leak

Hey guys. New owner here. Just bought my 05 last fall and only put a few hours on it before putting it away for the winter. When I started it last weekend I had fuel leaking from under the faux tank. When I removed it I found 2 rubber hoses on each side of the airbox running up from underneath...

guys more poor baby just hit 10k miles. i went into my garage yesterday and saw oil near the kick stand. i think it is coming from the shifter seal. is that common and how hard is it to replace? any other ideas on where that is coming from would be great. Thanks, Sid

Hi needed Help.!! how can oil be in the coolant reservoir but not in the engine oil? i noticed some sludge in my coolant reservoir. had some choice words for a few seconds then cleaned it out i had roughly a cup or fluid where the coolant had a layer of sludge...

Hello, My vmax started leaking coolant from the drain valve and I was wondering if there is anything special about fixing it. If I take it apart what will I need to put it back together? Thanks

Noticed a few drops of gear oil right under the rear end/shaft tube joint but it didn't feel wet. Bike was on side stand, could it be coming/running from somewhere else? How hard is it to fix that seal?

I have an oil leak coming from the the boot where the drive shaft exits the engine. From the reading I've been doing here it could be a few things. What's the best way track it down, and what is the most common cause? I also noticed a 1/4 inch gap under the boot - it's not fitting snug. Is...

Needing some input from some vmaxers who've dealt with this. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I'm mechanically inclined, but just not sure where to start. See the pics attached, but I have an oil leak from near where the kickstand is. I've tried cleaning it off multiple times now, to...

I noticed a small coolant leak on the right side of the engine above the foot brake. It looks like a small round hole on the casing. Hole is about a 1/8 or less. It looks like it is supposed to be there, but I noticed a little coolant spray on the exhaust. Anyone have similar issue or can...

I was working on my exhaust and removed the old gaskets hoping to do a cleaner job but i havent found gaskets yet so i installed the exhaust can back but now obviously there is a leak at all four pipes where they connect to each other. the bike seemed to run fine with a little power loss at low...

My bike has developed an oil leak; it is leaking from the left side just behind the kickstand...now when I put the bike on its centerstand, it doesn't leak. You guys have any ideas???

I have just noticed that the red light has just started to come on more often to find a small oil leak coming from the left front and right rear cylinder head , the oil and filter are due for a change all so . Is this a gasket change or is it something else . What do I need to look for ?:ummm:

Need some advice on Clutch Master Cylinder leak. After more than 2 years without starting my 1993 Vmax, I finally had the time to put it to work. I was surprised how easy it started after so long, maybe because I've done carbs work before stop using it. Since then, I have been riding a...

oil runs down left exaust at rear of engine. I think I can see it misting a bit in that area when running but cant pinpoint the source. How hard a fix? Ok

I spotted a leak after the bike sat overnight, noticed a spot on the floor. At first I thought it was an oil leak, but it's definitely gas, my whole garage smells of gas today. It was only a few drops actually on the ground, but I then noticed that there is a film all over the left side of...

Well I finaly pinned down my oil leak, coming out from the wires in the upper square rubber grommet of the left cover. I removed the middle gear cover for access, and I can push/pull the pick-up wires thru the rubber grommet. The stator wires and lower grommet are tight and not leaking. Has...

I went for an overnight ride about 300 miles each way over the weekend. On the way out I noticed oil all over the side stand when I arrived. Turns out the gasket is leaking on the top of stator cover and running down the side of the bike. When I got home, the leak worse by now, I plugged in the...

So having replaced by bad 2nd gear, I've put everything back together and filled up with oil, only to find out I have a bad leak at the bottom center of the alternator cover :bang head::bang head: The engine runs great though, which is happy news. Haven't tried the gears yet as I'm rebuilding...

I’ve got an engine oil leak on my 93 vmax but I can’t tell where it is coming from. The oil seems to be coming from the front left side cover. The cover bolts were a bit loose so I tightened them down a bit but that didn’t seem to help. It’s not the valve covers because they have been...

My bike is starting to leak coolant from the elbow where it goes into the water pump, any special trick to no damaging the elbow? Should I rebuild the water pump while I'm at it? Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Is it common to get an oil leak where the breather housing spacer meets the block? Is there a gasket I need to replace and do I have to pull the carbs to do it? Thanks.
