    Ok so many of you may have read my post from this morning regarding my great ride yesterday. Well, I just finished changing the engine oil and the rear end gear oil. Then I went to start the bike and it was very difficult to get started. The choke wasn't working as it normally does. The more...

    Rough Rider

    My Max is the roughest MC I have ever rode. Tense up every time I see a tar strip coming up. Shakes my fillings out. Any way to tame this thing or is that just the nature of it?

    Rough Running Problems

    I have read almost every post on the site and haven't found a definitive answer to this problem. My newly purchased 1997 with stock carb/exhaust/air filter runs fine when first started. As it warms up, it starts running rougher and rougher. When at full operating temp, it won't idle and runs...

    running rough

    Hey guys, I'm new to the V-Max scene and I think I have a problem. My bike starts and runs smoothe, but I think it is running on 3 cylenders. I changed the spark plugs to OEM and still runs the same but a little bit better. All of the plugs that came out looked ok, no white plugs or oil. The...
