Hey guys i havent posted on here in a very long time.... sold my vmax a few years ago but i have kept in touch with the new owner. He needs new brake pads and i honestly cant remember what calipers are on the bike. They were upgraded to 6 pot calipers but not sure what bike and the motorcycle...

Im stumped!! Ive never had an issue with this bike since i bought it minus a VR burning up. I recently went to start it after it sat for a month or maybe more and found it absolutely would not run with out the choke being on and any throttling just killed the motor. Keep in mind i road the bike...

Bikes been sitting for quite a while, and it didnt want to stay running unless the choke was on so i figured id pull the carbs and go thru them real good Its been a while since i rebuilt my last carbs and i may have forgotten somethings, anyhow... i ended up breaking the small brass bolt that...

Well i cooked my R/R.... not sure if this is a normal way for these to go:ummm: I found a new one online for $40 so its not a big dent in my pocket book, but i just dont want this to happen again. Im curious if something else electrically could have caused this problem? Bike still runs fine...

I guess i had to go down sometime.... just didnt think it would be from hitting the brakes to hard:damn angry: I was just coming into town and crossed through an intersection doing around 45mph and the cars in front just suddenly hit there brakes, i hit mine and was slowing down when suddenly my...

Hey guys, on my new vmax i got a back rest, but im not to keen on the look so i unbolted the backrest part..... but now it also looks kinda funny without it. Does anyone make a grab handle that bolts in place of the backrest piece? Thanks jason

So after the guy told me he didnt want to sell the bike i was sad... very very sad, but then i recieved a text the next night... and he said he was ready to sell it now and if i still wanted it i could come and get it!!! So i rented a motorcycle trailer and the next day i drove 7hrs to LA...

WEll my almost year long battle with tuning my carbs has come to a CONCLUSION!!! I gave up... and sent my carbs to Sean to get another opinion( a professional one) on my carbs. Basically.... the PO had done a rebuild on the carbs at one point and used a klien rebuild kit... or something like...

Okay... where to begin... umm lets see almost a year ago i bought my vmax and had it about 3 weeks when i decided to paint and clean and fix it up a bit, new bearings, brakes......ect ect ect i also pulled the carburetors to clean them since it had been sitting a while and ever since then... it...

So i just got my bike running again and after coming home from just getting gas, i was pushing my bike into my shop when i heard a noise in my differential.... sounds basically like a ball bearing is riding around in there!! as i push it every now and then i heard the distinct noise of a small...

Hello to anyone who would like to share their opinion. Well my boss's son has a 2001 Suzuki TL1000s thats been sitting in his garage since about 03' cause he layed it down and never fixed it. Only problems are cosmetic, and one muffler got ripped off. But the bike only has 2200 miles on it...

Well after doing my front brake upgrades i was very happy(busa clipers, galfer pads, galfer floating wave rotors) I put about 1200milesw on them when one day they started pulsing at low speeds when i slow down. Feels like warped rotors to me, but im not sure how to verify that forsure. Glafer...

Well on top of my midrange flat spot i now found that if i hold 8-9krpm for too long my engine sounds like it runs outa gas!:bang head: Today i was doing some testing and remembered since powder coating a bunch of parts i forgot to properly ground my rectifier(so i removed powder coating where...

Well im still trying to get my bike tuned... but no luck, and on top of trying to tune it i dont even know if im running rich or lean??? my plugs are grey... not tan or white... just grey. Almost like they look when new... why? jason

Okay well im finally back after my month long vacation........ and im ready to get this bike running right!!! So lets recap... my bike ran good from idle to 4k then sputtered and ran like crap till 6.5-7k so i added another spring to my slides to slow them down from opening to quick and i was...
