My 97’ had similar issue but it was first start of the season. Nothing. No dim lights. My good quality charger said charged. Took battery out and had it tested. 8volts. Charged and tested. Bad battery. New battery and it runs like a top. I’m used to it slowly turning over or clicking and Dim...

Thanks. It’s everything I had hoped it would be. Sick power. Watch out for the handling under power in a sweeper. Mine wiggles a bit and takes my breath. I love it just like that. Taught me respect. Peace

Welcome. Mines also a 97’ but someone painted it red. Love the original silver.

I’m going to keep my spare engine. No real interest and I was only offering to help someone else who might need it. Think I’ll go through it and learn about these engines. Peace.

👍

I’m in Asheville and probably won’t go less than 750. That’s what I paid and would just keep it if I can’t get at least that. I’m not in need of the money but my bike runs great and I feel a little guilty sitting on something I might never use. I’m not greedy and if this could get someone back...

I didn’t hear it run. It had already been removed. My plan was to go through it and have a spare. The gentleman I bought it from seemed honest and I went to his home to pick it up. Drove a long way as there aren’t many opportunities for vmax parts in my area. I have a couple other bikes and as I...

I have a 2WE engine and trans I’m looking to get rid of. My 97’ runs great and getting tired of walking around it in my house. It has the spin on oil filter and engine wiring harness but no carbs. Bought it from a bike that was parted out because of lost title and it does have good compression...

I’ll chime in because I have a little experience with sport bikes. I’m 54 and have knee trouble also. I bought a Kawasaki 7r awhile ago because I always wanted a 750. Went through it and it was running beautifully. Fast bike. Could never get used to the riding position. Knees and neck pain rack...

Amen brother. They are a handful. Mine is a stock 97’ and very scary. I love it.

Love that seca 900. I had one decades ago. Same color scheme. My collection now is a 97’ vmax, 99’ Vulcan nomad, and a 86’ eliminator 600 project for this winter. I find myself looking at bikes for sale way too much. 😆

That is beautiful. Nice work!

Welcome to the club. The first generation Vmax was something I always wanted and finally made happen. I’ve had my 97 for about 8 months and ride it several times a week around the NC mountains. Fastest thing I’ve ever owned. I’m seriously considering life insurance. 😁 love it!

Great advice. I’m going to start with front forks and end with getting new wheels for radials mainly because of cost. I will make sure tires are in good shape. I did get solid motor mounts with purchase but not installed and heard they are a bit tedious to install. The frame braces seem like...

I thought they had some accent. They actually did a pretty good job painting the engine so it will be tedious getting it back to stock looking. I’m 54 and prefer a factory look. I will say these bikes are a handful as everyone who has one knows. I don’t have any issues with the engine but the...

Understood. Thanks for the advice. I’m not greedy and feel bad sitting on an engine someone might need.

Thanks. Looking forward to this new journey on an incredible machine.

It’s got WE on number pad and a spin on filter. I can only go by what seller said but he said it came off a running bike that they didn’t feel like trying to get a lost title for so they parted the bike out. It was a shot in the dark. I had entertained the thought of sending it to Sean and...

I thought so. Going to carefully remove from areas that got paint and shouldn’t have. Im obviously new but wanted to ask another question or advice. I have a good used engine for one of these without carbs and figured why not let someone else use it. Mine runs great but would be a shame to let...
