1985

Kind of a long intro, but you'll see why I'm supporting at jump street. New to the VMax as well. I used to ride a Maxim many years ago, but I couldn't afford a VMax as a young Airman in the late 80's. I remember when the VMax came out, and reading all the reviews in magazines. I've always wanted...

Hello, I'm wrapping up the year-long restoration of my 1985 1200 in original Dark Amethyst. I've come a long way with this bike; at first, I really didn't like the color and considered switching to Deep Scarlet. I figured the pinstripes killed the originality anyway. I also bought a set of...

So, I posted in another spot on this forum that I found a 85 VMAX with only 16,000 miles on the odometer a few weeks back. According to the last owner, it was sitting for a while before he bought it PLUS he left it sit for a couple of years. So, I have started the resto process on a few...

I have an 85 with a backrest and I am looking for a luggage rack.

Problem: When more than 1/3 throttle is applied, it revs up accompanied with a ratcheting gear noise, in multiple gears. Previously posted in clutch section and realized it's not clutch after removal and re-installation. Suspect bent shift forks, shift drum damage or gear dogs worn. I'm posting...

Hello everyone I inherited an 85 vmax that has been sitting up for about 10 years. Unfortunately had a few rounds the ethanol in it then parked..... I've replaced gas tank, fuel lines, filters among other things and now I'm in the market for a full set of carbs for this thing. After soaking...

For repair, will probably need new tranny. (History: 2nd gear popping, now its stuck in 1st, won't shift). Can't afford the necessary crankcase disassembly. Otherwise everything else was working great before this happened. $500 OBO. In San Diego, CA. Contact Keith 718 757 9499 for more details.

What would you pay for a 1985 Vmax that has been owned by the same person for over 20 years. Not only that but the person is a motorcycle mechanic who owns his own shop. The bike is in pretty good shape no leaks or anything like that and has 29000 miles on it. Needs a good cleaning. Tires are...
