    1985 Vmax Losing Power then stalling

    This image takes me back. Years ago in 1987, I was working at a NAPA machine shop. I did pretty much everything from the machine work to complete engine assembly. So one day the shop foreman calls me up to his desk and I get there to find a fellow looking really pissed off. The foreman (Orin...

    Buddy, it takes all kinds. If that's the worst thing you ever find on a vehicle you bought used, consider yourself lucky.

    Cooling/overheating

    Bikes are engineered that way. The engines are small and openly exposed to air, so they get rid of heat a lot easier than a car does that has the engine in a completely enclosed area. What's more, bikes are minimal on their charging systems. Again, by design. They're NOT cars and don't need...

    Motorycle For Sale 1991 for sale

    Was it wrecked? This picture is odd: The back end, fender and all, looks like it's kicked out hard left. Either that or the sissy bar is crooked as hell somehow. The tail light also doesn't line up to the rear wheel. There's a lot of akimbo going on there.

    Cooling/overheating

    A great many people think they're overheating when they are not. They thought the same thing of the Gen 1 Vmax. It's simply not true. If your needle isn't going past redline to the actual H on the gauge, you are not overheating. It isn't an old Chevy. It's a bike. It's perfectly normal for it...

    Will do. Thanks. Nice Vette. Saw a really good looking 78-80 model coming at me on my ride today. Gave him the thumbs up and he waved as he went by. It was a real light green metallic. Definitely a custom job but just beautiful.

    I passed two Georgia State Patrols and one Sheriff's deputy that I think was far more interested in smoking his joint than he was pulling anybody over. But yeah. They were all over the place. I thought one of the GSP's had me, but I must have just not been that interesting to him. I was only...

    Cycle Gear you have to pull your wheels off and take them in I thought. I don't have a lift for my bike to do that. I'd rather have somebody do all the heavy lifting. At any rate, a glorious day for a ride. They're repaving Blood Mountain though, so there's a long delay for them letting either...

    I need new tires, just been putting it off. Frankly, I have no idea where I'm going to take my bike to get them put on. Two Brothers aren't around anymore and everybody else has really ****** reviews.

    Probably heading to Blood Mountain in the morning if any of you guys are up for it.

    Parts Wanted Looking for COPs setup

    And if you ever find yourself in a lake, drop the ballast. It'll help you float.

    Parts Wanted Looking for COPs setup

    That has nothing to do with your ignition. That has to do with fuel delivery. The reason it stumbles when you punch it is the engine is literally running out of gas. When you open the throttle the butterflies open wide instantly letting in a ton of air. If you're not getting proper fuel flow...

    How to build a vmax trike

    Now that's an interesting take on the backrest. I like it. Is it also storage? (It looks like a converted storage container and if so that's positively brilliant.)

    LED headlight conversion '99 Max

    Let's review one more time: Fact is, just about every car ever sold in Austria and Germany since 2004 that uses an H7 or H4 bulb is OK to upgrade to LED. Not a few. Not less than 10%. Essentially ALL of them.
