issues

Hey guys was hoping you could help me make sense of this. I've researched this thing and really havent found something that is similar to what I'm experiencing. So for starters dumb ass me , disconnected the harness that went to the sending unit when I was messing around with stuff last winter...

I am considering buying a 1986 Vmax, 11k miles, Kerker pipe, been in storage 4 years. I have zero mechanical skill (but at least I know it). Anything I should be watchful for or best to leave it alone? Glenn:ummm:

I am posting this for one of my local vmax riders here in MD: He has a 1990 vmax that in stop-and-go traffic when the engine temperature rises, it begins running very badly and has poor off-the-line throttle response (lots of sputtering and spitting to get moving). It is not over-heating...

Hi. I am curious, does the v-max use a lot of fuel on "normal" driving ? I feel like I need to stop to refuel all the time. The funny thing is that I seem to have full tank after filling approx 12 l of fuel. I have a 96 V-max 1200 but It cannot be correct that the tank is that small ? Another...

Finally was able to get the bike out on the road and its not pulling past 5k. Pulled the air box top and cleaned thoroughly the intake holes with carb cleaner. While I was doing this I noticed that the slides wouldn't move, at all, even revving to 7k. I had the carb side covers p/c this year...

Hello All, First post here. Love this website. Finally found a forum with great info and people willing to help. Glad to be a member. I bought the 04 VMax new and only have 1000 miles on it. I spend my summers (May - Oct) away from home and my bike only gets started once in a while. When I am...

Help! on my '92 V Max, when I am going about 65-70/ 4-5k rpm's, the bike spits and sputters, until I give more throttle, above 70 it runs fine, also i notice that the # 2 carb is spitting fuel out of the "over flow" tube, (the float is sticking or not adjusted correctly tube) Could these issues...

This ever happen to you? I recieved the following message from eBay. I went onto My eBay account and there is no record of me buying the item. The item cannot be found on ebay, but my money is gone from PayPal. I'm curious if anything similar has happened to you and how did it work out for...

Ok, I just upgraded to dual intensity LED blinkers, but I dont like them so changing them back to single and modifying them to dual the correct way. My questions are as follows: I have attached a diagram to make dual parking/directional signals from a single intensity LED. Using the 1N5400...

Well, I got the tank all sealed up, carbs cleaned and put back in, vboost servo works, and all it needs now it to start! The thing cranks really good but when I go to use the choke to try and get it going it cranks slower and really struggles. Anyone know what could be going on?

Has anyone had any problems fitting their Corbin seat? When I put mine on, the bolt holes don't line up. I can't tell if it is getting hung up on something or not. If I have someone sit on the seat, I can get the bolts in, but I figured it should fit better than that.

Hi everyone just wondering if anyone knows why i cant seem to get my left and right sides synced together. I had them synced fine but then ran out of gas and sucked some junk into my carbs so i had to take em off and clean them again, other than cleaning the only change i made was moving my...

Ok so I thought my bike was running lean and I have verified it using the A/F meter. My other symptoms where lean popping on decel and running very hot even on cool days. At partial throttle cruising around town I am seeing 17-17.2 from just off idle to just before V-boost, regardless of gear...

I ride my max daily to work. Rain or no rain. It is completely stock. I bought it to ride! Anyway I was searching through some topics and seems like a lot of people were worried with the vboost in the rain? Why? I read people like to turn it off in rain for peace of mind? Thanks, MG

So here's the deal. I have an 85 max and having issues getting the bike to turnover. There were never any issues until I replaced the stator due to a dead winding. Now, when I hit the starter, the bike will turnover strong for about half a revolution, then die out and no longer spin, with or...

Ok so once again i turn to people who know more about electronics and the vmax than i... so thanks again in advance... yesterday, i went to wash her. got it all done and my harlan shift light would self test on and stay on.. damnit.. ripped the flyscreen off and pulled her apart and found...

Anyone here having issues logging on VMOA? Dont know why I care ther is never anything interesting to read anyways

There is a cheap 94 here for sale but has 2nd gear probs , bike looks to be in good condition with 23 miles on her . What would it take and cost to fix ?:ummm:

My bike, which hasn't been getting a lot of miles lately, although I start it at least once a week, is pissed off at me I guess since I ride/wheelie the XR650L to work all the time now.... Anyway, it developed a very severe off-idle to about 1800rpm hiccup, then takes off and runs perfect...

Every time I go on ebay lately I have the same problem. I do a search and it may come up 12 pages long or whatever. No matter what I do I can only view the first page that comes up. I hit the next page button or if I type a page number in the "go to page" box it does nothing but take me to...
