I've got a craftsman jack I think will work if I put about 4" of support in the circled area. I don't think lifting from the back of the motor will get the front end up so I also need to know if I can also lift from a bit further forward, directly underneath the oil pan.

I started a thread about purchasing an AGM battery because my battery was not holding a charge which I received and put in the bike and it starts nice and easy now. But,,,,, I measured the voltage output to the battery and I was only getting 12.0-13.0 volts when before I was getting 14.5 so now...

i currently have a 2009 Raider trying to trade for 2018 Vmax the best the dealer will give is 81.00 dollars off of list that seems to be really crappy deal

Well I’m getting that starting noise that signifies the starter clutch is on its way out... Anyone have positive experiences with a cheaper option than OEM? Also, how do these typically fail? Will the bike just not start one day? Or is this doing damage? Thanks, Connor

I have a '90 with about 42k on it. Stock except for a Corbin seat. I have the stock pipes (great condition) but right now it's wearing a pair of empty cans. Sounds great but it's LOUD! Comes with these parts (not on bike): pair of gold dot front caliper and front disks to go with them. Adapter...

All, I have my engine prepped and am about to remove it from my 85' for transmission problems and am trying to figure out the easiest way to work on it. Is there a good stand out there for mounting the engine that you guys have used? Right now I'm going to work it on the floor until I split...

Hi all, I'm new to the VMax scene although I've been riding bikes for years. Recently purchased a 2009 VMax with 37,000 miles and I'm wondering if I got it for a good price or not. I'm attaching a picture of the bike. Mods list: - powder coated black over 150 parts - stock cans are ceramic...

Started hearing a metallic rubbing sound from engine. Like something rubbing against a case cover or ?. Thought it may be the water pump but the noise is coming from the other side. Does not knock when started but after running a few minutes starts low and gets louder as it runs. If I blip the...

Anyone know of a really good Vmax mechanic in the Sacramento, CA area or within a 100 miles or so. Need a crank replaced. Thanks [email protected]

I tried a Scout and it was too small of a bike for me, but I sure do like the look of them. And I think these new ones look pretty spiffy too.

I was wondering with the things that people can make nowadays with plasma cutters just good old welders and knowledge, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a center stand made for a Gen 2. Every Gen 1 I had I used them religiously and I love them. At first it took a little bit to...

I took the cover off my Vmax, disconnected the Battery Tender Jr. and slide it out to the middle of my garage on the new improved motorcycle dolly I bought last summer. I wheeled the Vmax off the dolly and put one of my rear wheel stands on, now it sits waiting until tomorrow to get a good...

This goes out to my friend Jon, AKA blaxmax. Over the last few months, he has become a friend. I've had a few problems with the Max, and he very kindly sent me parts to diagnose/fix the problem on more than one occasion. For free, because that's what friends do. I know there were personality...
