Hey guys thanks again for the input. I'm afraid the bike got totally ignored this weekend we did other stuff instead. My ravings maybe a bit vague sometimes and I apologize for that.:icon_rolleyes: when I mentioned that the bike runs rough and eventually dies, this is at tickover with the...

Thanks again guys, my bro will be here at my place on Friday. He doesn't have a work space so his bikes live at my house:eusa_dance:. We will endeavour to look further ! Michael

Thanks guys. Hey Miles...... my bro has owned the bike for 4 years and it was pampered before it came to us. It still has only 17,000 miles on it, and never gave any trouble at all and when he had no car the Max was his daily ride and was faultless. The problem started when he wanted a...

Vmax bonefire imminent ! Okay guys I am back again. We ran the bike until the fan came on and when the fan shut of again with the engine still running (but starting to run lumpy), we disconnected the wiring block and tested the three wires coming from the stator. With the engine running the...

Ok guys thanks again for your help. I dont think we actually tested the stator when it was warm so we have nothing to lose by giving things another try. (thanks Miles) I am pretty confident that the wiring is good as all the components and their wires and connecting blocks are new and we...

My brother and myself out and about.

Here goes guys, firstly thanks for all the help and advice. The new battery load tested perfectly which i hoped it wouldn't ! Back home we followed all the diagrams for testing the stator and r/r again and everything is as it should be. With the battery now also tested we were getting...

cheers guys, hopefully on Friday we will get the battery tested and eliminate the first piece of the puzzle. I will report back with the result ! Thanks for the help so far Michael

Thanks for the reply guys. Our major problem is that we are not great with electrical issues. Even though we have two good voltage meters, knowing how to use them properly is another issue. Is it possible for new parts to be faulty? How can we isolate which part is breaking down under load. With...

Hey guys, this Max belongs to my brother. We have followed every post and diagram on this site. The Max is 1997 and mint with low mileage and very pampered and has rarely seen rain or dirt. We bypassed the crimp and wired the new R/R directly to the battery, cleaned all earth wires, fitted...

Cheers guys, going off to have a head scratching moment and then decide what to do! Michael

Hey guys, sorry but I have another daft question for you. I have just replaced my steering head bearing and I paid good money for good Japanese bearings. There is no bottom dust seal with the bearings and unfortunaltey there is no old seal on my bike, it was just packed with grease. Haven't...

Hey guys, I need a front brake master cylinder repair kit for my 98 Max. I have tried everywhere and cannot source one for front brake. There are plenty available for the rear cylinder. If it isn't possible to get one what is my cheapest option for replacement or possible upgrade! Michael
