motor

this just started happening last week. It is weird. I'll push the starter button and can hear the starter motor spinning, but the bike wont fire up. on one occassion, I pushed the bike forward an inch or so and the bike fired up. However,on a separate occasion, I tried doing the same thing when...

Bad experience there. I spent over $650 with them to service my 92 Max and everything they touched was bad. Front end wobble was worse. they over tightened my brand new fly screen and the shield has stress cracks on every screw hole they didn't tighten the master cylinder caps and both leaked...

Does anyone know if there is a motor size stamped on the motor some where.

I've performed the idle circuit cleaning procedure and have synched the carbs. Throttle response is good. Engine revs up and when the throttle is closed, the engine take 5-6 seconds to come back down to an idle from 5000 RPM. Adjusting the idle screw, I can't get an idle between 1000 and...

I should have my motor together and ready to fire up in the next few weeks. Starting to think about the carbs. To start with flatslide are completely out of the question. I've got a come up with a combo that'll work with this motor utilizing the stock carbs. It's already set up as sort...

Hey guys, just got the motor back in my VMAX, runs and rides great. I'm not noticing any strange things on the road yet as far as handling, but since I did have the rear swingarm out, how do I reset the "alignment" of the swingarm? What's the proper way to go about this procedure? I'd rather be...

Hey guys, almost done putting the motor back after replacing the second gear, hub, first gear and crank bearings. I have this oil tube, and I think I know where it goes, but I need verification. The picture with the tube inserted into the orifice on the bottom case seems to be where it goes, but...

Hopefully I will find some help here. My 1988 VMax doesn't want to idle smooth after motor reaches operating temp. Here's what I have/have done. I bought the bike 2 years ago with Supertrapps installed. I put a K&N filter and thus had to do a stage 1 kit. I cleaned and sync'd the carbs at...

while testing my servo motor prior to install, the motor works fine doing the test in the manual but, when checking the resistance, the check between terminals 3-4 shows high 10.6. It's supposed to be 7.5 +- 30%. terminals 1-3 is 7.44 and 1-2 is 7.45. The manual says replace but I'm not sure...

stage 7 with enabled v-boost , YAMAHA FACTORY SETTING v-boost cable on slot no 1, this way the v-boost works in perfect harmony with the stage 7 on the vmax, WOT IS BACK

Is there any other bike starter motor brush plate that can replace that of a 86 Max?:bang head:

I know i asked this already but i got out again today and when cruising thru town in 2nd-3rd gear when i let off the gas my Max sounds like its turbo charged??? almost like a semi coasting, the guy said there is a K&N filter in it not sure if that whould make a difference:ummm: thanks for any...

Just getting use to the new site here (for me anyways) and putting the right topic in the right forum, anyways just got a sweet 98 Max and am enjoying the hell out of it pretty easy to get a smile when riding this thing, anyway just notice when idling and when you rev it up is it common that...

Just got my 98 and am enjoying the hell out it already just wondering do these motors always make a howling whinny sound when running? are they really not a quiet running motor? one more thing what would you guys say would be the easiest cheapest power upgrade or easy boost? sorry about all dumb...

Okay, just a rant. ive worked on some ignorant bullshit before, but how in the hell do you get the motor out and back in with out scratching the living shit out of the bike. the motor mostly fell out, gravity was my buddy. no real scratches to speak of. but going back in... i had...

Got everything back together and got her running. So far so good. I love how people ask me if i notice any big power difference from before when it has been a year and a half sine i rode it, and working on Harleys all day riding this thing is just amazing.

I am working with an electrical engineer that thinks he can help me with the issue of the gerard motor not being compatible with the Ignitech TCI that I have and that a few members are contemplating buying. Dead or Alive. I would like to get a servo motor as cheap as possible, minimum I would...

As some of you know I broke the damper cam to my drive assembly recently doing a nice fat wheelie and now have to tear my motor apart...GROOVEY! ANYWAYS! I took some pictures just to keep ya guys in the loop as to where shes at thus far. Were already tearing the whole motor down so new gaskets...
