Any dates set? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I'm in the Norwalk area (about 30 minutes from cedar point) and would be up for a ride! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I suspected that connector as well, I might get back in there and check it out on the next rainy day... And thanks for the warm welcome! I've been reading this forum ever since I got the bike :cheers:

I figured it out. It was a combination if two problems. First, a pair of hot leads to the starter button seemed to have been rigged together by a PO and they werent even wrapped in tape, looks like he just held a.lighter to them. Anyways, got rid of that and properly spliced. But for the main...

That was one of the first thing I looked at, but now I'm wondering if I put the contacts back together backwards... gonna go check on that now.

Yep, checked all the fuses. Battery is brand new. Just replaced it a couple weeks ago when i did my R/R fix. And no, I get no power whatsoever with the key on. But my voltage levels look normal at the key harness and battery/coils.

Ah! I'll check on it when I get off work. Hopefully that's all it is...

Hmm, I'll check on the button but shouldn't I still get my headlight/neutral light when I flight the key on?

Should have mentioned it earlier, but the fuses are fine.

Greetings. So I've got another electrical problem... Went out for a 5 hour ride yesterday, about a mile from my destination I stopped at a carryout and turned off the bike. When I came back out ten minutes later, I go to turn the key on and there was no power. Puzzled, I took off the seat and...

I went ahead and followed the guide that RaWarrior wrote up and it went great! I'm now showing about 13.50v at idle and I found that nothing else was fried in the process. Thanks to all of you for the help. Definitely eases my mind to have a bit more confidence in my charging system...

Thanks for the tips guys! I'm gonna go check the voltage now and do a quick splice. I'll let you know what I find.

Howdy guys, I've got a (hopefully) simple question for you all. Can anyone identify these wires/plugs? http://imgur.com/a/MRBWf I was having some battery issues yesterday and ended up having to replace the battery as it was completely dead and wouldn't take a charge. Ended up getting stranded...

You actually have a good point. I just assumed it only had one angle it could sit at, but I might be able to move it forward a few degrees and see if that helps at all. I just sent them an email asking for some more info :eusa_dance: Depending on the cost, that might be something worth...

That's really disappointing but not a complete shock. I mean I knew I'd be getting a bit more wind at face-level, but not like this. From here I suppose I'll try some ear plugs. I just hate how those big windshields look in general, especially on a bike like this.

Alright so after reading up on the various, yet fairly limited, windshield selection for the Vmax I decided to go with a Givi A123. Well, it just came in the mail yesterday and upon opening the box I was really impressed by how much of a quality shield this seemed to be. The smoked plastic, the...

Alrighty, I went on a ride yesterday and found that it does make that same noise when decerating. I almost want to say it is the driveshaft, but I'm no expert so I can't say for sure. For now it's fine, I just was curious what could be causing it. Thanks for the help guys.

Howdy guys! I'm new here and thought I'd stop by to introduce myself. I'm from Northern Ohio and have been riding since I was a kid. Just got my first Vmax ('92, 16,500 miles) a couple weeks ago after a buddy from work told me all about his. When I took a test drive on mine, I was speechless...

Hmm, there's probably a good chance it's coming from another source. It only whines while accelerating (I'll confirm this tomorrow - didn't get a chance to ride today). Differential noise would make sense if only occuring during accel/decel, right?

Thanks for the breakdown, are these bearings known to go out? But actually, it'll only make the noise if I'm giving it gas; perfectly quiet while at a stop, in neutral, or shifting/have the lever pulled in.
