    Effects of Master Cylinder Size, Lever Length, ect.

    Ok, in my quest to make my bike the perfect bike for me, I have found I want some changes in the braking department. While the stock Vmax brakes seem to do the job just fine in most instances, I do know that they can be better. With the front brakes, the pull feels lighter than what I would...

    Gear shift lever

    I installed the Wild Hair peg lowering mounts. It helped stretch out my legs but the pegs they sell were not very wide so replaced them with some Arlen Ness versions which are much wider and comfortable. However, the lowering mount has moved my foot outward slightly and I am kinda of...

    Clutch Lever not engaging

    Hi Mad maxers, I just bought a 2001 VMAX stock in great shape with 9400 miles on it a few weeks ago. Although I've ridden bikes for a long time this is my first V-Max so I thought I'd ask for advise before I work on it. My Clutch lever isn't engaging. Basically when I pull the lever, it pulls...

    How did you setup your clutch lever?

    Still considering myself a newb to VMax and still considering myself rusty on the riding, I've really been trying to nail down the perfect shift on my VMax. It's definitely gotten better since I first bought my VMax. I've progressed from a clunk to a nice snick. But I want better. :) So this...

    Wiring at Clutch Lever

    I swapped my stock Vmax clutch master and lever for one from a FJR1300 so I could have the adjustability of the lever. So the switch on the FJ has three prones, but when I looked at the wiring diagram is only showns the same two wires that the Vmax has. Blue and Black. I tried sticking those...

    No clutch lever pressure

    I just installed Kawasaki ZX-14 reservoirs so I could fit adjustable levers to my 2000 VMax. The brake needed bleeding but after was tight as a drum and works perfectly, but the clutch is as floppy as a wet noodle and I just drain the reservoir when I try to bleed it. My bike is currently...

    Backfire from right pipe until choke lever is wiggled

    I placed this topic under general because I'm not sure, although I have an idea of where the specific problem lies. I just bought a 2005 VMAX anniversary edition. It has 9000 miles, always garage kept and looks brand new. When I bought it, it ran perfectly without any issues and I decided to buy...

    2 things here sticky brake lever and i got brake fluid all over!!!

    Gonna explain this best i can, the brake lever when you pull it slow it is sticky and sqeaky but if you pull it hard like for a hard stop its fine, the slower you pull the worse it is, and the noise seems to come from under the resivior where the plunger is, also when i open the cover brake...

    Choke lever locking screws

    Does anyone know the part# for this Screw , washer set up. I noticed mine are missing so Choke lever floats and can not set choke without holding. Just bought the 88 Vmax 1200 and have started to replace missing parts and screws as I discover them.
