issue

I run the Cobra exhaust, and as much as I love it, I am having an issue where the right lower can is separating from the header. This has been an ongoing issue I have been having with this bike, and I am wondering if I may have tweeked the header when I was removing the stock exhaust somehow. If...

Been having a constant issue with my 98 for some time now. Bike has 16k miles, 4-1 Kerker, Stage 7 dynojet kit with the individual K&N pods, air correctors, S7 needles, and drilled slides. I've never been able to get the bike to run smoothly. My main problem is WOT sputtering below 6-7k RPM, and...

Coming home from work the other night on the freeway doing about 75 m.p.h., my VMAX started to sputter in 5th gear like it would do when the low fuel light comes on when having to switch to RES. Confused, :ummm:I still switched the fuel selector to RES hoping that maybe the low fuel level light...

Hi, I own a 98 vmax and I"m having some backfire issues. When coldstart with choke on it backfires untill choke is off, then it runs ok. When warm it only backfires on decelleration. What could be the problem? I synced the carbs with carb pro. What could be the issue, a/f mix or vacuum leak (I...

Hi.New member here and have been gaining knowledge from this forum.i picked up a 97 recently and have been having an issue with it running rich.Strong raw fuel smell at idle and horrible gas mileage.Tried cleaning carbs and changing plugs which helped somewhat.Mileage went from 10 to 22...

So I've been meaning to ask this, because it seems like the Max is notorious for second gear going bad, but mine seems to be "too good", sometimes if I'm getting on it hard I'll go to shift into third and my bike will klunk like it went to third but still be in second, but if I just hard shift...

So............. I bought a brand new battery for Max. Installed it.....test fired it up to make sure everything was good. Bike hasn't been started all winter. Turned over a couple times and it fired up. Great. Shut off immediately. Couple hours later......and a few beers....this is Friday...

Before I start spending money on new parts I figured I would ask if anyone has found a solution for this problem; 1989 Vmax 1988 Wiring Harness I turn the main switch and stop switch to on positions, everything is working properly (all indicator lights come on, fuel pump clicks, 41-R relay...

Hi everyone, first of all a thank you to all of you who posted helpful information about the VMax 1200. I learned a lot, but obviously not yet enough as I have an issue with my 2005 VMax I can't get figured out. Here the description of what it does or not does and after that a description of...

little background, brother in law bought his 01 vmax last year and it had ran like dog piss ever since I first test rode it. ( after he bought it of course) well early winter he took it in to have the carbs gone through and the guy found that the jets were in backwards? well anyway he rode it up...

Just wanted to post my clutch issue in the hopes that it might help someone else out. I recently had to replace my diaphram spring so I opted to install a barnette pressure plate. At the same time, I put new steel and friction plates in. (I did align the dots on the plates) After getting it back...

Whats up y'all? Haven't been posting on here in a while. Dropped the VMAX a good while back, been a little scared ever since. :biglaugh: Anyway, started it last night, wanted to let it run for a while, circulate the oil, coolant, and fuel. Started right up, warmed up to operating temp, revved...

My 04 ran fine before I moved it down to Florida from Northern AL at the end of July. It even seemed to run fine when I moved it from the Toy Hauler to the storage unit. At the end of Aug I went to move it over to the new house from storage and it wouldn't idle off choke and would only keep...

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.

Hi, I bought an 88 Vmax a few weeks ago and I've noticed that when shifting from 3rd to 4th there is a significant amount of vibration coming from the foot shifter in the split second when I've got the clutch pulled in and my foot has the shifter raised. It doesn't always do it but it happens...

Early this summer I was well on my way to working lots of bugs out of my 86 v max. Carbs rebuilt. Exhaust change. Plug wires. Etc.. Had it running wonderfull. Was on my way to tackle the 'Hot Start" Problem. Then the voltage regulator fried. No big deal but got busy with other things an put the...

The weather here in Maine has gotten chilly rather quick. At the same time, I am having difficulty getting Woona to start. She cranks over fine, And I can hear the normal pre-start sounds. She just does not seem to want to fire. Could it be the fuel? In northern climates, they use different...

Hey guys, I'm scratching my head here. Last night while riding home, it got a little playful with a buddy of mine and his HD. I could take him at will at any speed, but if I was steady throttle around 7500 - 9000 rpm it would feel like it was running out of steam??? Could this be a float...

OK, so on the 85 I'm working on, the springs around both the brake and clutch lines were rusted pretty bad, so I decided to replace them with good useds one I had handy. The brake side went without issue, but when I got to the clutch side, I COULD NOT get the 10 mm fitting on the slave side that...
