    Bikes runs but front left cylinder is not firing

    I got my bike up and running finally but it ran rather rough and I felt the exhaust and the front left is dead cold. Did a compression test and it started at 90 psi and finished at 150 psi so I assume the issue is not mechanical. The plug was not wet and looked clean. I swapped over the plug...

    Oops I left out the special washer!?

    Well, I had my left side engine covers off to fix an oil leak at the pick-up wires joint. The might as wells got me and I decided to prep and re-paint the covers while they were off. Went for a 25 mile high speed test run today, and after looking in the hole under the clutch bleed boot during...

    Engine Oil Leak - Front Left

    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...

    Right steering rest is much further than left

    I noticed that the throttle grip reaches much closer to the faux tank than the clutch grip. Eventually I had to turn the grip to raise the brake lever to move throttle cables away from the faux tank after a few nasty scratches appeared next to the right triple tuning fork. Also I have to move...

    Low battery just left me stranded

    I guess I have to go through my wiring again to find why I'm not holding a charge again. Last year I cleaned up all the grounds and I thought I had it fixed, but this morning it cranked very slowly, and half way to work it died when I came to a stop. Not enough juice to crank it over now. Ah...

    left side crank case leak

    I noticed the crankcase cover on the left side was dripping oil. I ordered and replaced the O-ring and the large gasket, but still have a oil leak, and when I pull the cover off it looks like its coming from the center area. Does anybody have a suggestion or recommendation of what else to check.

    Rear pegs, backrest, and left rad cover

    Hey all, I just bought my first V-max (a '89), but at quick glance it's missing a few pieces/parts. To start I'm looking for a set of rear pegs with the mounting studs, a backrest upright and pad, and left side radiator cover. If someone has those part setting around, please let me know...

    Front left signal not working?

    I figured the bulb was shot. Picked up a new bulb, the old one looks fine. I put new bulb in, but still no flasher:damn angry:. The running light works, and the rear left signal flashes fast just like if the front bulb was out. I recently installed a wind screen and had the forks removed, if...

    Left rear header is loose?

    Installed some Supertrapps this weekend without much trouble but I noticed that the left rear header had some "play" in it. It'd move about 1/2" front to back like it's loose. Ran out of time to pull the exhaust covers to see whats going on. Is this normal? Or something to be concerned about? To...

    Small switch above left scoop?

    Looks like a small aftermarket switch, on the left side, just above the left scoop. I haven't messed with it because I have no idea what it is for. I've looked on here to see if on any other bikes, and didn't see any. Any ideas what it could be?

    Right blinkers not working but left are

    I have a problem with the right blinkers not working but the left ones are. It is a 2004 and blinkers are factory. I have checked the bulbs and they are both good. The right front driving light also works okay. What could it be?:ummm:

    Well, I did it again...but easy come easy go right?? She is a very understanding person but I guess it got to be too much. I should have seen it coming, when I bought the semi trailer to store my extra parts in because my warehouse is too full, or when I bought the connex to store my extra...
