intermittent

I just purchased a 1994 VMax at the end of June. It had been in storage for 5 years. I got it running okay using the shotgun and pea shooter cleaning methods. I did notice it had a surging issue (very intermittent) about every 50 miles ridden. Dannymax recommended a thorough carb cleaning, so...

I have a 2011 with V&H CS1 exhaust, PCV with autotune. I have plans to get the ecu sent to Mr Nash. I have the bogging just off idle & the issues with cruising surges but lately I've started having it run on 3 cylinders, usually only lasts a few seconds. I looked at all the connections for the...

I noticed last night that my right front and rear left turn signals and running lights are intermittent. While riding, the running lights on these signals go in and out. The turn signals also do not work when they are off . They may stay on for a while while riding but I notice they tend to go...

Hi all, I have an '89 V-MAX and in the last 6 months the VBoost check when turning the ignition on has become intermittent... There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason; initially it appeared to be linked to ambient temperature i.e. if it was a hot day it went through the self diagnostic...

Morning all, I've an exactrep HID. Kit installed on my 88, it worked fine for a while, oddly enough BEFORE, I'd fixed my charging problem, now that I have a good 12V with the ignition on, and over 14V when running, I now have an issue where sometimes the headlight illuminates when I turn on the...

Greetings all, I have an original '85 Max with 10K miles on it, PO let it sit for 19 years. Have fully (almost) resurrected it with new manifold seals, carb kits and boots, vacuum diaphragms, fuel lines, OEM spec tires, SS brake and clutch lines, etc, etc, etc. Nagging issue arose shortly after...

My headlight is going out. At the same time the gauge illumination goes out. To make the lights turn on and off I turn the handlebars. Any guesses at the cause? I keep looking at the electrical schematic and I'm coming up blank.

Hey guys I hope this question hasn't been asked too much but this problem is really starting to get on my nerves. My bike is a 90 model that I just bought a couple months ago. I replaced the battery immediately after I bought it bc the shipper that delivered it left the key switch in tail light...

I need some troubleshooting advice or ideas... At times I need to need to bleed my clutch. I use a mity-vac and sometimes it will last for weeks and other times only a ride or two before needing re-bled. I've replaced the slave cylinder and cleaned up the masters top edge...it looks fine so I...

This just started while I was out for a ride last night. Pretty randomly(but several times a minute) I hear what could be called a low-pitched screech from the engine case. Sometimes it lasts just an instant, other times as long as a second. The pitch varies a bit too, but doesn't seem to...

I have this very intermittent shutoff with my bike. 2001 Vmax with 27,000 miles. This is the scenario: only occasional (maybe once in a 130 mile ride) I have almost what seems like the engine will quit and then in about 1/2 a second come back on. I may not get it again for the rest of the...

Hi Guys, I've got an 86 that's misbehaving on me and driving me up the wall. What's happening is that she'll run fine for 15 minutes to half an hour then starts misfiring like a horror. I think its being caused by something warming up because once she starts misfiring she wont stop, however if...
