Strange noise in low rpm (solved) Hi guys, since today my vmax 1200 '97 speaks some strange noise on low rpm (900-1100). First squeaking noise comes out between front and right cylinders under the carbs.When I add some throttle noise goes away. Similar kind of noise also on low rpm comes...

So my bike has been sitting since Nov and when it was parked everything worked fine, but now the clutch lever has about 1/3 the resistance it usually has when I pull it in. I started the bike a week or so ago and when I pulled in the lever to shift to 1st it didn't quite stall but it took off...

Yesterday, I left work with 109 miles on the trip odometer; usually at around 115 to 118 miles the low fuel light would normally kick on. Well it didn't, so I rode on knowing that I should be able to make it into town at about 120 or 125. Well I pull to the gas station with 129 on the clock and...

Hi all, the PO said that he replaced the stator with a new one about a year before he stopped driving it on my 85 barnfind. Here's what it looks like. Is this discoloration normal for one that is relativity new? What would cause the load that would cause enough heat to discolor the coils like...

Well, I have sold my zzr1200 and should be selling my M109R in a week or so. I am looking at getting a 2nd gen. Vmax, but I have noticed a trend. Most of the Vmax's are sort of low milage. That is what I want when looking at a bike, but is there a reason why the milage is so low on most of...

New guy, probably old question. 2004 max, all stock except supertrapp slip-ons. Carbs rebuilt, valves adjusted a few months ago. Anyways, I noticed when running down the road at low rpm if I gas it, it cuts out till the rpms come up. Don't have any idle, or starting issues, but have also...

I have an 89' Max with 22,000 miles on it, Pods, Stage 7, and Cobra exhaust but otherwise stock. The last time I rode it developed a exhaust thump, the regularity of which had me thinking it was a single cylinder issue. Did shotgun, no improvement. Pulled plugs, verified spark, and compression...

I've been fighting with a rough idle for a long time and read all the posts about this on the forum. When the bike gets past the "normal" operating temp...close to the red but never overheating it would run rough and sometimes stall at lights and intersections...not good or safe! I received...

I changed my worn out metzeler 880 to michelin commander II and now bike "wobbles" around 40-45mph, it feels like its up and down movement? I can take my hands of the bars when it occurs. I think it made this sometimes with old tire too, but now it is all the time at that speed. Lower or higher...

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...

Hi all! I am determined to get my VMAX back on the road. It has been down for 2 years. Here is what is going on.. It won't idle. When I am driving it it feels fine. Pull in clutch, dies. Stop and go traffic I have to keep reving the engine to keep it running. I took it to a repair...

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...

I've gone through RaWarrior's how-to on taking care of low voltage. I fixed the crimp in the harness, replaced the r/r with a mosfet version from a zx14, replaced the battery, added connections directly from the r/r to the battery, and I finally replaced the stator yesterday. It's still not...

Working on an 85 with 27K miles, hasn't run good since I got it. I bought a set of 85 carbs off ebay and rebuilt them, top to bottom. Did everything the right way, got alot of help from Danny along the way. Got them all together on the bike, and it's still running like crap. It's like the...

Hi guys. I just acquired a 2001 V-Max that has been sitting garaged for 4 years now. It only has 9700 miles and looks perfect. The carbs were NASTY. Everything inside was gunned up and nothing would move. I took the entire thing apart and cleaned in Chem-Dip. All the parts look new and...

Hey I dont have my air compressor handy.. So I was wondering if I can do the same trick I did to my V65 magna- Pull the low speed carb screws and just blast in some b-12 chemtool carb spray.. then re assemble.. Will that work as a decent alternative to the "shotgun" cleaning method? She runs...
