My father and I have acquired a 1997 VMAX that we were told had an issue with the oil pump or oil pressure.
We have begun to dive into inspecting the bike and seeing what is going on with it to determine the best course of action to get it back on the road.
According to the seller, the bike has a lot of miles on it and had an issue with the oil pressure and thats all be really knew. We bought it with an 85 VMAX that has been downed which we will begin working on next.
I found this post: Three years in storage - resurrection procedure? and we started down the checklist.
We have now learned that there is a drain plug where you would install and oil pressure gauge that is missing and would like to see if any of you have recommendations on how to proceed. We were thinking of installing an oil pressure gauge and moving forward with checklist, fresh fluids / flush systems etc.
Any thoughts or recomendations?
