anyone recommend a particular brand for a 4-pack? gonna take my first stab at the carbs

Boom!- she fired up-thank y’all so much for the assists, hope I can return the help some time. Now to see if she runs any better. If it ever stops raining!

Dumb question-could the direction of new fuel filter affect anything?- and is “in” supposed to be facing gas cap or carburetors?

Good thought! Will try that today. The fuel level sensor is just a :drain-pull-replace deal eh?

Thank you-I though of the fuel level sensor too late. Should be a fairly easy fix I think?- didn’t think that would affect bikes ability to pull fuel? Gonna try all the other stuff today

Can you tell me where that is? thank you so much and I’m gonna try all this today. Question-the vboost also makes clicking type noises when key is turned on correct. Is there a noticeable difference to the fuel pump noise? Thanks again

...and after a few cranking attempts the fuel pump would get the system rolling again right? i used the POR15 cleaning/sealing system and im worried the sealer clogged something?-but i kinda assumed that it wouldnt be a useable product if it did that. dying to ride!

This is embarrassing but I took tank out ( tank and filter full of rust), de-rusted,degreased, metal-prepped and sealed. Waited appropriate time. Filled w gas. Bike won’t start. ( ran before project). I neglected to note proper fuel line connections before pulling. Do I have this backwards?- I...

That looks awesome! Do you know if I can buy that somewhere?- so I can attempt it. -I also had know idea you could put a tire that size on a 1st gen vmax. Is that w everything else stock? Looks great

Thank you!

bought an old '98 and its painted in an almost rubber looking textured paint that is kinda scratched up in places. is this an actual stock color/texture? can you buy it somewhere for touch up?-cant find online

no idea how many ppl have owned my recently purchased '98, but at some point someone put on a cheap passenger back rest w cheap built in led turn signals that basically fell apart as im trying to restore bike. i see there are gen 2 integrated tail light /turn signals available-anyone done it on...

thanks all!-so i forced the fuel filter apart and it was full of rust. can you clean these and re-assemble? do i need to glue it where it goes together?-or should i just buy one? (i ask cause my total investment is climbing and climbing!)

thanks!-can you recommend a video or walkthrough for fixing/replacing stripped vmax 2nd gear?

Thank you so much. This forum has been awesome and everyone’s helped me a ton. I’ve decided to go ahead and take her all apart again. If I can get the tank out and fixed and carbs figured out then I should be able to finally ride it!-that’ll just leave the stripped 2nd gear to deal with. That...

ok cool-thank you.-when you say 'coat the tank'-what is typically swirled around in tank? is it just rubbing alcohol or something?

was gonna try filling tank w evapo-rust, drain, rinse and fill w gas-without removing tank. has anyone tried this? really trying to avoid the PIA project of removing-again!

Wow-thank you so much for the info. I knew I was in for a whole new experience w 4 carbs ( single carbs or fuel injection only in the past)- I hadn’t gotten around to fuel filter but that’ll be next. If the tank looks clean would it be safe to run some sea foam or fuel cleaner first to see if it...

thanks for the help y'all. w these posts i figured out a way to look down the shaft housing and use a wire through top hole, to hold joint up to return splines/shaft to its proper place. -i took a leap of faith w buying this bike (my first Max-friend of a friend kind of thing).spent the last...
