Is there a good way to find a leak in the radiator? I have it off the bike now and what to find and fix the leak. Can i plug it up fill it with water and shoot some air into it to find the leak or can this damage somthing? Thanks.

My clutch slave has been leaking ever since I reassembled my bike last year. I replaced the crush washers this year thinking that it was leaking there. It's still leaking. The leak is very slow so I can get away with topping up my fluid every once and a while. Will a slave rebuild kit fix this...

The other day I had the air box off to try and get the carbs down in the boots better. One boot is always wet. After a bit I got it a little better but the carbs still don't want to sit down well. If I get 3 in well and try to get the 4th, the opposite corner pops out. After messing with it I...

I removed the intake manifolds from #3 and #4 cylinder heads. The right side.. Oil was leaking out of the bolt holes for #3:ummm: but not #4. Why would these bolt holes be connected to a oil gallery or return?:ummm:

Hey I just bought a 96 vmax last weekend, I got it for a great price so I couldn't say no. I noticed that it chugs down at lower RPM especially when starting out. I also noticed that it is leaking gas out of the exhaust pipe. Seems like a fouled plug to me but I have to wait till morning to...

I have Vgas carbs with stacks and the left side set of carbs is pouring gas from the overflow at idle any help would be appreciated. Thanks

So i just bought this engine. and it seems to be leaking antifreeze from those little holes drilled in the side of the engine under each spark plug. It is only leaking from the Front left cylinder(num 1 i think). ANy idea what it might be? the enigine only has 4K miles on it. Is this a serious...

I checked fiche on ronayers to see if there were replacable bushings or something for the butterfly shafts but didn't see anything. I'm leaking at the ends of the shafts on a couple carbs. Are there bushings in there or do the shafts ride directly in the carb body? If bushings, where do you...

I have an 85 with no airbox, that all of a sudden started, what I think is backfiring,and leaking fuel from the air vent.Anyone have any idea what is wrong?

Take a look at this picture I just snapped of the top of my oil pressure gauge. There's a small rubber plug on top that has a pin hole crack in it and I've noticed twice now a clear oil like liquid puddling on top of the gauge. I guess its pretty obvious that its leaking the fluid that fills the...

Upon removing a bolt from the engine, intake manifold, oil came up through the hole. This happened with only one of the 8 bolt holes, thoughts? Thanks Darrin VMOA #3393

It just started, my front left carb drips a little. When I fired it up for the first time this year about two weeks ago it seem to be pouring out of the carb but after I started it up and ran it for a while it stop. I started it yesterday and it is leaking just a little. I would appreciate any...

hey guys. so i changed the fork seals/springs/oil this winter and on one side i had to pull the oil seal out once it was in and re-seat it as the tube had got stuck on the damper rod plastic seat. anyways long story short, i didn't note which one and now one of my seals looks like it *might*...

So I put the battery back in the max after the short (4 month) winter down here and started the bike. Turned the key the pump primed and primed. flipped the choke and she started first time! As I let it idle I started to smell gas. I turned around and there was a quickly growing puddle under the...

Apparently coolant is leaking from the crankcase breather housing. If I ride like this, is it possible for air and oil to mix in there somehow?

Hey guys, i've rebuilt my caliper and am 99% sure the mating sufaces between the caliper and the bleed valve are clean. there is still a tiny bit of liquid coming out. brakes work fine and level in reservoir is good. I don't think its necessary to replace the caliper but would telfon tape be...

I put the engine back in the bike yesterday and got everything put back together. It finally looks like a Vmax again! Put new oil in it, and I'll be damned if it's not leaking from the oil pan. I put a new gasket on it, and all the allen screws were tightened to spec as per the Clymer's manual...
