Thanks Dave, I'll bet you're right, it was the PO and not me. I haven't ridden the bike that hard yet. A few pulls to the rev limitter thats about it. Sean is going to hook me up with something else, and then I should be good to go for a few more miles :biglaugh:. The VMax has been a love hate...

well its official, if you want to find out if something is going to break on your bike, just let me ride it.

yes it does, but louder and has a kind of hollow thunking sound.:bang head:

thanks naughty. In a word...Damn.

Any of you guys experience anything like this? When I downshift into second from third, I get a knocking sound, it just started two days ago and is getting worse quickly, I stopped using second because it is starting to happen on the up shift as well. It only happens in second, there is no...

No Pics on this one, but rode in to work today, and got completely lost on the way home. And it was kinda cool, to cruise around on the back roads of pa, with no where to be or go at any time.

Just checked the valve clearances on the rear head. It looks like some are out of spec. not sure if that would cause the noise I have. #1 Cyl Intake .005 and .005 Exhaust .010 and .008 #3 Cyl. Intake .004 and .005 Exhaust .009 and .009 Looks like I could adjust the exhaust...

The mod monkey and I are old friends.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas, feedback, and help. The noise can be heard without the scope, its loud. I used the scope, to pin point where the noise is coming from. I've scoped the whole engine, and the noise is loudest at the #3 cyl. I pulled each plug wire with no change in the...

I love WOT, the sound, and the torque are addicting, and the speed scares the crap out of me.

I tried that and there was no change in the noise. I'll double check that today. Thanks for help, and the compliment.

Yep, I'm running 20W 50 as of a couple of weeks ago, and the motor is new to me. So I don't know if it made these noises before.

:bang head: Here are some vids of my motor knocking sound. I think its a wrist pin or a rod bearing. But before I do something dumb, expensive, and time consuming I thought I'd throw this out here for you guys to take a look at, and see if you have any suggestions. the noise is always there...

Hey All, Just wanted to pass this on, I've been troubleshooting a low charge problem on the max. I've been reading posts and was leaning towards a battery. BUT, everything on my bike is new, battery, RR etc... someone posted this in a thread...

First, I'm not an expert at this, but I have rebuilt a vmax motor using Damon's video from ebay. (my motor didn't last long. I think I should have checked a few other things during the build.) +1 on Sean's oil kit. With that being said. RH block numbers equal journal numbers, for the engine...

Yeah, I was looking at that one too, I've read the bike wobbles a bit when up in the air. It seems like I'm making a habit of pulling motors, I'm worried about it being unstable while doing that. I have have heard the lift is great for changing both tires etc...

anybody have one of these? http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-motorcycle-lift-68892.html what do you think about it?
