Hello all, long time no post.
For my Gen 1, I tried fixing the hot start/charging problems...result warm starts now possible (have yet to get to the starter) but went riding yesterday and found out that my brake light is permanently on. Wiring work of late was 2 things (third side note is: also...
Just hanging out on a country road waiting for the wife to bring me fuel. PO told me fuel light was dim but didn't say that the fuel light just didn't work AT ALL and neither does the reserve switch.
what is available for the rear brake light? the only thing that i don't like about it, is it sticks out past the fender. i would much rather it be under the fender, or flush with the edge of the fender. i think i'm gonna have to go with something that is universal fit. led is an option.
Hi dear All, I bought my Vmax recently without the brake light. All is fitted in the indicators, back light and brake light. The entire original indicator assembly is missing. So I intend to re-install the original LED brake light and found one in AMAZON with the remark: not to be used for Vmax...
I bought a couple of used radiator side covers from a member here and they have what appear to be electrical wires coming out of the yellow reflectors. It seems to me that there might be a light in there that goes on when you turn on the flashers. My 86 bike's covers didn't have these wires...
Hey guys, rookie electrical question here-
I have a nice little red led light, just a single led ready for 12v. I wanted to mount it next to my t-boost switch so when it's off, and the vboost activates at the stock 6000rpm. Then when I flick the switch to the 3000rpm activation mode, the led...
I was out yesterday ride around the 25 miles mark at a stop light - bike started running choppy almost cutting off. I made it back home but every time I came to a stop I had to kinda rev the motor a little to keep it running at idle.
When got home check the voltage at the motor running 12.2...
My '85 has some issues at light throttle/cruise especially in higher gears/heavier load. The bike is stock other than the 4 into 4 Cobra slip-ons. I pulled the carbs and cleaned them, replaced a coast enricher diaphragm that was bad, jetted it down to 147.5 base on Sean's advice due to the...
I received my new to me Cybermax headlight from Kyle (CaptainKyle).
Now I want to upgrade the lights on it and have been searching the net on what would work best. Unfortunately, all it did is confuse the crap out of me.
I want a high/low beam light that are waterproof to fit in the 2" holes...
Hey guys,
Spring is upon us here in Canada and I had my bike outside for most of the winter (but it was winterized and covered). The problem is the rear tire/disc ended up not being completely covered and there is now light rust covering the rear disc.
Should I take some steel wool and...
I saw this LED tail/brake light without integrated turn signals though for the max. It is plug and play as wiring harness included. They will even put the oem connectors for your specific application on the harness (for a fee) otherwise you have to put the ends on yourself. Only drawback is the...
Hello all,
Noticed that my "Oil Level" indicator lights comes on for second or two when I am really hitting it on the throttle. While I understand that nailing the throttle makes me and the bike pull a few g's, I thought I'd ask the combined experience of the forum if there is any other...
Went for a ride today and the speedo started to cut out now it doesn't go at all . I took the hearhead light out etc to get to cable but all seemed ok . I put it all back together but light doesn't work but it does on full beam . Is it time for a new cable or do I keep looking . As for the light...
I found a brake light modulator on eBay(http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Brake-light-modulator-4xfast-4xslow-steady-Up-to-300-LEDs-/261034810174?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc6e31b3e&vxp=mtr), ordered and installed it today along with a set of LED tail light bulbs that I picked...
I was thinking about adding a LED light accent kit to the bike. Once I started shopping, I quickly got confused. :ummm: There are so many kits available, I'm not sure what way to go. Has anybody added LED's to their bikes?
Any help on helping me make a decision will be appreciated.:punk:
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the Vmax. I picked up my '85 with about 18k mile on it. It had very poor idle quality, bogged in between shifts and bucked and popped at cruise. I did the shotgun and it made a huge difference, but there are still some issues.
The idle is erratic...
Hi All,
