I was hoping a valve adjustment would cure the ticking noise that developed in my 85 vmax so much for wishful thinking,the noise seems to be lower maybe a wrisp pin or piston slap its a pretty loud metallic tick noise only when you let off on the throttle cant really hear it when you rev it up...

Just found out my 15 years under a tarp 85 Vmax with the broken oil filter boss also has a broken crank. But two years ago I picked up an 83 Venture that was in a house fire, most of body melted but other than the cdi being bad which I found the engine runs great, I am kinda new here and I can...

Can the v boost servo motor be tested off the bike to be sure it cycles properly. Mine just feels likes its humming or vibrating when the switch is moved to run. Nothing is moving. :ummm:

Hi Guys, I traded my assault riffle for another Vmax yesterday, this time it's a 95 with 24K miles. The story goes that the PO had recently been in the motor for some tranny work. If I remember correctly the shift drum and a fork were replaced. The PO put ~100 miles on it and the...

Hello, I am a neebie VMAX owner but I have been reading various posts\threads in this forum for about a month. The VMAX that I bought is a 93 model which hadn't been started in about 3 years. The carbs were so gummed up to a point where the throttle could not be rotated. They have since been...

As you all know the paint will fade etc from the head due to excessive heat over the years , I have been told that this can be repainted and have just seen a good example of this been done by brush while the motor is still in the frame . Is it possible to do the whole motor in the frame ? Has...

Motor will not turn over. the fuel pump and boost controll cycle as normal but all I get when I push the star botton is a feww clicks. Acts and sounds like a weak battery. Installed new battery full charged, same problem. Only thing I've done recently is R&R the carbs to clean float bowl. Anyone...

Hi guys, I just replaced my starter motor with one from eBay , ricks. Had a 2 pole got a 4 pole, wow what an improvement. Now it turns real fast and starts a treat.

I have'nt taken this off in a few years but looks like it needs internal cleaning. I've removed the rad and drain tube assembly for access for removal. Is there anything else that needs to move or is there enough room to wiggle it out at this point? Looks like the cross bar is very close to it...

Is there a replacement 4 pole starter motor from a Yamaha quad, I need to replace my 2 pole.

Hi guys, I'm back from a 4000k trip on my max ( golden shower), all Went well, but now my start motor is making a whine and it's real hard to Start, even with choke. When it does start it sounds like it's only running On two or three, but all headers get hot. Once it's running for a Few...

Looks like the lower case in the 1570 motor is trashed. You can see the abrasion on the mating surface near the main case bolt holes. This case has been squirming for a long time.

I'm looking for a set of new Delrin motor mounts, anybody know where to source them? I have a set on my current engine made by Jedi but need a new set. Sean do you carry them or can get them from Steve? Or should I contact Steve directly? TIA!

The block is a 1300, 1986 Venture, block has been decked 0.40". Vmax heads. All the covers are just fitted up to see if it was going to work. Motor is going into a 2003 RSV frame. Junk block setting in frame for fit up. Side covers are from 2005 Royal Star Venture. Valve covers are from the...

I have a friend who will turn me some aluminum motor mounts (bushings) out of aluminum -- I just need the dimensions. Does anyone have precise measurements of the stock mount dimensions or a tip on finding them? Thanks in advance. P.S. If I make some and they work out well, I might have him...
