    Well that's one way to find out fuel light and reserve don't work.

    Just hanging out on a country road waiting for the wife to bring me fuel. PO told me fuel light was dim but didn't say that the fuel light just didn't work AT ALL and neither does the reserve switch.

    rear brake light. whats available?

    what is available for the rear brake light? the only thing that i don't like about it, is it sticks out past the fender. i would much rather it be under the fender, or flush with the edge of the fender. i think i'm gonna have to go with something that is universal fit. led is an option.

So I intend to re-install the original LED brake light and found one in AMAZON with the remark: not to be used for Vmax...

    Radiator side reflector. Does it light up?

    I bought a couple of used radiator side covers from a member here and they have what appear to be electrical wires coming out of the yellow reflectors. It seems to me that there might be a light in there that goes on when you turn on the flashers. My 86 bike's covers didn't have these wires...

    How to wire a little LED light to V-boost/t-boost switch?

    Hey guys, rookie electrical question here- I have a nice little red led light, just a single led ready for 12v. I wanted to mount it next to my t-boost switch so when it's off, and the vboost activates at the stock 6000rpm. Then when I flick the switch to the 3000rpm activation mode, the led...

    Light Throttle/Cruise Carb Issues

    My '85 has some issues at light throttle/cruise especially in higher gears/heavier load. The bike is stock other than the 4 into 4 Cobra slip-ons. I pulled the carbs and cleaned them, replaced a coast enricher diaphragm that was bad, jetted it down to 147.5 base on Sean's advice due to the...

    Hey guys, Spring is upon us here in Canada and I had my bike outside for most of the winter (but it was winterized and covered). The problem is the rear tire/disc ended up not being completely covered and there is now light rust covering the rear disc. Should I take some steel wool and...

    Another LED Brake/tail light option

    I saw this LED tail/brake light without integrated turn signals though for the max. It is plug and play as wiring harness included. They will even put the oem connectors for your specific application on the harness (for a fee) otherwise you have to put the ends on yourself. Only drawback is the...

    Low oil indicator light

    Hello all, Noticed that my "Oil Level" indicator lights comes on for second or two when I am really hitting it on the throttle. While I understand that nailing the throttle makes me and the bike pull a few g's, I thought I'd ask the combined experience of the forum if there is any other...

    LED light kit

    I was thinking about adding a LED light accent kit to the bike. Once I started shopping, I quickly got confused. :ummm: There are so many kits available, I'm not sure what way to go. Has anybody added LED's to their bikes? Any help on helping me make a decision will be appreciated.:punk:

    Popping at Cruise and Light Throttle

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the Vmax. I picked up my '85 with about 18k mile on it. It had very poor idle quality, bogged in between shifts and bucked and popped at cruise. I did the shotgun and it made a huge difference, but there are still some issues. The idle is erratic...
