Update. Symptoms above where when bike was hot. Bike has now cooled down to about 170 and things work as normal again.

So I am lost. Hope someone has some ideas. Here is what I have done and what is going on. Started about a year ago when the fuel pump was clicking every single time I turn it on. Never ever will it stop as it should. I tore the pump apart and found the diaphram out of place. I replaced it and...

This makes me feel better. Does anyone know at what temp the radiator cap will start to let fluid into the overflow?

Will check that out when I get home. Thanks

After reading and reading it sounds like I am going to do a good flush and change my fluid. Then run it up to temp and make sure there isn't any air in the system and temps up to 220F aren't really that bad. I will just have to pay attention to see if it cools off as it should.

The mechanical thermostat is newer. The electrical switch to activate the fan I assume is original 85.

Whoa never typed so darn much on my phone!

Well for instance yesterday on my ride home from work, which is about 20 miles, and I was in a hurry so was probably averaging 80 on the interstate. I wasn't stopped at all until I got into the driveway. I was only stopped for a minute to get the opener out and open the garage. I have an...

So I feel like my bike runs hot. The coolant is a year or two old and I am going to change that but I have two other questions. 1. Is there a good system flush and if so has anyone had luck or is it a waste? 2. I know on boat motors the impeller will slowly go bad and pump less water. Would...

Same here. Didn't bother with polarity.

So I have read up everything on this fuel pump issue. I have taken the pump off the first time to find the infamous diaphram had came out of its little cavity. I replaced it and reinstalled the pump. Seemed like it did help for a couple of cycles of the ingnition. It actually built pressure and...

Holy fast response. Thanks Sean.

So while out riding a couple bikes decided the long back roads where a good time for some hooliganism as some of you describe it. Well while is was getting on it I probably pushed the revs to 10k. Not something I like to ever do. The bike has a 2000 motor with 15000 on it. I have no signs of any...

The 95 says it has synthetic oil. You will want to change that probably a couple times to get the synthetic oil out and get refusal oil in. From what I understand the synthetic oil will cause the clutch to slip.

Glad to see it working out for you.

This is funny, yet very true.

Newbie question but when strapping the front for racing is that just to help keep the front end down?

#4009 Modmoney got it like crazy! Great runner.

Hope everything turns out nice!

So after about 100 posts or so I have realized that I dont believe I ever went through the step of introducing myself. So... I have aquired my first vmax about 4 years ago. An 85 that came with 180 rear tire radial conversion, suspension upgrades front and back, kerker, a hybid jet kit (or...
