Hi guys after many years wanting I bought my first V-max a few months back....
Being an American import and being in Australia I decided a new modern dash was in order so I could actually see how fast I was going
I've fitted an Acewell MD085.. fits beautifully in the original housing and wired...
I can use it on my Bike, Bus, and car. No more " he sais, she said". Video speaks the truth. Might even catch something interesting. Its on an 8 hour loop.
It is pretty well known that I am a huge fan (almost rabid) of the 1st gen Yamaha V-Max. Have been since I was 12, when the bike first came out. It took me forever to finally get one, but I did.
After a few years on her, I have discovered that, just maybe, the V-Max is not the correct bike...
checked my fuse and its fine .
my headlight (high n low) doesnt work and neither do my dash lights .
turn signals still work .
anybody have an idea ?
thanks
I propose to make this thread to be a sticky / how to for rest of Max riders wishing to easily upgrade tachometer / dash.
I purchased a knockoff Koso LCD Tachometer. Also I have COPS with resistor and am inline for new TCI ignition and eliminate VBoost controller.
- Does anyone have wiring...
OK. Bike starts with no issues. I wanted to test the radiator fan, though, so I let it idle in the garage (no rear wheel on yet) to see when the fan was going to come on...
well. It DIDN'T... EVER. I had to go grab a box fan and aim it at the radiator to keep it from going past the first red...
A week ago bike started to run out of fuel after 10 mile ride. Turn signals and horn button killing dash panel power. I took left hand switch apart cleaned contacts and greased. Checked for shorts and good connector connections EJC on all of them. pulled flasher relay looks good. put it all back...
