    Too hot to handle

    I'm still learning about the V Max engine but I've seen coolant reservoirs and radiators on cars do this when a head gasket goes bad.Not sure about config of the water jacket on a Max engine and a lot of the time it will show up as emulsified oil in the crank case. Hopefully not that but just...

    First Gear "Creep" With Clutch Disengaged

    Thanks Steve! Makes sense on the larger bore size and more lift.I'm going to try a rebuild kit first and if that doesn't work upgrade to an FJR master .As far as heavier lever action I can handle that.I've been riding Harleys the last 25 years.lol Plus I won't have to sit at stops with the...

    First Gear "Creep" With Clutch Disengaged

    As hard as neutral is to find now I won't be doing the DD. lol!Thanks for the tip Garret. Cammer that is the ONLY way I find neutral when hot and that sometimes doesn't work for me. lol! I think I read where an FJR clutch master will work on the V Max and has a little larger bore. Not sure...

    First Gear "Creep" With Clutch Disengaged

    Thanks for the tips Fire-medic and thanks for the feedback Mike. Well I just got back from a longer ride and while the creep in first gear is gone finding neutral doesn't seem to be any easier.:bang head: Man I was hoping that problem was solved. Does anyone know if the "hard to find neutral"...

    First Gear "Creep" With Clutch Disengaged

    I agree. I got my bike in November of last year and was told that all servicing had just been done.That probably means that the reservoirs were just topped off and may have been that way since new I don't know. It was hard for me to tell just by looking into the sight glass but now that the...

    First Gear "Creep" With Clutch Disengaged

    My 05 with aprox.16,000 miles has been almost impossible to find neutral once the engine is warm and from using the "search" I guess I'm not alone. The last week or so I noticed my bike starting to creep forward in first gear while stopped with the clutch disengaged after the engine warmed up.I...
