    Missing expansion tank cap

    My bike is missing its original radiator (overflow)expansion tank cap. The previous owner had been using a regular plastic screw cap, that has come from a 1 liter bottle of engine oil. The screw thread matches, but it obviously doesn't seal the system, which should be pressurized. I am never...

    Salvaged 2009 for $2000?

    How much of a hassle would this be to get it going again as a naked street fighter? http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mpo/5731547596.html He is about 1.5 hours away and says the bike starts (but how can that be without the ECU?) Not quite a basket case but the seller says it needs...

    Who is missing the special key and case for their 2009?

    Long story short I had a 2009 Vmax and sold it to a dealer who sold it to someone else sometime in 2011 or 2012. Today, while cleaning out my desk I found the key. If this is your key I'll be happy to send it to you, but first we're going to have to figure out a way to be sure it's yours...

    Missing a few dust covers...

    I noticed I am missing a few dust covers. I plan on replacing them, but I am not sure how quickly I should it. The dust cap on the driveshaft is missing. I think the part missing on the rear wheel is also a dust cover of some sort, but I am not sure. I used the picture of my other bike to show...

    Brass plug missing for needle valve seat

    Anyone know where to get a brass pressed plug that goes into the carb housing where the needle valve sits? The previous owner knocked it out while trying to rebuild the carbs and I can't see them on the parts listing. Attached a pic to see the gaping hole left behind after his handywork. :bang...

    Missing clamp...

    I have managed to get the old exhaust off the bike, and I went to put the new exhaust on. This is when I discovered that I am missing one of the four exhaust clamps. Not a problem, right? I can just use one of the clamps from the stock exhaust! Wrong... they seem to be tack welded to the...

    Vmax missing at low RPM/idle

    Seems like that low rpm idle problem is popping up alot in this now hot weather. I feel fairly sure that the problem on mine is the wires. Upon inspection, the wires were very badly corroded where they plug into the coils, and I was missing one of the grommets that hold the plug wire to the...

    Missing hose?

    Missing hose? (Answered) Loud occasional clicking? The max has been a dream bike of mine for awhile. I found a 2006 with a meager 2000 miles on it and have been doing my best to double that before the season is out :) This bike is too nice of a machine to live as a garage ornament! Anyway...

    stupid question, missing bolt...

    I have noticed a rattling noise when driving on rough roads on my 2000 Vmax, and found that I am missing the bolt that goes through the fender and into bottom of the seat area (from the bottom up). It is the center one that is missing, and it appears to be different from the ones on the sides...
