    Bad sounding engine. Big end gone?

    Some said it could be the camshaft tensionars but the sound came from the lower end of the engine. Maybe you can inspect it from the bottom with the oilpan of. You can check your oil. If there are metal parts in it. If you must go all the way you can remove the oil pan first and check it from...

    Bad sounding engine. Big end gone?

    Tested it today and it drives good.

    What an interesting comment and nice to read. I remember the super magna from those days very good. I was 19 then but it was way to expensive for me. I agree that there are faster bikes but not with the same appearance and "cruiser like" driving style. It is of course a matter of personal taste...

    Tested it today and it drives good.

    I repaired the clutch slave and clutch master cilinder last week and this morning i took it for a ride. I've had several motorcycles in my life but i've never had a Vmax 1200 since one year. Although it is an old bike (1999) I love it very much. ( Almost everything on my max is new by now) I...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Yesterday i finished the job. This was actually one of the things i've done to my Vmax that i liked the most. I spend more time taking my tools and cleaning it then the job itself. The slave cilinder came out very easy.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I repaired the clutch master cilinder today. (At the left side of the handle bar) It was a hell of a job to get the locking clip out but i ve got it done. New springs, seals, cilinder and dust caps. Tomorrow i gonna start with the clutch slave cilinder.

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Had no time to do it so last evening i checked some things. The air vent in the picture is open. I checked the hole with a 1 mm needle and it is open. I blew air through the air hose that is connected and air is coming through. I blew air through the air vent (picture) and fuel was coming up in...

    Connecting Rod Failures

    I could not agree more with your comment. It is how you handle your bike and the interval of the maintenance. You can google all kind of motor brands and there will be always things that can cause problems. If you want to rule out things, buy a new motorcycle. I own a 1996 Vmax with a 1999...

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Nice. I also saw it on their website. Curious if the installation is a manageable thing to do or a lot of work

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Yes i know i can do that and i have done that but it takes a lot of time. Put gas in it, wait, put gas in it, wait, etc etc. I think it should work easier. Maybe i gonna get the larger 21 liter tank.

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Yes correct. I think it is the problem that air can not escape around the filler neck. How strange it may sound. So what can be the sollution?

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    So glad that you post this because it is hard to believe that this is happening with the big space left over the gas opening. A mechanic told me to remove the rubber around the gas tank opening and to check if the air tube is still open. Don NOT make this opening bigger he told me, because it...

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Today i fuelled it with the bike on the centre stand. I was thinking the same thing. I know it sounds strange but last time the fuel light was on, so i fuelled it and after 4 liters it seems full. Not knowing that the gasoline level was slowly dropping. The fuel was almost at the top of the...

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Yes there is enough space around the filler so thats why it is strange. It looks like the tank is full, (almost floating over) then i wait, i see the level go down and i can fill it further with small steps. The gas tank is not leaking.

    Gastank will not fill without delay

    Hello, I noticed the two past times i stopped to fuel the Vmax, the gasoline level while fuelling was lowering very very slow. It took me several minutes to get it full. I had to pause several times to let the fuel level drop and then continue. I can see the bottom of the fueltank with a...
