So I've now got about 300 miles on it. It's been monsoon season here in PA apparently. Took it to work the other morning and noticed that the lighting will dim slightly and brighten back up, rinse and repeat. I'm hoping y'all aren't gonna point directly at stator or regulator. I'm thinking it's...

I'm getting there. Had the master cleaned out and replaced all the fluid again Sunday afternoon. Synced the carbs again that evening, and took her for a 70 mile shake down today. Idles good, revs good, derevs good, shifts good. Clutch is working great. Fan is not kicking in. Was just...

It was def the bleed back hose in the master. Thank you Radioguy. I had pulled the slave when I first got the bike. It was good. No need to work on it, just cleaned and put back together. It is the OEM hose on the bike (probably not the original it's too clean for the bikes history). It was...

I did have to bleed the clutch to get it working. It bled right up So I just did as you said and almost got fluid in my eye!! I will be rebuilding the master. Is it possible that the hose is bad? Similar to a brake hose?

Lmao. Let the bike cool and I can put it in 2nd and let the clutch out and hold the bike back.. I put shell 15w 40 in yesterday. Could it be the oil?

Dead on the side of the road. Clutch slipping so bad I can almost idle the bike. Checked the thread on clutch issues. There's a link for tear down and it tells me that it's forbidden??

Yes. Sloppy is slow to respond off idle, sometimes it doesn't decelerate as fast as I think it should, kinda hangs. Mid and high range is super smooth. So I'm sure they need resynced, but the idle response I thought, and was assuming someone was going to say pilots😐. Was really hoping not to...

So, with a lot of help from you guys I got my 85 VMax running finally. However the low end throttle response is real sloppy (carbs rebuilt, and synced ( they are pretty close. Imma check that at the garage again tomorrow)). She is dripping constantly from the water pump weep hole (rebuild?). And...

Ok. So I've decided after what I can find that the ignitech is going to be the way to go. I want to keep the bike as stock as possible until I decide if I'm going to keep it or make money on it ( I'm not above trading this thing for v65 and/or some cash) I'm having trouble finding the...

Thanks for the info so far. I shoulda joined the forum day one! I been running off motorcycle and carb 101 info from all the old cbs, kzs, wings, magna's, and what not I used to have. It's nice to have specific targeted info. I must say tho, I wish this thing had points and condenser. Woulda...

Didn't notice all the do not use. Used the gasket kits from eBay. All the brass is good in the carbs. Was just dirty. The main is jetted (I think 152.5) and there's a k&n in the air box. I'm on a budget, as my wife is not speaking to me over this bike, for over a month now. She "doesn't...

It's got a bad cdi box. No spark front left spark on first crank front right. Coils good. Pick ups are all between 115 and 121 ohms (depending on which meter I check with). So I guess I'm looking for someone to give me info on rebuilding cdi box, or where I can get one that I know is good

Hey all! Recently grabbed this off a friend of my old mans. Been sitting in garage for a few years. Bike had sputtered out mid trip guy was not a mechanic. This sucker has 94k miles on it! In very good shape for the milage, and at some point was owned or worked on by a decent mechanic...
