Yeah I spent the better part of yesterday going back and forth between the wiring diagram and the bike checking every connection in the ignition system. Found no faults.

I believe it was off of a ‘92. However it had been sitting for quite a while.

If you’re referring to the cdi box wiring then yes. Seemingly no shorts or breaks in that whole harness.

Back again. Been out of town for work for the past 3 weeks so I’ve just been able to start tinkering with it again. Still stumped. I borrowed a cdi box from a buddies parts vmax, still no spark. So far I’ve verified that the pick up coil, ignition coils, spark plugs, battery and I think...

Just for gits and shiggles I decided to check the pickup coil’s ohms, I’m reading right at 100. Is this within spec?

Sorry for the delay. I got the replacement sub harness in for the left hand control switches. Plugged them in, still nothing. Also a little off topic but my turn signals are now blinking oddly. If I flip the left signals on, the front right signal blinks along with the rear left, and vise versa...

Sounds good. I’ll get to it tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thanks much!!

Just a wild theory, I don’t currently have the left side controls, (turn signals, horn, etc) could that possibly have anything to do with this? I pulled the whole harness for the left hand controls because the wires were stripped clean off the ends after the wreck.

That’s the relay on the right correct?

There’s an unmarked relay in the spot previously mentioned spot so I’m assuming that’s what it is. From what I can gather, 1990-on did have side stand relays. I’m having a couple drinks myself so I don’t go insane trying to figure all of this out 🤣

I’ll check it but it was my understanding that if the side stand switch were bad that the bike wouldn’t even crank at all. I could be wrong but we’ll see here in a minute.

You have to just replace meaning it won’t run without it I’m assuming?

I hadn’t considered that. Where is the side stand relay located? I’ve been cranking it in neutral, clutch both in and out, side stand down and up.

I’ll start off by saying that I dropped my 90’ vmax about a month and a half ago. Big patch of loose grass going through a corner. Bummer. Dropped and slid on the kickstand side. Mostly cosmetic damage apart from the engine cover which I replaced. Just one problem, she won’t start. Cranks all...

Yeah I’m struggling with right now, ripped the hose a bit on the side, seems impossible to get it back on..

I just went ahead and removed the whole air box, is there supposed to be a clamp on the hose? If not that may have been my issue.

Where does the oil hose connect to the air box?

Just got home from a ride and noticed oil running down the left side of my motor down to the kickstand. Investigated further and it somehow seems to be coming from somewhere on the back side of the carburetors. It’s a pretty good amount of leakage as well. Hope these pictures help.

So the shocks came in the mail today, as I was about to install the new shocks, I noticed the mounting studs on the bike are too big for the bushings on the shocks. In the interest of saving time, I’m wondering if I could maybe use the bushings from my stock shocks on the new ones, they don’t...

I had a few drinks last night and I ordered a pair of progressive 444’s. Went with the 12 inch heavy duty’s just to be safe. Hopefully they make a pretty good difference!
