Hoping to find someone in the Tampa FL area, who is fairly knowledgeable with hands-on experience in wrenching on the Max. I have met a couple other local owners, but these are the ones that just let the local dealers do all the maintenance on their rides. I can?t really afford the labor costs, and want to be able to do a lot of the basic upkeep/upgrades myself.
My problem is in understanding what?s written in the service manual that I dl?ed from V Max Outlaw. There is a lot of info in there, and in here, but I still have several questions on certain procedures, that only someone that?s already done them, could answer or lead me through.
A couple weeks back, I read a post that someone wrote ?somewhere? in here, on simply removing the seat for access to the battery, coils, fuel filter etc. After using the search, ?seat removal?, and finally just ?seat?, wading through a few hundred posts, I still never found what I was looking for, and I know damn well it?s in here somewhere!
There was a good guy locally that did a lot of independent work out of his home, very helpful and reasonable, that unfortunately was killed by a cager that l/turned in front of him while riding home on his ?busa? Just about two weeks before I bought my bike in late Nov.
Wishing and hoping to find someone else like that somewhere nearby?
Hope y?all had a great Christmas!
