    Reserve Fuel Tank Operation

    Thanks Max, but the light works. It comes on for the bulb check when I'm starting the bike. I'm thinking, HOPING, it's just a bad fuel level sensor. Only problem is, I can't find one anywhere. And I damn sure don't want to have to go to the dealer and buy one!!! :bang head: I know they're gonna...

    Reserve Fuel Tank Operation

    No, the light did not come on when it shut off on me. But as soon as I switched to reserve, it started back up after a few seconds of the engine turning over. But the fuel light DOES work! So what could be causing it to shut off on normal? Bad fuel pump? Bad reserve switch? And suggestions will...

    Reserve Fuel Tank Operation

    Hey guys, got another question/issue I need help with. I'm beginning to think that my running issue isn't ignition as I originally thought. I took the bike out yesterday just to shoot it around the block and as soon as I got maybe a half mile up the road, it started cutting back like it has been...

    Possible Ignition Issue

    Hey guys, I checked my coils just today as it was the 1st chance I had from work, and found the 2 rear coils severely cracked! Haven't gotten to the fronts yet, but plan on pulling them down tomorrow. So I guess I'll be replacing coils next. Here's a picture of the coils.

    Possible Ignition Issue

    Yes, when I roll back on the throttle, it seems to get better! But when I go back to cruising speeds, it starts breaking back again. It's not a carb issue as they were just rebuilt by Danny on here! The carbs are performing awesome!! I was thinking coils or wires as well myself. Just wanted a...

    Possible Ignition Issue

    Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while cause I been too busy riding :biglaugh:. But now I have a new issue forming on my '90. Lately as I've been riding, I've noticed that at around 4,000 rpm during cruising speed, the bike will start breaking back. Feels like it's dropping 1 or even 2...

    V-Boost question

    :ummm: Hey guys, got a question for ya. How do I know if the V-Boost on my bike is actually working? Is there a way to test it somehow? Being this is my 1st Vmax, I'm still learning all the little secrets about it. Thanks.

    Rebuilt Carbs

    I just want to give a big shout-out to Dannymax for doing a freaking awesome job on my carbs!!! Got them back yesterday and installed them today and didn't even have to adjust them. Cycled the key a few times to get fuel to the carbs and hit the started and she fired right off! :punk: WITHOUT...

    How to: Fix your Vmax's low voltage or charging problems

    I just pulled the rectifier off my bike and I have the shunt style. And I also still run the coil and wire style ignition as I haven't switched to the COP mod yet. Is there a mosfet rectifier that will mount where the shunt is mounted inside the left side rear foot peg mount? Really need to get...
