leak

Ok I have a 1985 RatMax that must just hates oil. I have had it since November and its leaked from the cover that the shift rod passes thru. I have replaced the gasket 3 times. The shift shaft seal and used various chemicals instead of gaskets. Last time it held perfectly for almost 24...

Hey guys I changed the oil last weekend and noticed that the bottom of the flywheel cover was leaking oil. It is not enough to leave more than a drop or two on my garage floor when she's sitting for a couple nights, but I would like to eliminate it. I put a new gasket on the cover when I...

Ive got a 95 Max with a stage 7 jet kit, k&n air filters, and a 4-1 Kerker exhaust. I took it down the strip last night for the first time. Unfortunately I had an oil leak on 2 of my 3 passes. They were the harder of the 3 passes but I'm trying to figure out where it might be coming from...

My buddies V max sounded different than mine. Mine sounds like its puffing more. I think I found out why. Looks like the connections are not slid in all the way. Any suggestions on how to push them in for leak free operation? And yes Iv tried loosening the clamp and pushing by hand. Loosen...

I just installed some solid motor mounts along with Marks Pipes and the K&N Intake from Morley. When I get up around 8g it looks like I get a splash of oil coming out on the cover on the left hand side... Question is, is it from the vibration of the solid mounts or the new pcv system...

hey everyone, new to the site, also new vmax owner.. i just bought an 06 with 5500 miles. i took it for a 120 mile ride, had to stop once for 5 min. for road construction. noticed the temp guage rising, when i got home, i noticed a few drops of green coolant on the lower right side. upon...

Hey guys. I noticed last fall that my Vmax was leaking on the left side of the motor. Now its on my kickstand and although not dripping it is making a mess, and sometimes will leave drops of oil on the ground (so maybe it is dripping?). This leak is on the left hand side of the motor above...

My '94 is leaking oil through a tube from the breather box out the bottom of the bike. Not much just a few drops after riding that drip down the kickstand. The breather box has a small coating of oil in it. I took it to the dealer and they found it and cleaned it out, they said they could'nt...

Ok, so I checked on my stored 88 vmax last night ans I noticed there was an antifreeze leak under it, after investigating it I found that it is comming from that plastic valve located behind the front tire, looks like a drain valve, is this a common problem , and is there a simple fix without...

Hey All, Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot, as it is my first post. This past summer I bought a 97 V-max, and have been chasing some minor engine oil leaks on it. I think I've got them all cleared up except one. It is hard for me to tell, but it appears that it comes out the...

Greetings from the still snow covered state of Utah! Sun is peaking through today so I decided to take the Max off the battery tender and fire it up. Coolant began leaking from the right front cylinder weep hole so I shut it down and started investigating... Pulled the plug out and found the...

1993 V-Max w/v-boost, 10,500 miles, fresh spark plugs, peashooter and shotgun treatments completed. Would only run with choke on. Took carbs off, cleaned all jets (three of the four pilot jets were clogged). Idles good now, but will not ome off idle, stumbles and blows back thru carbs. Continue...

Hi guys, I noticed I've developed a leak on my clutch line where the 'soft' line connects to the solid line at the motor. Can I just try to tighten this? Stupid question I know...

Does anybody know the torque for the water pump cover (five) bolts)? i came home and had a flood of coolant all over the garage floor and it looks like its coming from the lower bolt on the case cover. It ruined the paint on the floor, thats some nasty stuff. I removed the cover, rest of...

HELP, PLEASE! I noticed on my way home that my 07 VMAX is leaking oil out of where the black seal is that compresses up my left side fork, dripping down to the front brake caliper. Is this an expensive repair? I am NOT mechanically inclined. Lastly, can I use the bike at low speeds to go to...

I noticed an oil leak on the left front cylinder under the intake where it mates up to the engine. The bolt there is pretty darn tight so I don't want to tighten it anymore for fear of striping it out. I know oil comes up through that bolt hole just don't know if it goes anywhere. (other than...

I'm seeing a leak from the weep hole that is between the cylinder fins..is this a head gasket or??

Thought I had an oil leak at the front section of stator cover, changed middle gear and stator cover gaskets - guess what - it was still leaking - washed the engine off - started it up and laid on the ground to see where it's leaking. I would have never guessed - it's leaking at the mating...

Noticed that when the bike is on the side stand (not centerstand) it will leak a touch of oil out of the two allen bolts that secure the side left side engine cover. I checked the screws for tightness but they seemed good. The PO gave me the dealer paperwork that shows oil and filter changed a...

Today was my first day out on the new to me 06 max with 2K miles. Fun to say the least. Noticed that fluid was leaking from both the clutch and front brake masters. The leak was in the exact same spot on both. If you look in the photo you can see a very small square recess in parting line...
