Hey everyone,
I just got a Vmax, a little bit less than 3 months ago ago, and now I am forced to sell it.
1992 Yamaha Vmax.
A bit of background;
Had a 2005 Dodge magnum, found out water got in the transmission, could not afford repairs so I sold it. My Max was the daily driver. about a...
hello all,
I am the new owner of a 1993 w/ 6k miles. She has garage stored her entire life and up until I rescued her she sat unridden for around 2 years. Under my care she now has a new battery, fully broken down and rebuilt carbs, tank removed and cleaned and fresh oil and fork seals. After...
Ignition Coils Testing High
I've had a nagging problem for awhile where the bike will run great until it reaches 5 or 6K rpm then it feels like it's missing intermittently. Carbs, ignition box, charging system, pick up coils, and fuel pump all check out. Today I tested the ignition coils and...
OK, so here's a weird one. Working on an 85. When I turn the key on, the fuel pump doesn't automatically cycle. I can hit the off/on switch several times, nothing happens. Almost by accident, I "wiggled" the ignition switch and it started pumping. Now, once it starts pumping, I can toggle...
As in title, for those of you looking for a Dyna for the early bikes.

hi,
My rear ignition coils resistance are 3.5 and 3.6 ohm. the manual says it is supposed to be 2.7 +/- 10%. I have no idea if that is bad, ok, or good.
Is that ok? should I be worried.?
oh btw, the resistance on the secondary are according to spec at 13k ohm.
Thanks
regards,
Any one know whether these bikes have a capacitive discharge or inductive discharge ignition system? I'm about to hook up a wideband datalogger, and if its capacitive, I ruin my 800 wideband.
I've got a '94 VMax that I've owned for almost a year, and it recently quit starting. It's been modded, but IDK how much. After some investigation, none of the plugs will spark when it turns over. After the first day that it quit, I got 1-2 sparks for every 10-15 engine turns, and now nothing...
Hello all. First time posting on Vmaxforum. I recently removed the stock handlebars and installed a set of drag bars on my 2000 VMax. I fired it up with no trouble moments before slapping the new bars on, but after they were installed I had no power at all. I thought maybe I left the...
Short question: My ignition switch has an on/off and "P" position. In order to turn it to the P position, you have to push the key in and then rotate it. I could not find anything on the P position. What does it do?
Long question. Well, the question is actually...WTF?? I rode my 88 Vmax a...
As a locksmith, I'm so f'n sick of keys that I'm gonna design a biometric ( fingerprint) lock for the ign for our bikes. They have door locks now and they have come WAY down in price compared to what they were. So it's just gonna be a matter of how to rig this so it turns the ign to the run...
Hi,
From reading a lot of articles on the internet, it seems the higher octane fuel you run, the farther you can advance your ignition. Normally the lowest octane you can put in the Vmax is 86. Since I live in the Netherlands and we have only 95 and 98 octane (nothing lower), it seems to make...
forgot to label my rear cylinder's coils. :bang head: which cylinder does the coil with the orange go? #1 or #3. i know that the yellow will go on the other one, but just to ask a complete question: which cylinder does the coil with the yellow wire go?

I currently dont have a good manual on this bike. Cylinders 4,3 are not firing correctly. Would like to test these parts and could use some information to proceed.
