cylinder

I have just noticed that the red light has just started to come on more often to find a small oil leak coming from the left front and right rear cylinder head , the oil and filter are due for a change all so . Is this a gasket change or is it something else . What do I need to look for ?:ummm:

Need some advice on Clutch Master Cylinder leak. After more than 2 years without starting my 1993 Vmax, I finally had the time to put it to work. I was surprised how easy it started after so long, maybe because I've done carbs work before stop using it. Since then, I have been riding a...

When I purchased my 1999 V-Max, it was a very cold day, so when I test rode it, I did not hit the throttle hard. When I got it home I noticed a wire cut at the #3 coil connector. I repaired it, and ran good. But when starting cold, there is a loud occasional "POP" coming from #3 cylinder (custom...

Hello, around almost an year ago when I bought my Vmax, when I got home with the motorcycle I noticed a small beautiful oil leak dripping from the pan, as you can see in the picture. I noticed that it leaked only after use for like 2 hours. I noticed also that the clutch master cylinder fluid...

I got my bike up and running finally but it ran rather rough and I felt the exhaust and the front left is dead cold. Did a compression test and it started at 90 psi and finished at 150 psi so I assume the issue is not mechanical. The plug was not wet and looked clean. I swapped over the plug...

I have one cylinder that at idle and cruise will pop a bit, and when the bike is warming up, it only really fires occasionally, once the bike warms up it is better, but still not quite right. When I hit the bike hard full throttle open, it's fine, runs perfect, but on cruising around 2-3k...

So, I thought "Hey, I'll top off my master cylinder for my clutch, that will give me a few more weeks of riding till I need to replace the seals in the slave". 5 min job, right? Get out there, the guy used hex bolts to replace the stock screws on the top, I remember thinking what a good idea...

98 Vmax, 18,000 miles, getting a tapping/knocking like noise on cold starts that goes away once warm. Increases with RPM. Almost sounds like the noise a sticky hydraulic lifter makes in a pushrod motor. Possible I need valve adjustment? As far as I know, it's never been done on this bike.

Does anyone check or notice if your cylinders heat up equally after a cold start? My bike is running like a race horse goanna (very strong and fast). I do notice though that the right rear cylinder takes much longer to get warm than the other 3. After a cold start, within 30 seconds or so 3 of...

A while back some one was making side covers for the cylinders that you could have custom engraved. Think he could do 3 letters on each plate? Anyone know who that was and if he still selling them? Did a search and nothing came up.

Ok, in my quest to make my bike the perfect bike for me, I have found I want some changes in the braking department. While the stock Vmax brakes seem to do the job just fine in most instances, I do know that they can be better. With the front brakes, the pull feels lighter than what I would...

Finally got the vmax out for the first time.... Ran great, but started to develop a slight miss about hour into it. I didnt think much about it but went to start it the next day and it was missing real bad! Checked fire on the left side front and no spark! Checked it again with a new plug and...

I have an 89' Max with 22,000 miles on it, Pods, Stage 7, and Cobra exhaust but otherwise stock. The last time I rode it developed a exhaust thump, the regularity of which had me thinking it was a single cylinder issue. Did shotgun, no improvement. Pulled plugs, verified spark, and compression...

My 86 Max with 73K miles has been giving me trouble lately. First I pinched a wire that destroyed my fan switch and also burnt to crisp a ground wire. Got all that sorted out but now my engine runs poorly at all RPM's. I contacted Sean Morley and he sent an electrical test kit along with a...

Yesterday I was syncing the carbs and every so often there's a little pop of air coming back through the sync port...maybe every 10 seconds or so, otherwise there's a vacuum there. The little pop is strong enough though, that it will blow the sync hose off the port after around 5 or 6 pops. I...

Hey folks. I am looking for some new brake and cluth master cylinder reservoir assemblies for the max. Looking for ones like...

Hi all. I hope this isn't one of those questions that has been asked 10,000 times, but as a newish Vmax owner, I need a bit of advice. Basically, I need to replace my clutch master cylinder. I see references to the FJ items being a good upgrade, and I can buy one off a 2009 FJR 1300 for what...

Hi, I've got a 91 Max that I bought used. Had all sorts of carb problems that I got sorted and it ran ok. Then it started running rough again. I checked the plug wires and coils and it wasn't firing on two cylinders. So I ditched the coils and plug wires and installed some COP"s from a...
