Horrific experience, actually. Witnessed a fellow VMaxer pull up to a stoplight on Saturday, with a Harley joining him in the lane next to him. They're at the front. Long access road...beautiful sunny day. Engines revving (those of us behind the two at the front of the pack, egging them...

I rode the bike around alot yesterday and parked it in the driveway after a good seafoaming. I went back out to get my girlfriend from work about 3 hours after and it didn't want to start at all. Just cranked and cranked but no glimmer of starting. I pulled the plugs and they were black, wet...

Guys, I'm hoping you'll be able to assist me... I have ISR levers on the vmax and the clutch lever broke for whatever reason... no crashes, no bending, just broke. It's leaking brake fluid from the little pump thing that is in the lever and goes into the clutch reservoir. I tried calling ISR and...

I dropped the oil pan on my recently aquired '86 max to recover a shift drum pin today. The pin was exactly where another member said it would be, in the oil pump pick-up. I also recovered the missing screw for the input shaft bearing retainer, it was in the bottom of the pan. How that stuff...

I have a Python shift light. I wash my bike and I think I must have got the shift light wet. At first it would light up randomly then the next day (hoping it would dry out) I checked it and now I get nothing. My question is has anyone had this issue before? Can I save it? Or should I plan on...

I haven't ridden my max in over a year (yea I know!!) and started driving over the road in April of this year. When I came home in June of this year I out my Max in the shop to have the carbs cleaned. I ordered a turn signal relay from Python Motorsports before I went over the road and changed...

Okay so after talking to a yamaha mechanic, ive been told my needles arent stock(even tho they are non adjustable) they have Y299 stamped on them and according to yamaha mikuni only put letters on the stock needles. Which also leads me to believe that my springs probably arnt stock either. So...

Yesterday I was riding home from Laguna Del Mar (about 50 miles or so from where I live ) and got stuck on a one lane road and the traffic was so bad and moving so slow that my bike heated up bad enough to cause my clutch to slip like a sled on a snow hill, and to make things worse when I...

Need some advice; I have a 07 V-max I purchased used in May, the previous owner put drag bars on the bike and then replaced the original hand grips. I would like to put on bar end mirrors and stay with the present grips at this point. The problem is the stock hand grips have a solid...

Hey guys I got my 86 about 2 weeks ago. I had to put on a new tire and had an exhaust leak and the brake lights didn't work.
