Thanks guys for the useful info. Last time i went through this, and replaced the R/R ,I ended up getting a newer fined one for better heat dispersion. If i'm not mistake , I think it was a 2003 R/R, that had a ground wire in the wiring harness. I was told to run the extra ground wire from the...

Hey Guys, I've got a problem that I cant figure out to save my life...Almost 3yrs ago, I got a 86 Yamaha Vmax with 18k on it. The guy I got it from said it would need a battery, because it was weak. Put a new battery in it , and every thing seemed fine for about 3 months.The battery started...

Thanks guys, all seems good. After getting home from a 1hr trip. I checked the temp, and it was only about 130F. I appreciate the input again :punk:

I installed the 03 voltage /R on my 86. Ran a wire to the neg battery post Everything seems to be working. Voltage to the battery is 13.90v, but I noticed the R/R is getting hot. Ran the bike for 10mins , used a laser temp gauge to check temp. With the bike @ a idle, the V/R is running about...

Hey guys, I have a 86 max. The V/R (voltage regulator) went out on my way home from work Monday, of course on I-95. I had replaced it last year with a new one from Ricks motorsports regulators. It wasn't the fined style regulator . My question is, what year regulators are compatible with my...

8/7/12 On the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Driving to US129 Deals Gap

A work in progress

I was going to say, you can pick up a compression tester for $20.00 or $30.00 bucks, but your in Hawaii. I sure you don't have a Auto Zone right around the corner there..

I didn't have enough time to check everything that I wanted to, but I did do the shotgun to the carbs, and it made a big difference. Before the bike was running @ about 50%, now its running @ about 75-80%. I noticed as I drained the bowls, rust was coming out with the gas. I flushed the bowls...

The diaphragms are good. They all move evenly when giving the bike gas. I did drain the fuel bowls just to make sure there was gas in the carbs, but I didn't check to see if there was trash in the fuel that i drained. I'll check that also. I did check to make sure there were no clogs between the...

My father, and I went there on the 7th of August. It was a blast, if it wasnt for the rain we kept running into on Blue Ridge Pkwy. I used my smart phone with a mount to record the video, but it didnt turn out as good as i had hoped. Drove from Richmond to I-64 , and picked up the park way from...

Hey Guys. I have a 86 Vmax , just got back from the Tail of the Dragon last week. Lots of fun!! Anyways, took the bike to work , no problems. on my way home, I got on I-95 and opened it up. Was in 4th gear about 7500rpm and lost power. It seems like a fuel problem . Anything above 4000 revs the...
