Hi All, I own an 88 Vmax which for the past year or so has an intermittent starting issue. I keep the battery on a trickle charger so usually have plenty of power to start. I'm pretty sure it's a faulty fuel pump. When I try and start it, it won't kick until the fuel pump starts ticking, then...

Hi all, about a month ago I went to fire up my vmax (had been sitting since last summer when I ruptured my achilles) and it started leaking fuel from the fuel pump - it looks like the plastic housing has deteriorated. This is actually the 2nd time it's happened, the first time as a result of...

Hi All, Anybody have a water pump bearing go out on the max? I have a tapping that has started. when at idle it is noticeable, under rpm I can hear it a little but the motor sounds seem to cover it up. it seems to be slowly getting worse. I put a mechanics stethoscope on the motor and the...

I had a question about a fuel pump relay operation from a member and had a unused VMax fuel pump relay, so I dissected it. I hope this wasn't sacrilegious. Not sure how the Omron component in rear works. I did a search for it and didn't come up with anything definite. Pictures are just for...

Hey guys...Got a call from my dealer here in Okinawa today. There's been a recall due to an oil pump problem. Have you heard anything on this in the US? I've searched the internet and can't find anything on it.
