Okay well, sometimes I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone... Which I'm watching right now... The old one from, in the case of this episode, December 1959.... But here's what happened.... Two weeks ago the starter clutch failed to turn over and start the bike. It had always...

Well, I can try.... Although I have some doubts that they or he would be very receptive to all those instructions....assuming that he/they even fully understood them... The head mech is very sure of himself... Even when he told me his stock CB750K weighed in at 700 pounds... which, of...

Interesting... I had the bike picked up and they said the starter clutch was "shot"... I tried starting it in the shop and sure enough, even with the higher temps in the shop it would start to turn over and then let go and spin.... Funny since it worked with no problems for the last two months...

Well, the problem isn't electrical... It's the starter clutch.... Same trouble I have had with at least two other bikes in the cold... The starter clutch is soaking in cold oil so when you try to start it the small rods or teeth don't have a chance to deploy and grab the outer housing of...

Well the temps are super low here....and Max has been having trouble starting...due to the thickened oil stopping the starter clutch from engaging.... Question: Would it be safe to use a 50/50 mix of 10 weight oil with 5 weight oil? Someone suggested that 10 weight is the lowest weight...

I think it has enough power to generate a spark but not sure if the starter clutch will engage...and I don't have time to mess around with pulling the rack off and the seat and I'd have to pull my other battery to charge that to get this one going... I should have put lower weight oil in it but...

Hmmm... I don't even bother with official flying fields... And helis are even easier for me to find places because they are VTOL... I gave up on balsa/wood/gas models years ago and converted to foam electrics... EPO mainly... I didn't like foam/electrics at first but then found them...

Oh, cool....a fellow flyer/rider... Yeah I was ready for cold but this is out of the park... Where in Jersey are you? Maybe we can meet up sometime.... I have a giant heli kit I have been putting off building.... I stopped flying helis altogether for a while because they're too easy...

Ah yeah good old Dean's.... I use them on all my drones... I had thought about using them on my other bike at one point but it just didn't become that important... I would change over to another type of connector now XT or something a little more refined...though, Deans are a bit outdated...

Thanks for the info.... Taking the seat off is a major PITA due to the Corbin seat and my fabbed luggage rack.... Sounds like it needs a mod where I can have a hot side terminal/connector available under the airbox cover.... a much easier point of access... Taking this seat off is nuts...

Where's the solenoid?

I think that's $7.50 for the Whitestone, Throgs Neck or the Triboro, no? But to go to Newark Airport from Westchester, it's around $33 in tolls depending on how you go, or more from Long Island... And they're all running low on funds... What a crock... And the roads are...

Haven't had this bike too long so forgive the noob question please.... Where is the easiest, fastest place to: A. Get a quick jump start connection... B. Get easy access for charging... On my other bikes I could get cables on the bike in seconds... With this bike it doesn't look so easy...

Well there's a +1 for the Police Max... lol I had a similar benefit when I used to drive a plain looking Crown Vic with tinted windows... I'd pass a cop on the side of the road fast enough to pull some paint off his car, seeing him at the last second, I'd wave, and he'd scratch his head and...

Thanks for all the offers... Please forgive me for not jumping on one right off... I just spent my allowance on new shocks so between that and the holidays, I'll need a few days to recover.... That last one looks like a Max doing an impression of a Police bike, which isn't really what I...

It'll be awhile before I get around to doing the carbs and exhaust, but I figure I'll post this now since I just learned what I have... I was going through the giant binder that came with my, now two month old 1993, Max... I discovered this jet kit was installed some time ago along with the...

Thanks for the help... I'm still trying to decide what I want... I've read people's posts and comments about these and it sounds like there is no perfect solution.... I've never had a shield on my bikes and I don't really know what it's like... Today it was 20 something degrees, and will be...

My two cents: Everything is made in China.... Okay, not everything but damn close... Target, Walmart, etc.... All or mainly all Chinese stuff... Even, and this is fairly new, Japanese companies are farming stuff out....to China.. Japan stuff made in China... Wow! In my experience...

Thanks for the thoughts.... What is the "stock fly catcher"? I'm surprised there isn't more or anything really made just for Max.... It's not that rare of a bike I wouldn't think...

Hey all, I was about to grab a windscreen and realized that my setup doesn't look very standard at least as far as most bikes go.... The location of the bars, headlight and turn signals is just different from what I can see.... So, I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions for...
