problem

I have a 2003 and 2006 Vmax and have the same problem with both. I have a problem where the starter does not seem to be engaging the flywheel. I replaced the starter thinking the gear might be worn down, but the same problem exists, where it makes a rattling sounds and occassionally catches...

So, got the rear tire swapped out (rode over a nail!!!), but I pulled it myself to save a few bucks. Have done it once or twice before. When I was putting things back, I think I lost a spacer. I've looked all over my garage though, and cannot find anything. This is what I have. From the...

Hello all I have a suspicion the vboost not working I cannot feel that typical kick after 6K rpm…. I can say that: 1. At start the v-boost engine do make the self-test 2. I have no air box so I can see that the cable make a full way of movement and open the valve...

Hello everyone.I am a new member,i have got myself a 1996 1200 vmax project.I have put on a new battery,when I press the start button all the lightes go out and it will not turn over.I have a manual on its way,but can't wait to hear it run.Any advice what to check please.Thanks.

I was cycling my ignition and this is what I noticed- Boost module cable goes up, then it comes down.....wait 2 seconds and it clicks and drops down another 1/2 inch a second time. On my old max- It would go up,..then come all the way down. Is this normal, or is it getting hung -up ?? I...

Does anybody know where I can get one of these. Or just the worn out half? Yeah I know it's upside down. Or mayb just a whole vboost motor! Better yet how does this happen as I would like to find the cause before replacement.

Hi all, Just got my 1991 all fixed up and running great.... then my ignition switch just broke. It will only work if I turn the key then turn it backwards a bit. But if the key moves slightly forward it goes off again. I feel like there is a contact issue inside the switch. I am concerned...

A few days ago I was driving home on my vmax and I pulled in the clutch to coast and noticed the motor had completely cut off. I did this a few times noticing that the rpm wouldnt even stop at idle and would just completely turn off and not even hang at idle. When I got home I fiddled with the...

Hi everybody, I went for a ride this morning and then stopped the bike for about 15 min. Everything was fine. When I wanted to drive back home, I could not accelerate past 4k rpm. The bike was accelerating just fine below that rpm but then at 4k she felt like she was struggling, unable to go...

Looking for some insight on a recent problem. Yesterday I had cylinder 1 issues. I hear some misfire and can feel lack of performance and when I feel the side of cylinders #1 feels cooler then the rest. Going to check my primary and secondary coil numbers to see if coils good, and if it is any...

On my way home from thunder my bike shut down about 40 miles from home. I stopped for gas and it was running fine, when I started it up ten minutes later and went to take off, there was no power at all. I felt like I was riding a scooter. I couldn't figure it out, it wasn't making a bunch of...

Hi guys, I got a problem with my vboost control unit. It is not working properly. When turning the ignition key it wil not make the servo Motor work. So nu buzzing. When i press on the vboost unit it works every time. I guess it is broken, the circuit board. Any of u have any...

Hello i`m a new member from the sunshine coast b.c. I have a 2007 max with a problem with the v boost, I have had the motor out of the bike for a partial rebuild (for ingesting a small piece of metal ,I will tell another time.) I have a flat spot @7000rpm. From 6000 to there its opening, then...

I have a 2003 vmax with 9,000 miles (original owner). Engine developed major off throttle miss and I am stumped. Engine will idle decently, but opening throttle results in major stumble. If I apply choke, acceleration is better, but not good. If I spray ether into carbs it revs right up. This...

I have been bleeding and adjusting clutch lever, but at mornings pressure is almost gone. After a while it starts to build pressure anyway and clutch is working normally and lever is also firm and normal. (When engine is warm??) We still have quite cold nights here..is it relevant to the issue...

Hey guys, been awhile. Have something really weird going on. Inherited a relatively new carb rack from a friend. Put them on my bike and started doing a sync. The first 2 steps work just fine, but when I try to sync the right bank with the left, I have the sync screw completely bottomed out...

So I've been riding the bike on the daily lately and when I left the house for my new job (Cycle Gear, whoop! Awesome so far) the bike randomly stalled out about a half mile from my house... Got home from work and this is the info I have for you. 1) I think it's most likely a "safety" switch...
