gear

Okay guys, put your thinking caps on. I'm looking for a way on a first gen Max to turn a 12v DC device on only in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. In other words, I need a way to turn something on without pushing a button when the bike is in those gears. I don't want to turn it on in first gear under any...

Ok boys, I'm looking for new grear... well actual gear... 1- I want a 2 piece suit, leather preferred, textile would be ok depending on how it looks... I need to be able to walk into a client and not have to worry about looking tooo unprofessional... I'm looking towards 2 piece since I dont...

Hey everyone When I lay on the throttle heavy in first gear I am getting a weird pause followed by a kind of lunging surge - best way I can describe it. Maybe a hesitation (I don't really know the signs/symptoms of engine hesitation)? It does not happen in any other gear, nor does it happen...

ok so i took my Max for it's first ride yesterday after doing all the work. By the way the furber fix is the bomb...no wobble at all @45 even with one hand on the bars. This is the first one i've ever rode/owned. When i got to 40 untill 44/'45 it had a gear noise coming from teh drive...

Hey Guys not sure if this belongs here or in the drivetrain section. For some reason when I get on the throttle hard from a standstill I keep missing second gear enough times that I have no confidence that its in gear and i'm not going to redline the snot out of the bike. My bike is an...

I just stumbled upon this. **WARNING - Images are VERY Graphic** If you have a weak stomach, you may not want to look, but I do feel it's something we all need to see. http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=105585

I wrote this up a few months ago at my "old" forum (v4hondabbs.com) when I had my Magna--- figured I'd share it here as well. If you don't wear a helmet on your bike there probably isn't anything here that will interest you. Currently my gear setup is an Icon Alliance SSR helmet, Joe Rocket...

Just seeing how many of you mis from second to third. I seem to do this a lot. Last night i did and then put it in and was not in properly and kind of jolted me, was weird. Not sure why I struggle with it

I just noticed a few mins ago that when I try and move my bike while in first turned off it is really hard to do so - when holding in the clutch obviously. Then when I tun it on after doing this it will jump forward a little. When on and idling it is as easy as neutral to move around, not sure...

I was talking to my buddy tonight and we were talking about cruisers. He said his friend has a Goldwing that has a reverse lever on it and that all cruisers have a reverse gear since they are heavier then sport bikes. Does my VMAX have reverse cause it sure is hard to back this thing up:bang head:

Can you fix the second gear issue in bike by flipping upside down and working on it while still in frame ?

Out for a fairly long walk today (about 6 mi) here in Plano (Dallas suburb) I kept track of the number of bikes that passed me, and the gear the riders were wearing. (I know, but jeez it's boring...gotta have something to do besides the iPod.) While walking, temps today in Dallas were in the...

Anyone out there ever rode with dirt bike boots for the street, given maximum, shin, ankle protection. Just tell me if its a stupid idea.I respect everyones input. Yes I did try it,:ummm: and shifting is not to bad.

Load me up with tips! Leather? Some other material? Let me know what's good / better. I want a full kit - helemts, boots, gloves, pants, coat. I am worth a lot to me, so i don't mind droppin' some coin. ________ Camaro ZL-1

i have an '85 max with no engine or tranny modifications. a few days ago i was riding locally and couldnt shift from 2nd to 3rd gear. it shifted only in 1st & 2nd gears. when i got home & parked it, i put it in 1st gear and covered it for the nite. the next morning i tried to shift it into...

i was wondering if anyone knows why there is a "knockout" on the back top half of the left hand switch gear. reason i ask is i recently bought a set of chromed switch housings off e-bay. i got them the other day and as i was installing them i noticed that there was an extra square hole on the...

After roaming the board and web for a while I decided to pick up some new gear and thought I would share my initial thoughts about it for those in the market. I was looking for some gear I can wear year 'round that would keep me safe and comfortable, so I decided on mostly tour master stuff. I...

just a random question but i'm in the market of a vmax or sabre and i know the v65's are around 3800rpm @ 60-65. how about the maxes? i know coolness wise the max wins no questions asked but i like to do some long distance riding and rarely do interstate unless i have to. any input?

So i did the steering head bearings fix, and my decel wobble basically curred itself... so i was riding today and took my left hand off to itch my ass (or something i don't remember) and there was the decel wobble (much less than before though) again.. so i spent the next 10 miles trying to...

Tried a search.... Looking to find out if anyone knows what is acceptable for the gears driving the oil pump as far as the freeplay on the shaft is concerned. The teeth are wearing perfectly, but when you rotate the gears on the shafts, they have excessive play on the shaft(s). 3 total. Is this...
