86

So here's a video of the '86 running... crappily. I'm sure a carb sync is badly needed, but what do you guys think about this noise. The oil light is on and stays on even when filled all the way to the top of the sight glass. I filled it that much just to see if I could trick it. As I say in the...

aney body fited an 86+ venture gear indicatour to a vmax ?:ummm: should be a straetford swop

I took this in on trade and no longer have the time to play with it. The bike did run last year before the oringinal owner put it away. He started to take the carbs apart and gave up. After looking it over the carbs need to be totally redone and the clutch slave unit also needs to be redone...

I just got my bike back after having a new rear tire fitted. When I got home I tried to turn the rear wheel on the center stand and it was tight although i could rotate it. The outside brake pad seems to be hard against the disc The dealer said that it just needs to settle in and...

I just need someone to look at the harness where the voltage regulator plugs into the 6 way plug . Mine is gone . I have a 6 wire plug that goes to 3 for the regulator . Manual shows nothing . Wirediagram shows nothing . Please just check your bike .

OK seems simple but no mechanic can tell me . In a nut shell I picked up this 86 real cheap the guy hooked up battery charger and walked away . Well he had the cables backwards. So I figured voltage regulator burned up cause everything works but it won't charge . So I bought one . When I took...

Hey guys! I am a life long Harley guy who has recently been given a 1986 VMAX from a close family friend. I had heard about them over the years but never seen or ridden one. WOW its fast and I have parked the Softail! Anyway, I began to take it apart to clean years of neglect and bad...

Not mine. No pics, but I contacted the guy for pics and info. If its clean, $2000 seems good. Plus it says "or best offer" http://buffalo.craigslist.org/mcy/4330127221.html

I have an 1986 Vmax I am trying to get back on the road. Problem is I don't have any keys. anyone know what my best option is for getting a replacement? Any input is appreciated.

Well, as my '86 keeps cutting out on just one cylinder at lower revs, I want to try replacing the TCI to eliminate it from the equation. Does anyone have a spare TCI to fit a 1986 Vmax? Please let me know - I'll be in Florida in August so it can be sent to Captain Kyle for me and does not need...

My '86 Vmax arrived today. Now the proud owner of two Vmax's woohoo! Only one of them has no 2nd gear... The '86 so far: - dead battery, tried charging, nada. :damn angry: - all four float chamber hoses have been cut off at the exit nipples :ummm: - all four fuel vent hoses are missing :bang...

I'm doing the Hayabusa front upgrade and need some new front rotors. I'm trying to find some of the Chinese wave rotors on Ebay but I'm having no luck. What should I look for so that I know the wave rotor will work on my model (1986) vmax? Thanks!

I read a few differnet things now that people have posted online that the 85 vmax had hotter cams and made more power, then they were de tuned. ANy truth to this? what was the 85 putting out for stock hp anyway?

Can you plug air holes in early forks & slide them up to drop front an inch or so.can't buy springs or forks right now.tried downsizing spacers but its a little sloppy.

can you put a thundercat wheel on a early vmax ?

my brother in law just bought a 86 vmax with 10k on it...and he saw a picture of a vmax with a sissy bar, with a luggage rack attached to it. since he wants to use the bike to go back and forth to work..this would be great. anyone have one or know where i can point him to?

Is this possible to be a street legal bike? I havent seen any threads on this type of mod for a daily rider...OR is this guy confused about what he has??? 86 custom v-max . motor built to 1500ccs from stock 1 198 . chain drive crossover . front end rake . 4 into one stainless kerker . 168...
