    Starting problem

    I've found that the "Box of Rocks" sound, is the 1st hint that the starter clutch needs to be addressed. When the starter clutch has gotten so loose, that it no longer engages, it sounds like a high pitched whine, or, as you've so eloquently described "like a dying cat screaming at you" lol.

    Oil Change Help

    Welcome to the forum.. I guess the 1st thing I would look at is,,, after the oil is drained; 1) how much did I remove. 2) what was the condition of the oil. Was it just dark in color, or was it brown and milky? In other words, if it was smeared on the site glass, would it look opaque? 3) or...

    My best friend.

    So sorry for your loss Bill. I know the feeling. Know that he was loved and he gave love in return,, what more can anyone ask for? I've come to realize this.. If they were immortal, we would not cherish the time we have with them. Take care brother.

    HOW TO: Remove/Inspect/Replace your Starter Clutch

    Glad you found your issue.. Simply chalk it up to a learning experience.. That's what I've done with all the FUBAR's that I've encountered with my used and abused 91.

    starter clutch

    Maybe a silly question, but, for any reason, did you happen to replace, or disassemble the pulser pickup wires leading from the stator area, that connects under the seat?

    clutch problems(barnett)??? 1st gen vmax

    This might be a relevant or not, but here goes.. I recently picked up a set of bleeder screws when I was rebuilding my rear caliper. I did not realize that the package the guy sold me where "One-Way" bleeder screws. They're supposed to make bleeding easier, by not allowing air (or anything...

    electric fan

    If 3:00 O'Clock is is the middle, my fan kicks in around 2:30. Mine varies between 2:30 - 3:00 when just sitting still. Don't remember seeing it get hotter than 2:15.

    Engine paint touch up- Who has done it?

    Keep us posted on the results.. I have some friends that will never attempt to tackle projects like this. The 1st thing that comes out of their mouths are, "Take it to a body shop or some professional" I was brought up to believe that "Knowledge Is Power". The more I know, or learn, the more...

    Oh Boy, fighting the jetting fight......:(

    Don't know if this might help, but I figured you've tried damn near everything else.. Rundown of my issue. For the longest time after getting my used 91 max, I had this stumble rolling from 4-5K, no matter what gear. Did all the testing you could think of. Changed out carb and v-boost...

    Since Yamaha did not build the bike with a coated tank, (They did not anticipate 10% Ethanol in the fuel we now must use, which draws in water from the air, which causes rust in a steel tank), most people don't coat their tanks. They just deal with the **** that the rust causes.. Messed up...

    See how the meter shows a 0.0 when you touch the leads... Run a continuity test on each wire of the sender individually. If you get a 0.0 at the connector lead, and keeping the same color wire at the senders end, will tell you which wire is broken.
