Like the title says, this is the fourth V-Max I've owned in my life. It's a 1993. I've nailed the throttle a few times and it feels much more stable than the 1999 I just sold. Strange.
Anyway, I'm doing the basics with limited funds. I've purchased:
- New clutch disk set and gasket ordered, but not required yet... but will be
- New valve cover gaskets (mine leaking)
- New iridium spark plugs
- In-line fuel filter
- COPs ignition caps and wires (from R6, making my own)
- Fresh engine oil and final drive gear oil change
- Will replace the air filter soon
- Ran a 1/2 can of Duralube fuel system cleaner through one tank
- New rear tire installed (old one was square and bald in the middle - no idea how that happens :biglaugh
- Carb synchronizer set is being shipped - will sync the carbs when it arrives
The only other mod I can think of that I would like to do is install Progressive springs in the front.
