sounds

Started hearing a metallic rubbing sound from engine. Like something rubbing against a case cover or ?. Thought it may be the water pump but the noise is coming from the other side. Does not knock when started but after running a few minutes starts low and gets louder as it runs. If I blip the...

So here's a video of the '86 running... crappily. I'm sure a carb sync is badly needed, but what do you guys think about this noise. The oil light is on and stays on even when filled all the way to the top of the sight glass. I filled it that much just to see if I could trick it. As I say in the...

This is my first vmax, and ive never seen or heard a vmax in person before... I bought it with electrical problems and fixed it so now it runs. I know it has full kerker 4 into 1 exhaust, buts all I saw that has been done to it. Does this sound like a stock motor or has it been modified? It...

Earlier I went by the local Harley dealer here in Lawton, to talk to them to see if they had a dyno, and if so....how much? Since they wouldnt be tuning my bike...its 85 bucks an hr. As many runs as I want in that hour, the full hr is mine. I was expecting like 100 bucks for 3-4 runs...etc...

Nice sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=LYwqJtJ34xc#t=122s

I just took this system off my bike. Figured I should take some video of it beforehand to entice some potential buyers. Here is a video of some static engine idle and revving as well as a couple almost WOT and cruising runs. I must say this system sounds AMAZING! and AMAZINGLY LOUD!! I have...

I finally got this bike running well enough to take it through the gears. Found that it has all the gears, but is making a nasty sound. Kind of sounds like its coming from the engine, output shaft maybe? or maybe splines on drive shaft. It happens when I get on it hard, or fast starts with quick...

Start happeaning last week, It sounds like its still doing system check when its running.... :ummm: Its hard to tell over the exhaust. But i'm pretty sure that its still clicking when its running. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgnbGiULuxQ

Checked the fuses under the tank and the main fuse under the seat, they both look fine, I put the stock bulb back in and it is still running weird, Anything else i should try??:bang head:

Hi guys, newbie here. I just bought a vmax last weekend from a guy that thought the crank bearings were bad. Listening to it I think it's more of a topend/ valve adjustment issue. This is my first vmax so any input is highly appreciated! I want to square this away before starting the mods...

Gday all. I ran my stock 1987 model last March, literally 60km after I bought it (as you do.....). That's when I found out the V-boost didn't work, the front brake didn't hold it still very well in the water, and my 2nd gear jumps very occasionally. Oh well. Still, she did 12.4 @ 105 with easy...

hi guys. got my 05 engine in my bike finally after months of saving up. Only has 4150 documented miles on it from pinwall cycles. Here is my problem. The other day my fuel light was on so i stopped into BP to get gas. Well when i started my bike up my oil light was on. I left the bike running...

Take a look at my exhaust pictures. http://www.vmaxforum.net/album.php?albumid=426

I did some surfing on the problem I seem to have with my carbs and found this, Hi Hans, Blaine probably has the same problem as me, the airscrew on one of my carbs seized which results it in idling more-or-less ok, but as you accelerates slowly ? run only on 3 cylinders and when the main...

my old magna had real loud pipes so I could never hearr the engine. Since getting the max I want to know everything I can about bikes so I will ask dumb questions from time to time. So when cold my max sometimes "coughs" from the air box like a little gust of air. Does it at low revs when cold...
