question

Good morning all, I posted a while ago asking about where I could find 1" lowering springs for my Max and once again the forum came through. I am ready to order my parts for upcoming riding season and get down to business. I am ordering the following: Drag bars shift light gel pad for a...

OK, I've been lusting for a Vmax since I rode a friends way back in 1992. Just bought a 2002 with under 9k miles Tuesday night. :biglaugh: Had to haul it home in a blizzard but 2 days later it was 70 degrees! What can I say, it's Nebraska. My question is, is there a pouch etc on a Vmax to...

I had Danny do a carb scrubbing for me, So all my internal stuff is as it should be. I have a morleys carb kit with marks 4-1. I'm kinda starting over with my adjustments because each carb seemed to have a mind of its own. That why I had Danny go through them. So I put them on a week ago, and...

Hi Everybody, I can't believe that I purchased my latest Max 6 months ago and only just realized that it has a "pass" switch/button next to the high beam switch. sure none of my others have had this but can't find anything out about it??? It seems like a European thing maybe. It simply flashes...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. One that I suppose can be easily answered with "Just try a trip for yourself." But I figured I would pose it here. How practical is a VMax for a long road trip? Let's say I live in St. Louis.... and I want to make a trip to the Barber Vintage Museum on my '93 VMax...

Ok guy's I hate to ask this 1. Can some 1 tell me what is the size allen key that fits my 1992 front forks top screw caps. I can not find this info online. I'm not trying to buy the hole allen socket key kit when all I need is 1. All I need is the right 1, I can order it online.

Wanted to do the COPS Mod. Got the COPs and the harness to mod but was wondering how folks are dealing the the rubber plug wire snubber that holds the plug wire firm. The COPs require a bigger hole. thought about just cutting it out but don't want to do trial and error on the only 4 I have...

Why does a 240 tire on a Gen 2 negatively affect the power output versus the stock 200 tire if they are very similar in diameter?? Have seen multiple cases where the bike put out less rwh with a 240 and am not understanding why?

So I bought the synchronizer below. I got it hooked up, started the bike...and the needles jump all over the place. Impossible to do anything with this. I did some searching and found a couple old vids of guys using this and having to run the bike at 4k to smooth the guage out enough to us...

Can some tell me what is the positive and negative wires, for 1 through 4 cylinder coil wiring. And what side of the coil sticks would be + or - I went up to the junk yard for car parts and found they had few wreck motorcycles. I pick up 14 sets of 4 coil sticks and found 6 sets was 3.0...

Hey all, I am making my own harnesses for the Coil over plugs I bought of ebay. I am using a set of R1 COPs and part of the deal was the R1 harness was included. I used the R1 female plugs for the COP ends and the vmax coil plugs for the other side (mine had some cracks so I decided to cut...

At the range yesterday my Ruger SR9 jammed while ejecting a shell casing. This happened a couple more times, I think I shot around 80 rounds. I've shoot roughly 500 rounds since buying this gun a couple of months ago. It's performed perfect until today. I field strip and clean after every range...

Are there any decent Australian based max forums out there ! Only found one but it looks pretty dead...

Hi all: I hope all of you had a great New Year's Eve and are ready for 2014! I've got a question about clutch master cylinders...I'm basing this question on the fact that different brake master cylinders exert different "fluid pressures". Can any of you recommend a "powerful" clutch master...

I just bought an RC wheel simular to the UFO "max daddy" wheel. 18 inches, and 5.5 across. I know with radial tires, you need to keep the same "kind" of tires....IE a Touring tire front and rear, or a track tire front and rear. I will be keeping my stock front wheel, so I'm limited as to the...

Just about every nut and bolt on my 20 year old VMax is corroded or rounded. Thats probably from being in the tropics. Anyway, was changing the coolant, and the allen screws on the cylinder heads were rounded off. I read in the instructions that I need to remove those to drain the coolant in...

Is this just a big motorcycle rally or do they have a local race track and drag race for the event too? Going to really try to get the time off of work this year to go but if there is drag racing I'll just trailer my bike but if not I'll ride down. Just don't want to break a driveshaft or...

Hi everyone: I hope you all are doing well and staying warm. I've got a question regarding a brake master cylinder I found in my parts pile: It's got one of those remote round brake fluid holders that attaches to the m/c via a tube. On the m/c itself, the risen text reads "Nissin" on one...

Why does the tank vent pipe have such a tiny restrictor hole on the end? I ask because I sort of filled mine up a bit with Red Kote when I was treating tanks. I guess I let it sit the wrong way a little too long, and the excess didn't drip out of there. I've reamed it out with a violin string...
