    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    I'm happy to say that I got my fuel gauge setup working the way it should. The only difference between my setup and KJ's is that I had to also install a Fuel Gauge Wizard along with the sending unit. Three additional wires to wire in. One to the ignition, the sending unit, and the other to...

    Question about 85 front forks

Minda hard for me to put into words, but that's the kind of flat black I'm looking for. Thanks and appreciate...

    It pops? '85 vmax

    Check Ya carb boots as Mr. Max said. Mine didn't seem to have leaks either, but they were hard as rock. After changing them out (top and bottom), problem solved. No more popping. Wish Ya luck

    New to me Max and a few questions

    I ran into a lot of the same issues you are currently running into. The popping issues I solved by replacing all of the rubber goods sealing the carbs. Mine were hard and I had numerous air leaks causing a lean issue. Put on the new rubber and synced. No more popping sounds. Another error...

    Throttle tube length

    Anyone know the throttle tube length for an 85 model? I did a search but couldn't actually find a definite length. Got a pair of grips I've been looking at and I don't want to do what I did last time and order some that are too short. Appreciate the help.

    Anodized clutch and brake levers

    Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to purchase different colored anodized clutch and brake levers? All I've been running across are ones made for the 2nd Gen Max. Thanks.

    castle nut

    Anyone kknow off hand what the castle nut size is on the rear axle of a 85 model. I'm thinking around 27 or 28, but not sure. Search didn't turn up a size and one of my nephews borrowed my socket set so I got a few missing. Thanks

    Louisiana riders out there?
