cylinder

I just purchased a 1985 V-max and have no spark on #3 cylinder. I tested the current coming out of the TCI and I have current on #1 the Orange lead and #2 the White lead and #4 the Gray lead but nothing on the Yellow #3 lead. Could it be a faulty TCI box? Or something else? Does any body have...

Hi all: I hope all of you had a great New Year's Eve and are ready for 2014! I've got a question about clutch master cylinders...I'm basing this question on the fact that different brake master cylinders exert different "fluid pressures". Can any of you recommend a "powerful" clutch master...

Hi everyone: I hope you all are doing well and staying warm. I've got a question regarding a brake master cylinder I found in my parts pile: It's got one of those remote round brake fluid holders that attaches to the m/c via a tube. On the m/c itself, the risen text reads "Nissin" on one...

Has anybody done a slave cylinder rebuild? I just finished replacing my clutch plates as my clutch has been slipping, now I need to address the slave cylinder (its been leaking and I have no clutch) Any advice on how to do it or a helpful website would be much appreciated! Thanks

Any of you guys have leaks on your aftermarket master cylinder covers? A friend has a set like mine and he developed a leak while the bike was parked on the side stand with the handlebars turned to the left. He noticed that the OEM covers have a vent to atmosphere and the aftermarket ones don't...

Electrical gurus... My '95 Max has just decided to stop firing on #4. Other 3 fire fine, but #4 not getting spark. Tried new plugs - nothing...Plug is wet with gas, but not fouled...I have COPS so I switched the harness & COP from a running cylinder to #4 - still no fire. Believe it has good...

I'm thinking of changing both master cylinders on the handle bars to some newer Nissin units. I rebuilt the stock Vmax ones and one is leaking and I don't like how the powder coating came out. For the clutch MC, I assume I should stay with the bore size that the stock MC has. I have 6 piston...

So after fixing all my electrics the old '86 ran fine... for a few days. Then it started missing, and then feeling like it was running on 3 pots, only going to full power when in higher revs. I thought it might be the #2 coil, as I had noticed a break in the insulation of one of its wires. I...

so my 94 max acted like it fouled a plug the other day. I gimped home (a mile or so) and i can't figure out what is up with it. rear right cylinder is dead. has spark. and plug is wet... when i put on the choke it seems to heat up with the others. i pulled the gas line and ran a bunch of...

Hey guys just wanted yo ask if anyone knew what the diameter of the stock brake master cylinder is? I have R1 calipers off an 02 and thinking about putting nissin remote res on just want to work out stock diameter I know R1 is 14mm.

Hi, Is it expensive to get the 1200cc vmax engine converted to 1500cc? Or basically a just a change of pistons? Does 1500 pistons fit the stock cylinders? Is there anything else to consider if your thinking about converting 1200cc to 1500cc? Thanks!

I noticed last week that my 2001 was dropping the front left cylinder at low RPMs. At idle I don't think it's firing at all. When revving the bike in neutral I can hear the bike spit and pop ever so slightly in the 3k to 4k range and think the cylinder finally picks up consistently around 4k...

Slave cylinder, new question, destroyed pushrod oil seal... OK, I redid the slave and I'm hoping it'll work alright... only problem is I decided to replace the pushrod oil seal (which wasn't leaking for all I could tell). So I started trying to pry the seal out ANNNNNND ripped the fricking...

Ok since I ve never done a karma on the forum here before, I ll explain how I usually do them on other forums... Rules 1. You have to be a member as of today. 2. You may post once (1) per day till the karma ends. The more you post the more of an opportunity you get to win. 3. You...

Just like that i fouled a plug on cylinder number 4 (front right.) was running fine and is noticably missing at idle, carbs are synced, good fuel. Kind of at a loss. any help would be great. Thanks Jeremy

Just a quick one for you: Is it a simple case of a few alan key bolts and lift the head off? Do I have to replace gaskets or anything or take any special measures? Any advice would be great. Thanks

Does anyone have a good source for the clutch and brake master cylinder cover screws? Mine are all chewed up and I need to replace them before I have to easy-out them. Surely there are some stainless ones out there...?

I have a little bit of oil leaking from the front cylinder's head cover gasket (both sides, just the front of the gasket nearest front tire). As seen in the attachment, right at the #28 and again on the opposite side of the engine. Initial speculation from dealer is $400 to replace gasket. Do...
