high

I removed my HID from the bike to install my new projector headlight. Unfortunately when the HID was installed the harness of the headlight was modified. The High Beam indicator is not working and when I check the yellow wire which I expect to be the high beam, I don't get any power there. I...

I have an '03 Max and for the last couple of years it would tend to ide a bit high and then settle down to 1k. Now it will be idling at 1k and then on its own idle up to 3k on its own and stay there. It has also recently starting surging on the freeway. I bought carb rebuild kits on Ebay...

Hey guys, I have a 1300 conv by Sean. We have the ported heads, 12:1 pistons with stage 3 cams. Thing already runs like a raped ape, but I miss the advance I had with my Dyna. I dont thrash the bike, just use it as my daily driver. So do you all think it would be safe to put the Dyna back...

I've replaced all the frictions in my bike with new ones (including swapping the half disk for a full one) and did the DD mod while I was at it. I've also replaced slave cylinder with a brand new one. Changed all the hydro fluid as well. I'm still experiencing a real HARD and QUICK slip at...

Hi anyone know if I can get high comp pistons (12/1) whitout bigbore the cylinder, I know I can get 1300ccm and 1500ccm but what about 1200ccm?

Hi, I am looking to buy a used V-Max, preferably 1993 or newer. Should the mileage be a deterring factor? What kind of miles can one expect from a V-Max? I have seen bikes with 35 or 40k miles and wondering if the bike still has a lot of left at this point? Thanks for your input.

Hi everybody, I recently moved to Leadville, Colorado, where the altitude is 10,200 feet, from Michigan, near sea level, standard carb tuning. My Vmax is a 1999, with Dale Walker, "Holeshot" exhaust, and his stage one jet kit. Spring is FINALLY, getting here, and I need to tune it for the...

Summer is here...... at least in California. I have searched and seen a few posts on the temperature gauge on the V-Max but yet have to come to a good conclusion. I took the Max out for a ride a couple of weekends ago with temperatures over 100 F. The gauge got to almost red (in city...

I'm having a minor problem with the tachometer reading incorrectly on my 1988 V-Max with 56k on it. I just bought it this week so I don't know a ton about it yet. The tach reads about 1500 idling and about 7k going 70, so its obviously way off. I don't have a ton of time to work on the bike this...

i have a friend that is looking to sell his vmax. its a 2001 with 50K miles. unfortunately, they aren't his miles. he bought it at an auction (he's a bike dealer) but it appears to have been garage kept and is in overall good shape and he tends to believe that it was all adult driven. the only...

Hey everyone; newbie here, but been riding bikes for many years. I've made the decision to trade my sport bike for a 1st gen V-Max, after wanting one for years. (Like most of you I'd guess.) I've done a lot of reading and research, and feel pretty comfortable with it, but just wanted to get...

Ok thinking of replacing my 6 yr old outdated high wattage blue 95-135 Watt bulb with a newer technoligy style bulb. Who has upgraded the headlight bulb in there ride?:confused2: How wide is the beam? How far does it shoot it? Wattage? Cost?

anybody else out there run the 112 octane fuel, i have heard it is good to run and bad to run, advice needed. dave the retard.

every once in awhile i run 113 octane, i have had people say it's hard on the motor and others say it's good for it every now and then, thought's?

....and got my first US speeding ticket :bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head: so here we go, having renewed my steering head bearings, my high speed straight line wobble is GONE!!! I took my bike to an indicated 135mph today, and not a shake - it was as steady as a train. Also note...

I just bought an 07 VMAX with only 1000 miles, so it probably didn't get ridden too often. I didn't see any other posts that had all these specific issues. Issues; 1. When warm, as soon as it fires up, it immediately jumps to 4K rpms and stays there for quite a while. Sometimes it comes...

Ok folks I figured out my high idle and I still am having a high speed miss. I have ruled out anything in the carbs and my synch is good to go. The bike runs like a freight train until 6-7k rpms and then misses all over the place until redline. I have yellow spark plug wires and have...

Well I think I figured out my high idle. As I stated in the first post toward the end my throttle plate does not rest on the thumb screw idle adjust plate (it sits a few mm off of it but when pushed down my bike will not only idle much lower but also die). I can push it down with my finger...

Turbo VMAX dragbike. I am impressed. Who is this guy?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psrZ_jDCWUY&NR=1

Hey, I live next to the smoky mountains & blue ridge parkway. My MAX runs too rich once up into the higher elevations, even to the point of leaking gas. It has 4 seperate k&n air filters on each carb, a jet kit on it, not sure what size. Holeshot exhaust. Runs fine otherwise.
