97

My father and I have acquired a 1997 VMAX that we were told had an issue with the oil pump or oil pressure. We have begun to dive into inspecting the bike and seeing what is going on with it to determine the best course of action to get it back on the road. According to the seller, the...

I watched Sean's video of his daughter disassembling forks for seal replacement. I attempted to disassemble my ‘97 forks but ran into issues. I was using a brand-new impact gun and brand-new impact 10-mm hex bit. One lower bolt head stripped out. The other one is spinning, with some difficulty...

What diff am I looking for from a venture for my 97 max?

Hey guys, A fellow Maxxer here in town hit me with an issue today. He's hit a no start, no spark situation when he hits the the button. It started out as a complete collapse but the bike would re-start after several minutes. It's since degenerated into a complete lack of spark but he gets the...

Hi Guys, I picked up a 1997 Vmax over christmas. Very fun to ride but hard on fuel. I see the fuel light at 119km It is running very rich. In the morning when I try to start, I apply the choke and it fires once then just cranks. I have to give it alittle throttle then she idles fine. I also...

Hi riders of best bike ever :) This questions were probably asked before but i was not able to find it. My clutch oil level is low, there is not leak under the bike and there is some free lever movement. Bought bike few months ago so i do not know what oil is in clutch reservoir. What oil goes...

Just Not sure where to begin.. SO here is what I have and the issue.. 97 max 2 owners: motor is stock; the airbox has been modified by morley.. I remember his name but did not know that he has a air box mod... ( like I said its been a while) the carbs have been re-jetted- no idea what size...

I've been working on this paint job for the last 2 months. I have most of the tins finished, just have to do the stripping on the rear fender yet. This is my first airbrush work in 18 years. Let me know what you think, good and bad. I used the Duplicolor Paintshop system. Candy Base, Candy Red...

Hey guys.. Bit of a problem.. Just picked up my bike from the transporter (haul bikes ) and the battery rolled out dead.. Eventually since the transporter refused to let me charge my bike with the battery tender he had on his, I had a buddy bring his truck and cables to charge my bike.. We...

I was looking at a lower triple from a '97 on ebay and noticed a bolt on the right side instead of the regular steering stop nub. Wrote the guy asking if the stop had been broken and built back up with a bolt....he said no, that all '97 Max's had a bolt on the right side for a stop. Frankly...

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/3148286368.html Looks real nice and low mileage. I'm not too hip on the forward controls but that is an easy fix. Seems to be a good price too. Z

My 97 ford f150 was wrecked Friday March 2, 2012. My wife and daughter where returning from a bowling outing with my in-laws. My wife was turning left on a green light and did not see the on coming mustang. She had to cross two lanes to enter the highway ramp and was almost all the way on the...

Hi V-Max guys, I am new here and recently bought a naked 1996 Royal Star and need advice on how to wake it up. I heard that V-Max cams and springs will really help so need some advice on what to buy and where to buy. I did put Jardine 4 pipe exhaust and a Dyna 3000 and they helped but the bike...

After a loooong hiatus I am ready to get back in the saddle (work, Kids). Bought a battery, then installed it. Bike fired up but the front left carb is dumping fuel like crazy. Most of my experience is of the single cylinder variety so I am weary of opening a can of worms. My rookie diagnosis...

Saw this on ebay-mine is cracked so bad it is falling away.A friend said to make certain the 06 will fit on my 97.I actually only need the left side,not the side where the key goes...anyone have one? Cheers Philip

Had my friend paint it Lexus ISF Ultrasonic Blue and Tyga USA CF Scoops (sorry for the picture quality- took with my droid) I ordered the CF guage cover as well to go along with the CF scoops , just waiting for that to come in LMK what you guys think!

More to come...I just downloaded this off the camera. This has the Tyga CF with Sean's muscle seat (CF+silver stitching). I haven't decided whether I'm going to add the "Yamaha" to the CF scoops yet.
