    Ft Worth TX VMax $2800 OBO

    Not mine, no one I know. $2800 OBO, looks like as it has 'running issues' since he mentioned "needs TLC," which to me means, 'it doesn't idle' or 'has trouble starting, and then won't pull cleanly.' Ask the questions if you're interested. Has a Kerker 4/2 exhaust, OEM sissy bar, and '6-pack'...

    1985 vmax for parts or repair

    For repair, will probably need new tranny. (History: 2nd gear popping, now its stuck in 1st, won't shift). Can't afford the necessary crankcase disassembly. Otherwise everything else was working great before this happened. $500 OBO. In San Diego, CA. Contact Keith 718 757 9499 for more details.

    Getting Ready to Sell

    It is time to sell the project / finished bike and redo it next year. I should have sold it earlier in the season but I was still too in love with it. Now my plan is to sell it and use the money to finish paying for school. So I'd like to share where I'm at right now. Photobucket destroyed so...

    85 V-Max sounds- not the good kind...

    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 today I picked up an...

    V-Max #4 Purchased: Basic Maintenance / Mod List

    Like the title says, this is the fourth V-Max I've owned in my life. It's a 1993. I've nailed the throttle a few times and it feels much more stable than the 1999 I just sold. Strange. Anyway, I'm doing the basics with limited funds. I've purchased: - New clutch disk set and gasket ordered, but...

    Finally!!! I am VMax owner

    I have been riding bikes since I was about 9 years old (turned 45 in July). My first street bike I pulled from the woods and got it running when I was 14 years old. It was a 1974 CB360 that had sat for probably 10 years. I rode the snot out of that thing around the neighborhood and from that...

    Strange "vmax" noises.

    Apparently clutch basket rumble/chatter, and God awful clunky shifting are just the norm for a 32yr old vmax with 17k milrs. Just had to say this thing shifts with ass punching notchieness. I guess the newer ones didn't have this problem. Just changed the plugs. Felt like bitching after my first...
