Hi Guys, Just bought a V-Max about a month ago, I had previously been riding crotch rockets...

Once I bleed...

Hello, I have been rejetting my carbies and now they are back together I am getting fuel leaking out of the breather on number 3. I think it is caused by the needle and seat. They are clean and I swapped the needle from 3 to 4 and 3 still leaks. Does this mean the seat is screwed? Is there...

I am starting to think my VMax hates me. I went for a nice 203 mile ride from Apopka FL to Del Rey Beach FL. Three major roads to get there, I was in heaven. But, with joy comes pain. I removed the seat and seen oil on the side of it. Didnt think much of it until I came around to the clutch and...

Ok, now it's getting a little crazy. I put new carbside intake boots when I saw the old ones wet with gas and they're still doing it??? #2 & #3 cylinder boots are all wet and I can see the bottom of those carbs are wet as well. I did a really good clean, shotgun + (soaked them all in my dunk...

Anyone used JB Weld to repair a radiator? Tire kicked up a rock and hit the core damaged one of the tubes.

For more than a week I noticed a leak coming from the diff. It drips at the bottom near the drain plug. After cleaning i noticed it not coming from the plug but I think between the diff and the plastic dust seal. Not really sure. I didn't remove the diff yet to check. Any idea where it could...

so it appears i'm getting an oil leak near my water pump. Best i can tell the oil doesn't have water in it and the water doesn't have oil in it but i got some oil there. Is it as simple as draining the coolant and oil and replacing the gasket and 2x o rings for the elbow? parts 18 and 23...

Hi everyone, first of all thanks for the great information on this site my vmax runs like a dream because of this forum. Its a a 1500 resleave (PCW) with copper head gaskets. After a few 100kms of running in the rear head gasket is weaping a very small amount of coolant. Other than replacing...

Ok, I have a 03 Max with 11,000m on her the valve cover gaskets are starting to seep. I just started to use AmsOil in her the last oil change. I have seen no less than 4 miles per gallon increase in MPG. I am going to change the valve cover gaskets before riding season. Will I have a problem...

I noticed a drip once in a while when I pull the clutch lever in and now it seems to be getting worse. My question is, is that the master cyl rebuild kit that I need to get? And is it an easy rebuild ( no special tools) or should I take it to someone who would have any special tools or...
