95 VMAX, recent project, first "extended" ride after replacing a bad stator cover gasket, which is no longer leaking but...........got a few miles down the road, running up through the gears, not "hard", but about 6K rpm in 2nd gear and the bike just DIES...........backfires a couple times, and...

Help! My 2005 Max runs great right up until about 10-15 minutes. At that point it just dies and won't restart. If I crank the starter it may fire a couple of times at best but it refuses to restart until it's had a good hour or usually more to cool. I would say it behaved exactly like I had...

The bike starts and runs great for a few blocks then totally dies. The headlight is still strong and all the lights still work including neutral. It cranks just great but won't offer to start. I had thought gas but I pushed it home and it still wouldn't start so I hooked up a spark plug to one...

Ok, here it goes. I have been rebuilding a 1986 Vmax which sat for approximately 8 years. I know the previous owner and have good knowledge of what has been done to the bike. I have redone almost everything at this point and have been working on it for over a year. When the bike was originally...

Been riding since I was 16 (37 years ago), most recently a '95 Honda Magna VF750, and picked up a '92 VMax just yesterday. It's in nice shape, cosmetically, but has one major problem. Starts up easily at full choke, will idle nicely, but as soon as you twist the wick it dies out. I'm assuming...

Q: My engine sometimes dies on cutting the throttle after high speed A: It sounds like the engine is starving for mixture at closed throttle. I would check the throttle cables and throttle butterflies. It could be that the throttle valves are closing all the way and starving the engine. Check...

Any help here would be appreciated. Background - When I got her, she had set up in a garage for a long time, so I had to have the local Yamaha shop clean the tank of rust, clean the carbs and reset the RPM's to 1.100. Since then, if I am running her a tad over the posted speed limits on the...
