Hi, I have a 1989 vmax with starting/staying on issues, I’m in the process of testing fuel compression and spark, while I was looking at the carbs I noticed one of the carb pins that pulls out for the choke was stuck, the rest open fine, I was wondering what the procedure would be to get this...

Hi, Ive been having a issue with my valve cover leaking a ton of oil ever since I checked valve clearances, I purchased new gaskets but they still leaked so I got refunded and purchased some OEM ones, now these oem ones (26H-11193-01-00) have a line inbetween the valve halves, so it would be...

Hi, I recently did an oil change on my vmax and also replaced the neutral position sensor with a new one and a new O ring. It has been working fine but I now noticed it is leaking what I’d consider a good amount of oil, my question is next steps, will I need to buy new jug of oil so I can get...

Its both that bothers me, but im mainly worried its going to ruin internals like the transmission. But I guess I would say the clunking is what worries me the most. I do have a new clutch set with the half plate so when I crack it open ill see how it goes then. Thank you.

I have not

reading done after bike sits for a while, also the running temp is a low idle speed recording not sure if that’ll make a voltage difference, I’ll give the rest a try, sparking is no longer there

I bought this bike not too long ago buts it’s always been there since purchase, roughly 1-2k miles ridden

I changed the spark plugs and it’s Been turning on fine for a week or so, then the problem has come back, videos included of a cold and hot start That video above is a cold start The video above is a hot start, To me the hot start sounds like a starter going bad but I am unsure why on cold...

I just did a oil change 15w-40 rotella t4 as many have said works greats, it feels as the downshifting has gotten smoother but the up shifting is still pretty clunky, I’m thinking it has to be the clutch springs? But I am unsure, my guess is the clutch isn’t disengaging properly

Will do that today, Thank you.

oh Apologies I did not know, Ill give them a call later today. Thank you

Is that the phone number for MadMax? If so I wouldnt want to call them unless they gave me permission, but thank you, Ill see if I can ask him specifically

Hi, Ive posted quite a few posts on my 1989 vmax, Todays current issue is difficulty shifting. Usually gears are clunking into place under load but perfectly shift at a slow speed. I initially thought clutch but as I purchased a new clutch Ive realized that that shouldnt be the issue, due to the...

Yes, choke all the way opened

Posting this update for any onlookers that may be able to help, I cleaned the carbs and they looked fine, I cleaned a very dirty air filter it had, bike runs phenomenal once it’s on, it seems to be solely starting issues, it’s a new battery and R/R and it cranks fine just doesn’t turn on, any...

Another thing I noticed was two of these drain screws are leaking, Is there a gasket involved with these?

The leads and caps seem to be new, no cracks and everythings clean, I put proper vacuum caps and the bike doesnt send that spark out anymore and it idles much better, the old caps had holes in them, It still struggles quite a bit to start up initially and makes a loud bang, but once its started...

Apologies, seems like with the compression it makes the spark pretty hard to see, Ill attempt to drain the gas and look at it The spark is coming from this port (picture attached) the one with the black cap on it, in the video there's a quick flash, it happens consistently while running.

Hi, my 1989 vmax has been running fine until recently it’s been giving me issues to start, it’ll crank for a while and eventually make a loud bang as if all the gas just ignited, when it does turn on there’s a spark on the vacuum ports and it idles incredibly rough, I would wondering what steps...

Used a Multimeter on the current battery, it read 0 volts, Checked the meter and it seems to be working fine, Could this just be that I completely destroyed the battery and thats the issue? I wouldnt have a colored diagram of the wiring
