starter

Hello all. First time posting on Vmaxforum. I recently removed the stock handlebars and installed a set of drag bars on my 2000 VMax. I fired it up with no trouble moments before slapping the new bars on, but after they were installed I had no power at all. I thought maybe I left the...

Anyone do this? http://imageevent.com/jkvmax/starterkit;jsessionid=u8fxdguio1.goose_s

Ok, here's the run down on what I call a crappy day. I really need good help fast as the max is my only transportation at the moment. During my commute home from work I encountered TONS of rush hour traffic which led to a very toasty max. As I prepared for a left turn I must have stalled it...

I had been hearing some noises when starting my "88 Vmax for the last year, that I didn't like the sound of. I had asked my dealer mechanic if he thought it needed work when he installed new tires last Fall, and he said that was pretty much normal and to keep riding. Last evening, I tried...

Hy, is there anay spacer (or wave washer) in back of the 72 thooth idle gear on the starter clutch:ummm: While i put every thing back in place this big gear at the back of fly-wheel as a free play (back n forth) of about 0,080`` and it dose`nt allow with the little 27 thoot gear. And this...

Dear Friends.. There is a sound like a something loos or damaging appears sometimes at motor starting , after several times, it starts normal!! Any idea what is going on?, a friend told me there is a problem in the starter clutch.. if soo,, how I can replace it in details please.,, thanx

Not sure what's going on, but as soon as I turn on the key and flip the run switch to on the starter engages and stays engaged. I have disconnected the solenoid trigger wires starter does not spin. Removed the starter button still spins. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks in...

I have a 1990 VMax and recently have been having problems with it starting. The starter seems like it is going out and unable to turn the bike over. When the spark plugs are out the bike turns over just fine. The battery is brand new and fully charged. I am guessing that the starter is...

where is the starter ? what is happening is when i drive the bike and it gets to operating temps ie. fan comes on , when i kill the the bike and try to start it will not start.thinking the starter .the bike now has 2080 miles on it. any ideas?

My starter sounds like box of rocks when starting cold I know I seen a tread on this some where but im working off cell phone it wont let me search forum I think some one said it was starter clutch? Not sure what does it take to fix any info would help thanks

Can hear the silenoid click and nothing..lights go dim..if i keep on the starter button i get rapid clicking....Starter locked up maybe? Rolled the bike in gear trying to see if that would help and nothing...gonna pull the starter and start there figure its a good time to flush the radiator and...

I'm about ready to reinstall my my starter clutch... I had the box of rocks sound. I'm probably just going to order the 3 bolts with red locktite, gaskets for stator/middle gear cover and washer on middle gear cover . I've taken several pictures maybe someone could double check the wear on the...

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...

Has anyone installed this before. I was looking on ebay for a starter as mine is making an odd noise more frequently and found these.. Anyone...

hello, I am a happy owner of a 92' vmax. recently I got a the weird noises of the starter clutch, with the use of the search option I found my way to remove the flywheel (it damaged a tool and had to buy a more expensive one to continue the process) also I underestimated the power needed for its...

hello, just picked up an 85. Been sitting for many years. Got it started today, but I found that the starter is constantly is running. As soon as the kill switch is in run position the starter turns over. Just wondering if there is a starter relay somewhere ? bad solenoid maybe? Also, will...

Alright, So I (almost) finished putting the bike back together. Only thing left is the rear fender, and the battery. I picked up my battery from the shop yesterday so the battery is fully charged. I drop it in the bike and hook up the pos/neg cables, turn the key, everything sounds exactly like...

The old battery was dying so I replaced it and then the old starter died so I replaced it. It started up twice with no problem and idled for a while so I shut it down to go grab the helmet to take it home to start working on her. Got back an hour later and she refuses to start... any clues to...

Once again I stand before the elders, seeking their guidance. :biglaugh: Last year I built a 1260 with an approx. compression ratio of 13:1. The pistons were MTC 14:1 pistons but I had to have the valve pockets deepened for the cams I'm running and I had some metal removed from the domes. Fast...

I may have to replace my stator - I'm going thru all the fault finding processes currently - but for now I have no questions about that procedure. My question is about the starter clutch bolts, of which the peened ends will be exposed when I remove the stator cover. I'm not having any starter...
