change

Hi Guys, Well it's on to my next project which is putting my chrome parts on and I was thinking that while I had the parts off the bike I might change my blinkers back to stock. I bought the bike with these little blinkers and I'm not so sure people can see them that well, my wife was...

i know most of the answers here will be opinions but im curious how many miles do you put on your bike per oil change? im running a full synthetic (royal purple)and havent decided when i am going to change the oil. im thinking 2500 miles but im not sure yet...

Hey all, I replaced the battery in my '85 recently, and after I finished I have no power anywhere. I tested the battery and it's got juice, but I get nothing when I put the key in etc. I tested all of the fuses, and they are all good. I'm wondering where to start poking/prodding/testing...

I want to change the fork oil in my 2000 max but there is no drain plug and the air valve is under the cap so, I`m wondering if anyone can explain the process to me and just how much oil is supposed to go back in them.:ummm: Happy Easter and God bless everyone,:clapping: <<Dave>>

HI Guys, would anyone know of any problems with replacing the motor in a 89 v-boosted max which has a compression of 10.5:1 with a euro 100hp motor which has a compression of 11.5:1, and conncet it to v-boost. I'm gonna be trying this out very soon as the orginal motor is very sick and needs...

Hey guys, I picked up a set of used 440 progressives this week and the lower caps have been ground down on one side. I called progressive and their going to give me a couple of caps free. ( very nice service from Beth over there) The problem is it requires a tool to compress the spring in...

:clapping: Well for all you that are sick and tired of seeing the V-Twin American engines dominate in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycles you will enjoy hearing the changes that NHRA has made for the 09 season.. I can see the Suzuki back in #1 again real soon hopefully at the Gatornationals this...

I am lookin to sell or trade all painted skinz on my bike. I have a paint scheme in mind and I can't bring myself to paint over the colour on my bike. I will be upgrading to a R1 front fender and possibly a shorty rear fender, so the biggy is the faux tank. These are flawless pieces, and the...

I changed my differential oil today. I used redline full synth. The thing that I thought was weird was the way you tell if it is full. The manual says to remove the Final gear check bolt, and to pour in oil until oil comes out the check hole. Then put all the bolts back in and torque to spec...

Havnt been around for a while. Hey dudes! My friend has a 2006 suzuki ls650 boulevard and put a jardine aftermarket slipon exhaust on it. Now the bike runs way lean, and backfires a lot. He had to tear the engine down to replace some gaskets and noticed the exhaust valves were white from...

I have a '99 with 13K miles. When on the centerstand the rear tire had a lot of resistance to turning by hand. A good spin and it would stop after about 1/2 rotation. I mounted new Shinkos and took a 15 mile ride and now the rear tire will turn about 2 full rotations with a good spin. The rear...

This may seem elementary but sometimes we just need a little help to get started doing our own maintenance on the max. I changed all the pads on the bike but for the purpose of this post I will just show you the rear as it is the same for the others. Here is the rear brake caliper and pads, as...

Is there any commonly known other method of changing the sparkplugs without the toolkit tool? My bike didn't come with the toolkit, and I don't want to spend the 175$ the dealer wants for it.. a regular 18mm socket of course doesn't fit in the valley. Anyone want to let me borrow their toolkit...

Remove top cover and side scoops. Unfasten float bowl vents from air box: Lift coolant reservoir and hang off to the right: Unplug fuel pump for safety: Sorry for this one. Kloker things I'm hot so I figured I would tease him a bit: Loosen 3 screws holding left side heat...

Just to let everyone know, I asked Chris to change my screen name to my real name in case any one is wondering WTF happened. Wfcall is still one of my favorite movie characters but I decided to get real with it..... Later, Rusty

anyone knows a thread on "how to change the fork oil" 10/20w - has anyone tried a higher weight - could that cause a problem with the seals ? What's the deal with the power steering fluid - has anyone used it instead of oil. Thanks guys It's better to ask first, right. .:whistlin:

Well, I installed my Super Trapps today and went for a ride. The bike sounds great and pulls very strong. Problem is, the addition of the pipes exarcerbated the already slipping clutch. Once it warms up it is now slipping in third as well. So much for the wisdom that these pipes add no power...

I Have A 2006 , I Bought It New ( Left Over ) 3/07 ,i Love It !! The First Time I Rode It At Nite, The Gauge's Were So Brite They Really Bothered Me !!!! Especialy The Speedometer Thats In My Face !!! So I Took My Gauge's Apart, Put Really Low Watt Bulbs In Them, And Covered The Bulbs With Red...

Had the dealer change tires yeaterday on my 85 Vmax and everything was going well until we noticed the front wheel brake pads were "real tight" on the front caliper, as if the brake lever was already pulled to about 50%. Without pulling the calipers off, they tried to push the pistons back a...

1) Remove four fasteners holding vacuum chamber cover on. Be careful, spring will push the cover out. 2) Remove slide spring. 3) Remove slide. Be careful of the rubber diaphragm and notice the groove in the carb body. The slide installs one way. 4) #3 is the PAJ2. Get a flat head...
