low

I removed my battery today to see if it was weak, since I've been having problems hot starting at times. On the bench, it tested at 10.2V (aargh). I think that says a lot for the COPs - it still starts no problem! It's an Interstate battery, and it used to be a little on the dry side when I...

Hey guys, I am in need of your help in trying to figure out how to solve my steering wobble at speeds of 40-50. It is really felt when decelerating from high speed through the 50-40 range. I just put new Metezler 880 tires on last week & my bike has not been the same since. I have had my front...

Has anyone experienced any fuel starvation issues as the fuel level in the tank gets closer to reserve and then progressively worse as the level drops?

Turbo VMAX dragbike. I am impressed. Who is this guy?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psrZ_jDCWUY&NR=1

When I'm switching lanes on the highway if their's any difference in the two lanes my front end wobbles a few times and then calms down. Would this be from too tight or too lose on those bolts? (I'll do the furbur fix next week - but since that's the only problem hated to mess with what was...

Hi all once again. A strange problem has surfaced with my 95 max recently and I believe it is a regulator/rectifier issue but am not too confident with checking things out using the fault finder. Electrical has never been my cup of tea and I don't want to burn something out. :ummm: So can...

Hi, I have an '07, changed the oil for the first time around 600miles with a compatible replacement filter, and Rotel oil, everything was fine for 1800miles, then changed to Royal Purple bike synthetic, now, after warmup, oil light turns on around/above 6K rpms. I changed back to Rotel to see...

Can someone tell me why there seem to be soooo many low mileage V-maxes for sale :ummm: I mean it's not unusual to see 1980' series V-max advertised as low mileage 20,000 to 35,000 miles and I can't believe that this is the case. I figure to be that low it has to have a) Had the speedo drive...

I have 15 gallons of 100LL Avgas left over from a dunes trip with the sand rail. So instead of it going bad I'm running it in the Max. Is there anything wrong with this?

Hi all :-) First post here I have thoroughly read all posts pertaining to idle/low speed issues and carb issues and I still have a low speed/idle problem. Conditions: I have owned the bike from new (1994). It is completely stock. I do not ride much (about 1000 miles/year). Recently I let...

Simple question...what does the collective wisdom say is the lowest you can lower a vmax before practicle problems arise? 2 inches? 3 inches? more? What has everyones experience been with rad interference etc? :hmmm:

Guys - Was going about 25mph and went over a small bump and front end began to wobble. What could be possible cause? I verified everything is tight. I tried to check the air in the Forks and read nothing. I think the air fill valve is no good as I didn't get any air out when trying to exhaust...

First post here. Just got my first Max last week. It is a 86. Ive wanted one of these since 85 when they first came out, and finally got one. Bike runs fine and starts every time, but... lights dim when motor is revved so I checked the voltage at the battery. When it is idling it will be...

Looking for a fairly new (not worn/torn) seat assembly for my '85 Max. I had my seat redone by Jon at UFO (Starfighter). It is very comfortable on the tailbone, but it sits a little low and the arm/handlebar/seat/foot relationship isn't right for me. Has only been used (ridden 6-8 times) in the...

Last weekend I took my Max on a 1700 mile ride. All went very well except for discovering a low speed wobble that was worse than most high speed ones. At about 50 mph I took my hands off the bars to readjust my gloves. As the bike slowed to about 40mph the front end started to shake and...
