bad

I briefly mentioned the bent forks in another thread, but another problem has surfaced (or I noticed it) because of it. It's been so windy you couldn't hear it, but the front brakes are scraping. I'm sure it's because the forks are bent and the pads aren't perfectly square with the wheel. It's...

Im having trouble AGAIN ,:bang head: and Im wondering if it might be in the charging system and not the EFI this time:ummm:.so for you few guys with the WB system, how would/could a weak/bad charging system affect the funtion of the EFI.. runs great when Im on it hard :biglaugh:,but seems to...

Hoping someone can provide some guidance. I've read almost every post and article on carb adjustments and can't find what I need. I have taken my carbs apart and cleaned every opening I can find with carb cleaner and blew them out clean. I did a dry float adjustment that has you line up the...

Well, I went for a ride on Saturday for a bit and came back and had bunch of oil on my engine. Not the typical seeping oil but splashes. It looked like it was coming from my airbox so I figured it was leaking from the carb joint which goes through the airbox. I was right, one joint was loose and...

I hate to add another post to the subject of the charging system, but I've checked out the database ,and did a keyword search. I could not find any specific answers to the questions I have. So here goes....... I've got a 680 Odessey battery in the bike. It's only been in for 4 years, but...

hi guys. got my 05 engine in my bike finally after months of saving up. Only has 4150 documented miles on it from pinwall cycles. Here is my problem. The other day my fuel light was on so i stopped into BP to get gas. Well when i started my bike up my oil light was on. I left the bike running...

Hello all. It was suggested that I come here for help with my '92 Max. Declining health has kept me off two wheels for some time now and I finally pulled the Yammy out of the shed for some tinkering. Here is the story. I bought the bike about three years ago and it never seemed to run quite...

I put my new front metzler 880 on today. I previously had a weave problem. Well the weave is still there. Its happens even at regular highway speed "60mph"when chaging lanes. There is somthing seriously wrong. Ive tried different fork air pressure.Seting the neck.Setting the air in both tires...

Took my wife out today, first time with a passenger on the max. she weighs all of 120 lbs, but man did it make a difference in braking. I really had to grab a handful.

My stealership must be hurtin. They just matched a online price not including shipping. Found a ME880 170/80HB-15 at ronayers.com for $127 and stealership lowered there price from $200 to $130. And did the same for the lazertec front $100.:clapping: And if I buy the tires there, the...

Watch out for these bad boys!!:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200: I didnt notice the "harley" writing at the top of the picture...till I actually posted them.

Well guys just thought i'd share a little info. My bike has been goin through 1 battery a season for the past 4 years. I have the bone stock Yuasa 16al-2. About 2 years ago I diagnosed a bad rectifier and replaced it with the aftermarket electrosport model. That fixed the problem somewhat...

Hi all: My '89 Max won't start. Put in a new updated starter motor, have a 1.5 year old Odyssey PC680 battery, which I use a Battery Tender trickle charger on. She barely turns over. A couple of backfires, that's it, then battery dies. Jump started her, and read voltage. Around 14 volts...

Clutches are cheap, right? :ummm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ6atGhmVU8

So I tested my side stand relay. Found it to be bad. Here is the weird thing. Bike will run, when put in gear, side stand down, WITH THE RELAY REMOVED. No need to jumper the wire to the ignitor.:ummm::ummm::ummm: Any ideas on why. I dont have my clutch switch wired cuz I have the FJR...

I had just remembered that this was somehing I was going to look into over the winter. Since I got my Max last summer, on rare occasion, usually when the motor is cold, the starter won't catch, or only catch for a second then let go. Waiting for it to stop then trying again has always worked...

I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?" CEO's are now playing miniature golf. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or...

Hey guys, I'm new here, and have a couple of questions. I'm looking at picking up a 91 vmax, 30k miles, with a slipping 2nd gear. The bike is a bit dirty, but looks to be in ok shape. The front forks seem to be dry, but it runs great. How much am I looking at to have the 2nd gear fixed up...
