Checked compression with warm engine, wide open throttle, all came in at around 120 psi. Bike runs strong but this PSI seems low. Is it? Is a 98 with 10k miles. Is this telling me I need a valve/lifter adjustment? Thanks.

Whilst servicing my bike I noticed my rough Idle when hot may be due to one of my front ht plugs arching. It seems to be arching straight through the side of the rubber plug/cap. Is there a cheap and easy solution to this? If I buy new cable can I use the existing plugs/caps and screw...

Slowly making progress on the 85, carbs are off getting rebuilt, got the fuel tank drained and flushed today, started to work on the clutch hydraulics. Was BONE dry, by the time I got it cleaned out and fluid through the system, had a nice leak at the slave cylinder, not unexpected for a bike...

Hello Guys need to get each side of the clutch and master cylinder diaphragm for my bike who is the cheapest out there?

Hi, I have an 88 model vmax that has started leaking coolant from the cylinder head water jacket joint. The workshop manual states only to remove them only when essential eg engine overhaul. Wanted to remove them and replace the o-rings and stop the leak, trouble is they are made out of bakelite...

Hi, When my max is cold, the front right cylinder backfires a couple of times when I drive off with the choke opened just a little. With the choke open full the popping is gone, so you would expect the cylinder runs lean. But here`s the funny bit: The spark plugs of the other three cylinders...

I am new here, bought my vmax a couple months back and have been messing around with it. I just finished up fork seals, steering bearings, and rebuilding the clutch master cylinder and lots of powder coating. After the bike was back together I tried bleeding the clutch and it will not build up...

Hi All, I'm new to the forum but have owned my '85 max for about 5 years. I'm hoping someone has gone thru what I've gone thru and knows how to fix my issue. Since I bought the bike it has intermittently lost power around 3500 rpm. I've replaced all the coils, plug wires, plugs, pickup...

Lately I've noticed when I use the front brake on my 97 it has been catchy when applying, it releases fine and seems to work good otherwise but I don't like the feel, comming from an automotive background I have always just replaced it when it was in question, are these easily rebuilt and if so...
