I will take a video of what its doing, im confident its just me not knowing all the querks of a Vmax yet as there are zero leaks anywhere and no performance issues. Bleeding sounds like it will fix it

The travel feels good, not spongy etc its just that one time lurch forward when going into first. Doesn't do it any other shift

Fluid is clear, lines are good, no leaks,

No I haven't bled the system 2003 36,000km so maybe I will start there and see what happens

When I shift into first from a level surface she wants to lurch forward, don't get me wrong I kinda like it, simular to blower surge i guess lol but not knowing all the quirks of my bike is there something wrong?

Bike ran awesome, i could fine tune the suspension a little more and a manual switch for the fan would be nice but no real issues

All fixed just in time for payday, thought I'd suprise my g/f with a highway ride tonight paralell to the mighty Fraser River here in B.C. to the Sasquatch Pub for dinner. Disclaimer, I'm a non drinker and rode sober.

All put back together and running smooth! Could not have done this myself without the diagrams and hiw to advice from this forum, you all just gave me a confidence boost to tackle projects like this in the future. You all rock!!

You think thats bad, ever changed a starter clutch in an igloo (Canadian rider lol)

Hmmmm mine BOUGHT my ride for me ........lol. guess i caught her on a good day,

WOW!! Been asking around since I bought it, ( I'm 3rd owner) not even youtube could help but all of you answered in less than 15 min! Maybe i will pick up the phone and try to call so cal speed shop. Thank you for the info!

This signature was on it when i bought it but i have no idea on origin, tried a few bike shops but no answers does anyone have any idea?

Some progress, the local motorcycle shop said that they can piece everything back together with some new springs and three new bolts. The starter gear was reusable and undamaged,might be because i stopped riding it since i didn't know what was wrong. Should have it back tomorrow. Here's how...

Well it's off and as everyone stated it would have flown across the garage if it wasn't retained. 3 Loose bolts was the cause. Gears look good, I stopped riding it when the problem started to avoid as much damage as possible. I have all the bits together so next step is to head back to the...

According to the guides on this forum they all refer to the assembly flying across the shop when it releases tension. Seen pics of other people here zip tieing the puller to the frame to catch flying parts. Third pic is where i got the idea of the zip ties, NOT my photo, property of another...

No but it should stop the assembly from striking me or the floor when it pops free

I like the the extra plates under the bolts i will be using that later. Thanks for the correction on the bolt size i will correct that with my local parts store. As far as catching the flywheel goes i plan on using heavy zio ties on the puller to prevent parts flying. More to follow

Some progress today, have the flywheel bolt loosened and I have a good puller but waiting on the M8 x 1.5 bolts needed for the removal and follow up inspection. I'm only a novice wrench, most others would be done by now lol. Since this is my dream bike i want everything to go smooth and...

Nothing on it but here's my Alpinestars, added some more padding in the chest and back
