Hey guys..86 VMAX. I tried 2 brand new batteries, and even replaced the starter motor and ground wire. This problem is still the same with the new parts. The problem is it gets really slow cranking and sometimes doesn't even start. The batt reads 13.5 with the bike off, and charges well when...

Does anyone have a set of the stock Yamaha Saddle Bags for sale, must be in excellent shape. Paypal ready! Thanks Brett Horton

Changed the Stator Coil the other day all went good I forgot to re-charge the battery. Was out riding the bike when the bike just quit running got it home pulled the battery out and noticed 4 cells were about half out of fluid so I added some distiled water then re-charged the bike. The next day...

OK. I've had a few bikes, and have restored many classic cars. I'm no stranger to starting issues. But, this '94 Vmax is starting to piss me off. After sitting for a few days, it seems to flood on startup if it doesn't fire right away. Jetting is good, plugs are new, battery fresh...

chain driven honda shadow rolling chassis.. .. with a zx14/gsxr1300 engine.. ive been considering this and can prolly do it for 5k. talk about some frame twisting!

Bike: 1992 PCW 1327cc chain drive with about 1000 miles on the motor So I just got my bike back from my mechanic. He took the carbs off and cleaned them, replaced the plugs and tuned and synced the carbs. The bike ran well at his shop when I picked it up, I brought it home, put all the...

Hey Guys The last trip to NYC had me overheat and die in Chinatown. And it was only 20 degrees. But 60 blocks of stop and go traffic made the max run too hot. I now plan to ride to Daytona from PA at the end of the month. And I am sure the bike will do fine on the trip. But running...

Rode w/ a friend for the first time today. When I accelerated from 1st, 2nd, 3rd hitting vboost in 2nd and 3rd - he said he saw a plume of smoke (slight blue tinge - indicating oil burn). He said it was only under the hard accelerations (vboost, high rpm) - and it was a small plume. I am...

to make Lazer beams shoot out or my scoops, maybe active it with the horn button?

I hard wired my r/r to the pos and neg terminals. Fired up the bike and got 14.45 volts on idle. Great!! So, I now put coils, wires, etc... back in place and bolt everything down. I'm standing there with my camera to take a picture of my new found 14 + volts (showing on my metre) to post a feel...

I have read alot of posts on here about hard starting Vmax's.Mine is one of them. With the bike off it shows 12.2 volts and runnning shows 13.4.I have did the crimp fix and run new ground and heavier gaauge starter wire.when the bike is hot it will barely roll over but put the charger on, it...

After 6 days of Max sitting in the shed i decided to fire her up , on turning the key i got a clicking noise and she was had to start could smell petrol and it was like she was flooded and then got her running without choke on . This has happened before when i havent been using her for about a...

was riding the other day and the vmax died lost power, sounded like a flat tire was inside my engine pulled over and wont start, turn over nothing. no oil leaking, never overheated, didnt sieze up. called the dealership and guy said its the timing chain or jumped timing. anyone have any idea how...

Gotten comfortable on the Max and started rolling a little more aggessively on the throttle... Transmission is in need of work, obviuosly, as it pops out of first when I really get on it.... What am I looking at (repair wise) and could/should I do it myself?

Well, I installed my Super Trapps today and went for a ride. The bike sounds great and pulls very strong. Problem is, the addition of the pipes exarcerbated the already slipping clutch. Once it warms up it is now slipping in third as well. So much for the wisdom that these pipes add no power...

Seriously Here is the issue. Had to replace the stator awhile back. After about 1000 miles or so the bike started having a hard time starting. Sounded like a box of rocks. After inspection of the dowel pins I noticed flat spots... So I replaced the dowel pins, compression springs and caps. Put...

Hello All So I've got a set of solid motors mounts (PCW Racing), read the install guides (X5) and have the Cylmers Manual. It sounds like a real ***** to install these but in the end it's worth it from everything I've read. How badly can I screw up my Max if this install goes sideways...
