motor

I got the Delrin motor mounts a long time ago, put in the front four and liked it. Now I am installing a set of Supertrapp slip-ons, so while the cans were off I thought I'd get the rear two motor mounts replaced with the last two Delrins. Can't do it. I don't know what it's hanging up on, the...

I'm getting married this Saturday and our photographer said she would do some pics of us and the Vmax, and that means getting her cleaned up (talking about the bike):biglaugh:. The last owner rode it on dirt, and its still got some grunge in all the nooks of the motor. I heard simple green was...

HI Guys, would anyone know of any problems with replacing the motor in a 89 v-boosted max which has a compression of 10.5:1 with a euro 100hp motor which has a compression of 11.5:1, and conncet it to v-boost. I'm gonna be trying this out very soon as the orginal motor is very sick and needs...

Hey guys, it's been a while, a long long winter to be exact. So today was mild so I decided to break the VMax out of cold storage and take it for a spin up the road. First stop sign all I smell is fuel and I turn right around and head back, total trip: 1 mile or a little less. Back in...

:confused2:thanks again for all advice.im looking at a 2002 engine with 11,000 miles.will this motor bolt in my 97 frame? thanks

I mean srsly. I sat and stared at it like I was 13 looking at a playboy centerfold for a good 45 minutes last night in the garage. Beautiful engine.

The person before me removed the paint on the motor on my Vmax.Any tips on painting the motor without removing it?I was thinking of using an air brush, but not sure of what type of black paint to use so it would stick and not discolor from the heat. Thanks again

Got my March Copy today. Article is entitled: ABSOLUTE POWER Star V-Max VS. Suzuki B-King Seems like a pretty fair comparison though I have some questions about their horse power data. Maybe their test bike is not broken in yet 166.9 @8750 rpm Corrected 1/4 mile times: B-King 10.13...

Sean, you may have heard this already but there's a dead link on your site where you click on the picture of the VMax engine. The other links on the picture are working. Blaine Williams

All, Abe and I need your help on a few things. Should we put solid motor mounts on this bike? I am doing this on my drag bike, but I didn't know how much vibration this causes and if the frame strengthing out-weighs the negatives. I personally like to "feel" the bike, just as long as parts...

My starter off my 85 project bike wouldn't turn or spin or do anything with current applied to it, so I figured I couldn't hurt it if I tore into it. Well, here is what I found. The brush springs are rusted and one was broken. I think the starter would work if I was able to get new brushes...

my 86 has various series of numbers and letters hand engraved in about 6 places on my bike.Does anyone else have these and what do they represent.

Anyone know em? Im talking length width height If im not mistaken around 225 pounds right?

I may be crazy but the noise coming from my motor when it is between 3000-3500 rpms sounds like a cricket chriping.Only between that specific rpm.:ummm: ANY THOUGHTS OUT THERE!!!:bang head: FRED

What is the best and fastest way some of you have found to clean the motor on the vmax and leave it shiny?? Went in the garage and the motor was dusty/dirty from sitting through winter and thought to myself shit thats going to take a while :damn angry: . I don't think it would be a good idea to...

Does anyone have the part number for the Venture solid motor mounts?

Just thought I'd post this here, as I assume that this is where most people lurk about! :rofl_200: Mine has died (reference this thread). I desperately need a working starter motor if anyone has one kicking around, or can point me to a cheap one somwhere. I'm in UK, and new ones from US with...

Ok I just got done building my motor. The bike fired up fine but measuring temp the right rear cyl ran hot went up to 380F. All the other cyl are fine running at 180 220 at idle. I checked cam timing which is good. What may this be or what do I need to check? Thanks Yankee

What you think is the better option for new motor mounts, the solid ones or the Delrin?
