choke no help. If it even warm it instantly fires up. 2001, 6K. New plugs?

Hey all, I just replaced the clutch on my 93. Got it all back together and checked the lever... Rock hard! I pulled it back down again (all plates out) but the lever is still rock hard... I bleed the system but it pumps back up to its rock hard state... And advise? Nate

Hard drive crash? PC or laptop stolen? No problem! Just call the NSA at 1-got-your-stuff for a backup of all your files. Only $99 (or $199 for Republicans, and don't try to fool us, we know who you are). Offer void where prohibited by law, but we don't really care about that part.

Finding neutral s like butter when the bike is cold, but after longer rides it seems to get clanky and harder to find neutral?? Finicky.

Met this hooligan recently, he's pretty crazy. He'll fit right in with the Michigan Hooligans! :punk: Lookin' forward to summer!

I was looking into the sticky about this and want to make sure this is the problem I have. My 89 always starts but at times (mostly when hot) it BARELY turns over. I have had bikes in the past that when you push down the start button it cranks multiple times very quickly and then starts, but...

Does anyone know if this combination presents any clearance issues? Thanks. Jack.

Hopefully this has not been covered or I'm just missing it, perhaps I am the only one wanting this. I live in the San Jose, CA area and love to work on my V-Max but sometimes I feel like I am in over my head. Anytime I come to this forum I usually find the info I am looking for with lots of...

Ive aquired a new problem here recently,and its kinda strange.Under really hard acceleration in 1st gear,the bike seems to ...slip?..or something.Almost like it jumps outta gear,then right back in,and really snaps the hell outt my neck.I dont know if this is a clutch,tranny,or driveshaft...

On another thread, "njwhit" asked me to post some pics of the hard bags I have on my bike so here they are. I got them a couple years ago from Roger at www.fatmax.com and I've like them a lot. They slide on and off in literally seconds, so you only use them when you want. You do have to relocate...

Hi guys, this is my first road bike and second season of riding and was wondering what is considered to be hard on the Vmax, I mean riding wise not like driving without oil etc :) Can I ride it in the vboost range for extended periods of time, accelerate hard often, sometimes i like to...

I just got my bike back from the Yamaha shop. They went through my carbs and said the sync was way off, also adjusted the air fuel mixture. My V boost before they worked on it seemed to hit hard at 6,000 rpms. Now it does at 6500 and doesent seem as potent. Could it be because my bike is running...

hope this is nothing major! today riding on the highway 100km/h (60miles/hour) it seemed to be missing (like if it was running out of gas, not the case had a nearly full tank), so I twisted the throtle WOT, nothing happend it was steady at 100km. I then pulled in the clutch to rev it, the...

Checked the fuses under the tank and the main fuse under the seat, they both look fine, I put the stock bulb back in and it is still running weird, Anything else i should try??:bang head:

So I have been out on my new(to me) 97 vmax it has the corbin seat on it with there back rest I cant take it any more it is hard as a rock and just flat, slippery as can be I can deal with it when riding alone... kind of, but when my lady gets on there every stop she just slides right into me...

Hey guys, One of my fork seals on my 04 Vmax started leaking a while back and I am considering changing them myself instead of taking them to the dealership. Before I commit to diving in to this project, I was wondering if someone could tell me how hard a project this is, and what parts I...

I want a new vmax..I have over 25k into my 96...I am dying to try the new one though...Any thoughts how it compares to the old max??

I was wondering if you guys changed the gap on your spark plugs when installing COP's? Reason I ask is cause I am having a really hard time getting my bike to start when it's cold. Went out this morning (low 40's) and went to start it and it really tried to start but just wouldn't catch. I...

Ok, so I was looking for bags for my VTX, and ran across www.ridebikegear.com They have good prices on hard bags and a "universal" mounting system. I just wonder if their mounting system would work on a Max? From their fine print, though, all sale are final. :confused2:
