I've read the side stand switch can cause a problem like this.

Is there any good Slip on or are they all bad?

I have Cobra slip-ons That came with the bike. I put the stock pipes on for a while and then went back to the Cobra's. I think they get a bad rap. I like them. If I had an extra 500-1000 I might consider changing the others. I like the look and like the sound.

Where can I find monkeys instructions?

Great Old bike

That is exactly what I needed. Thank you

Is it possible to re-key the fuel Tank Cap, or make it so it will work with any Key?

It does have a stage 7 kit. I'm on a tight budget. should I remove the stage 7 or try and find a less expensive exhaust?

I just purchased an 85. I got a good deal, and now I must deal with a few issues that I could use some help on. 1. The Bike will start with full choke on and stay running after running for 10 or 15 minutes it will idle without the choke but dies when you give it any throttle...

I would love to send it to Sean, as we are in Canada the freight and the border become a problem for us.

Thank you all for your Advice. Looks like I am going to take on the 85 project. The following has already been done or have been checked New fuel pump New front forks seals New front break pads New battery. Compression is good Second gear seems to be good Fluids are good I...

Looking at buying an 85 vmax, the owner put a stage 7 kit in the max without changing the exhaust. it idles fine but you must choke it to drive. The price is right. do you think it just needs an exhaust system? Would it work run with cobra slip-on's I have?

What do the relays do that improves the light?
