Hi everyone,
My name is Jake and I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm posting this in the right spot. I have a 95 vmax that I'm having issues with. There is a bad rattle coming from what sounds like the left lower side of the motor. I replaced the starter clutch but the noise is still there. I've tried doing some research on what else it could be but can't find anything. I'm hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction. The file size is to big to post a video. Ill try to figure it out and post one if I can. My worry is I need a new motor. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but the bike has a lot of sentimental value to me. The bike used to be my dads but it took his life in 2008. They found him out in a field still holding onto the bike like he tried to ride it out and save it as long as he could. He loved his vmax more than anything. After the accident I fixed it up and have been riding it ever since. I've had a couple issues with it here and there but nothing major. The thing is most of the cosmetics I had to switch out because of damage so the motor is the only thing left that I feel has a part of him in it and when I wrap my legs around it I feel like we are riding together again. If I have to swap the motor out then basically its just another bike. Thanks for reading and I appreciate your feed back in advance. Hopefully we can get'er back on the road soon.
