gear

Hey Guys, I know a lot of us have bought stuff from www.newenough.com and others so I thought it'd be a neat idea to start a thread that is basically used for deals we find out there. I will start it buy posting these up. I just bought a pair. My A* gloves are toast so I needed something...

Most folks may have already seen the Ariel Atom in action, I still just cannot imagine having a street legal machine like this, it would be way cool. Jay Leno had an Ariel Atom custom built per his specifications; however, dropped a GM 4-cylinder power plant in instead of the Honda, he...

I have checked and the swith in cllutch master cylinder and the switch in the stand. I have even joined together the two cables that goes to the clutch master cylinder switch. It starts only with neatural. Any idea??

...Found another issue..? Here's a pic of the shift drum... Only one spot I found to be mucked up... What do you think?.. Can I clean it up or should I just get a replacement? Also... - any good info on the second gear issue and proper shimming..etc..? I have to replace the bearings on...

Missed Second Gear - Over-reved While getting on the freeway tonight I missed second gear at WOT and obviously went past red-line. Now I have a intermittent flat spot in the upper RPM ranges , I checked the spark plugs and they look fine. The bike is a stock 98 with a Kerker and 39mm...

according to my shifter/transmission, 4th gear no longer exists... 1,2,3 all ok, try 4th - no one home, then up to 5th... no problem. anyone find my 4th gear laying around their garage? or maybe someone would have a suggestion of how to fix this? that might work, too :rofl_200:

OK, just getting ready to test ride after all the repair and etc... now bike stalls every time i put it into gear. tried keeping revs up no difference. clutch is still pulled in... any thoughts? 1985 - no engine mods besides jets and drilled exhaust.

My max has started slipping in second gear when I get on the gas. If I'm not gunning it no problem. Only second. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't need to think twice if I installed a digital gear display. Is there a brand that is compatible with gen 1 MAX? I'm wondering.................

When I downshift to slow down with 1st gear I 'feel' what I think are the differential gears. Almost has a knobby tire feel. The only other time I feel them is when running constant speed or trying to and you can feel the lash. Iv changed out my oil a few times since start up. Is this...

Hey trying to remove the secondary gear cover. I think that's whats its called. Iv tapped with a rubber hammer for quite some time. Any tricks for getting it off? No I havent removed the generator cover yet.

88 max, ok i have read all the threads on tranny's. mine seems to at time from a take off, normal take off i might ad, to shift into neutral. i think it does it when i start off then let up on throttle like moving forward in traffic. no noise at all and i just push the shifter down and i am in...

Hi I just purchased a 1997 vmax and it jumps out of 2nd gear evertime I shift into 2nd works fine in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th any ideas as to what the problem is ?

Hi. How come it is impossible to start the bike when in gear ? Finding the neutral is a struggle from time to time. Is it possible to bypass this ?

Hey All, Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot, as it is my first post. This past summer I bought a 97 V-max, and have been chasing some minor engine oil leaks on it. I think I've got them all cleared up except one. It is hard for me to tell, but it appears that it comes out the...

when you arrive wherever youre going? i have riding jeans to wear when its cool out, and then i would just leave them on and carry my helmet with me, and probably just leave my jacket on as well... but in the summer time ill be using my bike to commute to school, and its gonna suck carrying...

Ran upon this crash story and saw Motoport's gear featured. Hadn't looked at their stuff before, but after doing so - wow. I'm going to have to give some of this stuff a try. Pretty pricey, but they can custom fit to you, and have kevlar pants and shirts available, too. Not sure if it's...

Hey guys, I'm new here, and have a couple of questions. I'm looking at picking up a 91 vmax, 30k miles, with a slipping 2nd gear. The bike is a bit dirty, but looks to be in ok shape. The front forks seem to be dry, but it runs great. How much am I looking at to have the 2nd gear fixed up...

Anyone know if the FZR1000 speedo gear will fit the Vmax?
