I hear ya, Ive had it happen in 1st and 2nd gear. In 2nd just cruising then snap the throtle and up the wheel goes, not too sure how high, as it still freaks me out a bit, and I weigh in at 215lbs, :punk:

Tried that with no luck, this cover seems to be freaking welded on, I had no problem taking the middle gear, and clutch cover off.. Bottom right side of the stator cover is a hole, I grabed onto that section and tried pulling no luck. Ron

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove an altenator cover that will not budge, yes all the screws have been removed, there is no oil or coolant in the bike so I cant start her up to warm things. I tried with a heat gun but no luck thanks, Ron :ummm:

yes it was removed Shawn

The plates have little indents, dots on them, not really sure what a new one looks like so i cant really tell what they should look like. So am I correct on the double "D" full friction disc first, then plate, followed by disc, then plate until complete, them finish off with the special disc ...

Shawn, I never really paid any attention to the order I took the plates and discs off, I was measuring for any warped plates, I will be doing the double "D" so I know that I will start off with a disc then a plate, does it follow in that order disc then plate., ending with the special disc, that...

Took a look at the shifter and noticed that the rod that the shifter is connected to that goes to the right side of the bike, there was about quarter inch of play back and forth, so I put the shifter flush and pushed the rod from the right while I thightened the shifter nut, well it seems to...

Sean,and Shawn, I wondering if you can explain why if it is or sounds like a bent shift fork is it not affecting gears 1-3 Well I'm posted to Nairobi this summer for 2 years and I cannot register the bike due to its age, I guess this could be my 2 year project. :surprise: anything else I...

All the retaining pieces/ star are good to go Shawn, the plates are not warped or showing signs of bluing, all the discs are good to go. When I run thru the gears, 1, 2, and 3 no problem 4th and 5th are hit and miss, more so 5th. Ron

What exactly am i looking for Shawn, the pins, or the segment / assembly as a whole. Thanks, Ron

Thanks Shawn, I will order the parts tomorroow, can you tell me what the procedure is for removing the segment, do you simply remove the star bolt in the center

The clutch daoes have some slipage I think, if you mean that it has poped out of gear when cranking her , yes that has happened to me a few times. On the way home in 3rd, rpms up, and I could not get her into 4th, seems more so at the higher RPM, same with 5th, I could go through all the gears...

The bike does go into 4th and 5th gear but with difficulty, more so at the high revs Thanks, Ron

Riding home today and I was having problems getting the bike into 4th and 5th gear, 1-2-3 no problem, but 4th and 5th espically at the higher revs. Any thought or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I took the casing off and took a look at the plates and discs, I really dont know what to...

Re: Good Vmax vendor stories... Hey Mark I asked Bill what the cost would be for the rear wheel as well, 950 + shipping

can anyone tell me when you turn your ignition on do your lights come on ?. Seems that the previous owner installed a FJR1200-1300 right handle bar switch, when I went to replace the faded worn out one with a newer used V-Max one I noticed the diff. I have to manually turn on the lights, as well...

Can any tell me if you can replace the older forks with the newer stock forks. I have an 88, and there is someone selling the fork tubes, + Emulators, progressive springs, fork seals/shields, fork brace stabilizer. Will the older front fender fit, are there any other parts required...

Contacted "Mark" the seller on ebay, said they were new with a 5 year warranty, as well he is a seller / distributorfor Carrozzeria Ron

Thanks for info Gleno, I was reading the info you provided, very detailed and useful. It seems that in the cases mentioned the wobble seems to be limited to the handlebars, I experienced the whole bike going side to side, or at least thats how it felt. At no time did my hands leave the...

Thanks Mike, I gues the only way to find out is to go for a ride with it off. Ron
