issue

1985 16500 mi 170-180 Compression TOTAL carb rebuild Carb joint boots replaced Tried to sync (Motion Pro tool) carbs, gets close to balance, blip throttle reading changes, repeat, blip repeat, different readings every blip. Hooked up a Vac gage, needle swings wildly, cant get a steady...

I was swapping my sissybar out for the stock grab rail and when I went to check that I had the turn signal wiring correct I wasn't getting anything at all. Not even the front signals. Then I noticed that the neutral light is out on the cluster and that was working for sure before and during the...

Hi, Took my 2001 Max out yesterday and immediately some new problems cropped up.... The bike started shuddering and losing power like it was missing. Noticed the tach had jumped all the way to 9000 rpm and kept bouncing around that rpm . The engine was not going that fast (I couldn't!), as I...

I noticed that I get confirmation of settings but the light won't come on at 9000 rpms. After a lot of testing I see that the light only comes on at 4000 rpms or lower. Has anybody ever tired fixing one of these? I tried contact cleaner to no affect. I was going to test the pins of the dip...

Last night I finally mounted my Carr.wheel up front. It wouldn't spin due to the fact the rotor bolt on the right side was contacting the fork tube. It wasn't by too much as I could force it by. On the left side (speedo drive side) there was .070 inch clearance. The bolts are titanium low...

What's up guys? Hey, I've been fighting an "off idle " now for a month or so....finally about to give up and ask for some knowledge here. Details/info: - After the engine completely warms up, most of the time it's difficulty to start, requires a little throttle - After warm up, sometimes has...

My bike charges between 12.2 vlts at idle and 12.9-13.3 vlts at 2000 rpms is my stator going bad

I just put on my new shinko's and I went to check the front air pressure, but the valve seems too deep for the guage to work. I had to loosen up the actual valve to get the reading. I thought perhaps the valve needed replacing so I put in a new one and same results. Is there something wrong...

Hey, Question for you carb nutz out there. I'm having a midrange issue. Runs fine 'til 4100 RPM's, then it starts to break up a little. Doesn't really matter what gear it's in, just when it hits 4100 it breaks up. Really see it when I'm cruising at like 65-70 mph. 2000 VMAX 17000 miles...

Ok, so I was riding last weekend with a couple buddies. The bike has fired up fine since I got it in February every time. We stopped for gas and after I filled up it wouldn't start, everything was normal as far as the lights and the noise of the vboost when I turned the key, but it'd try to...

Symptoms - Top speed peters out around 115. Fuel economy around 25mpg (GPS confirmed) Faint smell of gas detectable up to 6ft away, and the right exhaust smells a little richer than the left. No puddles anywhere, though. Details - 1993 VMax I bought last August in Daytona, FL. Has some...

I replaced the battery with an Odyssey PC680 and tried cranking the 1993 max. Nothing.... so I then ran a jumper from the + post to the starter and got it to fire right up. It ran for about 20 minutes and I drove it around my storage unit property before going to get a friend to follow me home...

Alright so I finally took my vmax out yesterday after owning it for a month and never really getting to ride it. I gotta say it was fun. :D It would be more fun if the lights worked on it lol. When I picked it up from my buddys place he said the headlight was out so I picked up a baulb on...

hey guys, didn't know if anyone is good with small engines, specifically pressure washers? picked up one from my grandparents which had been sitting for a few years. to my surprise the engine runs well, starts right up and doesn't hiccup, stumble or anything. can start on 'run' after being...

I can only report on what I know and have learned, so there very well may be more to the following than I am aware of, but from what I've found over the last couple of days, the Dyna3000 may become a hard to obtain item, at least in the near future, if not more permanently. I ordered a...

Hi guys I need to know the measures of the stock steering stem and the thing is i cannot disassemble mine (i have no bench/jack/stand where i have the bike right now). Is there anyone that have a triple set around that can tell me those measures? Thank you in advance Fred

I have noticed recently that the holeshot exhaust I paid 1,000$ for about 5 years ago appears to be rusting out already. I ride in the rain on occasion, but always store my vmax inside. The cans are still almost perfect with barely a blemish. Is there a fix or will they need a new ceramic...

I briefly mentioned the bent forks in another thread, but another problem has surfaced (or I noticed it) because of it. It's been so windy you couldn't hear it, but the front brakes are scraping. I'm sure it's because the forks are bent and the pads aren't perfectly square with the wheel. It's...

Purchased a set of Marks 4-2 12" with 2.75" openings. Happy with the pipes and happy with the service but can't seem to find any more power and was hoping someone might have an answer. Stage 1 Dynojet done when the pipes were instaled otherwise stock - except K&N and Y tube removed. The good...

Hey all. I have started to an odd puff of oil smoke on start up So i am assuming that my valve guide stem seals might be leaking. - though it was a bit odd, two cylinders appeared to have oil fouled plugs, then i took it for a 20 mile ride and checked after and no wet oil look on any plugs -...
