knock

Turned 250’ish miles yesterday. Rode relatively hard, since I was with a fellow vmax rider. On the way home, just about every light was an 1/8 mile run for us...lol. Did a lot of hard riding and high rpms... until that last light. Never fully caught the shift, and with that twist, I knew almost...

2000, stock, 35k miles, So here's what happened..... bike ran fine Friday on the way to work. About 2 miles from work it sounded like I had an exhaust heat shield vibrating some where near the front of the engine. By the time I got to work it was definitely not a loose exhaust noise. It sounds...

Long story short.. Had an accident, gravle on the road... ended up in a ditch, bike laying on its side and throttle stuck at WFO for about 20-30sec untill I shut it down... Any way... Broke my wrist and two fingers, lycky nothing else, bike a little banged up, but nothing major, and already...

Can the ballencer on my 86 max give a two tone knock like a rod from the berings on either end of it got great oil pressure dosen't sound bad cold after warms up just sounds like a rod bering

:bang head: Here are some vids of my motor knocking sound. I think its a wrist pin or a rod bearing. But before I do something dumb, expensive, and time consuming I thought I'd throw this out here for you guys to take a look at, and see if you have any suggestions. the noise is always there...

On my way home and I drove by a house, maybe two miles at most away from me, with a shiny Gen1 Vmax sitting in the drive way. I was damn near tempted to pull a U turn and knock on the door lol.

Has anyone ever successfully added a knock sensor to their bike? I just picked up a very nice supercharged VMAX, ground up restoration and refit of EVERYTHING....complete bike rebuild has 50 miles on it. Should be running around 14 pounds of boost in the 170-180HP range. I'd hate to blow it...

Hi guys, newbie here. I just bought a vmax last weekend from a guy that thought the crank bearings were bad. Listening to it I think it's more of a topend/ valve adjustment issue. This is my first vmax so any input is highly appreciated! I want to square this away before starting the mods...

Hi everyone, and thanks for the help... I just got back from Iraq, and have a 2001 vmax... It has 19k on it and starts fine, my brother has been useing it and I noticed a ticking sound on the right side of motor sounds like a valve, but louder... The sound is their when clutch is pulled in. The...

I've just developed a noise - more of a knock than a rattle (meaning that it is not random - but more rhythmic). It gets more pronounced when I apply some clutch friction and then disappears once the clutch is fully engaged (definitely coming from clutch housing). Is this a classic symptom...

I found it! http://www.jandssafeguard.com/ http://www.jandssafeguard.com/VampirePage/J%26S_Vampire.html Boost referenced retard and knock retard with externally switchable additional retard. Now you can run full timing off boost or off nitrous and still have retard, and no more than is...
