issues

When I bought my bike a little over 2 years ago, I rode it home and found the #3 coil wire broken. I repaired it, and eventually upgraded to Coil Over Plugs (COPs). It's continually had strange "popping" sounds from #3. I have a true 4-into-4 exhaust now, so I can hear and feel what that...

So I'm taking the plunge into carb tuning. They've always been sort of a black magic to me, but its getting frustrating running with the current setup...... Anyways, I had Danny rebuild the carbs last spring and they came back like this: Jets #90, #170, #155 main Stg 7 needles on 3rd clip...

Just a rumor , or is the Gen II doomed ? http://www.moto-station.com/article109995-euro4-2017-bye-bye-yamaha-vmax-1700.html

Ok, I posted a few months ago about having issues with my fuel pump. I got a lot of great suggestions like cleaning the fuse contacts, as well as the reserve switch. I did all of these, but, nothing works. the fuel pump is good. It runs when I connect a jumper to it directly from the battery. I...

So I have an 88 Vmax that has been overheating for a little bit now and I am pretty sure it is the thermostat (which I'm in the process of changing right now). When I take it out for a spin within 5 minutes of it running and driving (never going over 55 MPH nor sitting at stop lights) it will go...

I'm trying to sync my carbs with a new Motion Pro tool. The picture shows where the fluid stays no matter what I do. If I turn the A/F stews on #4 or #2 all the way in the bike acts like it will stall. #1 or #3 turning the A/F screw all the way in does nothing. Bike sounds normal at idle and...

Ok so I pull up to the garage and turn the bike off, and wanted it closer so I went to start it, and nothing. Then smoke from the Apex battery. Ground terminal was fn hot. Like burnt my finger hot. Checked the battery voltage and 12.04v. Tried my old batter but that bitch has no life in her and...

So I've been trying to fix my '88 Vmax for the last month and still can't fix this issue with the fuel pump. It started out when I took a small fall at ~10 MPH and it seemed to move around the diaphragms in the pump which led to a loud clicking sound from the pump. So I then took apart the pump...

Any advices how get U joint and driveshaft lined together? I mean, should I put swingarm on and then the whole final drive assembly and line it , or should I keep swingers and final drive together and line it ? It seems really difficult getting em together.

I have an '86 that seems to be having problems with the rectifier being that my battery has boiled out twice now. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a good aftermarket replacement that's at least reasonable? The OEM is around $230.00. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I installed the stage 7 kit, paj 190,main 175, clip at 4. No power after 7000 rpm so I went to second clip. Good pulling but nothing after 7000 so I moved to 3ed clipand 3 turns on the a/f. Some improvement but my stock carbs would beat the pants off of what I have created now. I am at 180 ft...

Hey guys, been a while since I have posted. To busy and trying to ride when I can. I have 2006 with roughly 4200 miles on it. I modified the stock exhaust and I really liked the sound. Bike has always run pretty good. Modifications so far are just the modified stock exhaust and a K&N...

A few days ago I was driving home on my vmax and I pulled in the clutch to coast and noticed the motor had completely cut off. I did this a few times noticing that the rpm wouldnt even stop at idle and would just completely turn off and not even hang at idle. When I got home I fiddled with the...

Hello all. I've just purchased an 06 VMAX -- ohh its all I knew it would be. But, I've got an issue dropping into neutral. running, not running, sitting still and or slowly rolling to a stop. nothing makes difference. There is zero clutch issues. nothing other than this...

So the left side 2 carbs were totally clogged with crud and the right two were like newer or something as they appeared way nicer and required less cleaning. Here is a picture after I synches my carbs up: Now I have a few oil leaks to fix, a radiator flush or 2 and she should be ready for...

I registered for the Vmax forum as soon as I got my vmax last month. Been fun reading the posts and an invaluable resource for me as I go through my new to me bike and get it as perfect as I can. Thanks to this forum I've been able to tackle my dual disc brakes, order the correct gaskets and...

When I purchased my 1999 V-Max, it was a very cold day, so when I test rode it, I did not hit the throttle hard. When I got it home I noticed a wire cut at the #3 coil connector. I repaired it, and ran good. But when starting cold, there is a loud occasional "POP" coming from #3 cylinder (custom...

OK, here's what's been done so far. Changed entire wiring harness as the original burned and fused together near the fuel pump. Had to replace pump relay before new pump would run. After that It started instantly, but no ignition to the rear cylinders. Also, vboost doesn't cycle...

Hello all. I am new to the Vmax and have a problem that is stumping me. I bought a 2005 with 7k miles, but the previous owner had removed the plates on the rear of the stock exhaust pipes (ground off the rivets), and drilled the holes out to about 1/2 inch - all five holes. Sounds pretty...
