mystery

Strange one. Out riding, stopped at junction and selected neutral. Despite engine already running, starter activated, plus oil and fuel warning lights illuminated. However, once in gear all returned to normal, at least as far as could be determined. Once home confirmed the problem persists, that...

Does anyone have an idea what these might fit ? I bought a few today. I am thinking they might mount on top of the stator cover or clutch cover on sport bikes as i found some that said Hayubsa they mount with 4 screws. I am gonna hang one on my wall for man cave art.

So I recently acquired some exhaust from eBay to my bike. here it is : http://www.ebay.de/itm/401055242299 It seems to be BSM exhaust, I cannot find anything from their website about this and when I mail them they answered once. I have managed to assemble front headers and other one of the...

So I've got a spare part (no really) it looks like this Removed carbs, exhausted, oil pan , oil feed tubes. Started too put it all back together finally but don't remember this piece and can't find it in the book.

Managed to get this 4 into 1 from ebay in the UK , made of stainless so should polish up ok came with a remus can but according to remus they never made an exhaust for the vmax 1200 . Rear pipes dont cross over so possible not a hindle would be grateful if anyone could identify it for me...

Ok, I am finally buttoning my '85 Vmax barnfind after extensive refurbishing of carbs, tank and wire connections ect. and this is another rubber part found in the tear down parts box. It has sticky glue on the other side. Any ideas where it goes?

Mystery of the Traub Motorcycle By Matt Williams In 1967, a plumber doing renovations of an apartment building outside Chicago tore down a brick wall and found what would prove to be a baffling mystery to vintage motorcycle enthusiasts - a one-of-a-kind motorcycle bearing 1917 plates and...

How does the forum feel about adding Marvel Mystery oil in small amounts as an additive during an oil change, and out of the 3.59 qt capacity, what would you consider a correct amount to add?

Getting this of a mate....any ideas anyone ?

My '04 has 19,000 miles, a full Mark's exhaust and Morley jet kit installed 2 years ago. For the last several months the bike has refused to idle and has a serious miss/hiccup between 3000 and 3500. It runs fine at full throttle, but around town hesistates and stumbles under 4000. We removed...

OK it's done it to me twice now.My '92 is running just fine then all of a sudden it starts popping real bad thru the exhaust,dies and won't restart.First time for a day second time for an hour.Then it restarts and runs fine.When it tries to restart it right away it will sometimes restart,idle...

I've got so much of me into this bike, it's probably got more of my DNA on and in it than I have left.... Today was Dyno Day. First time since I bought the Bitch.:rofl_200: No stage 7 kit, Just Jetted, Stock Shimmed Needles and running a Stock Air Box. Kerker 4-1 with Mark's 12" Can, 2"ID. Best...

I was trying to sync my carbs, and get no movement on the Carbtune, like there is not enough vacuum to operate the Carbtune. I then noticed that my #4 cylinder is not firing, spark is there, but header pipe is cool. Could the fact the #4 is not firing cause enough vacuum loss to not get...

Cleaning out the shop after a long cold winter and found this little item on the floor. I had the bottom pan off my Max as well as the carbs, valve covers and the front head. I don't recall ever seeing this. Anybody recognize it? Thanks.

I couldn't decide where to put this so I chose a General Forum. It involves my clutch, a dyno run and the mystery of about 20 missing Horse Power... It warmed up a little here in Not so Sunny Florida. I took Mary and we went for a short ride tonight. About 10 minutes into it, I jumped on the...

1993 V-Max w/v-boost, 10,500 miles, fresh spark plugs, peashooter and shotgun treatments completed. Would only run with choke on. Took carbs off, cleaned all jets (three of the four pilot jets were clogged). Idles good now, but will not ome off idle, stumbles and blows back thru carbs. Continue...

It's a small black plastic cube looking device. It has what looks to me like a white dial built into it on the face and a very small dia tube (possibly 1/16" or a gnat's ass bigger) that punches through the Air Cleaner Joint. The other end of this item has another tube to which a small clear...

I recently acquired an 86 Vmax..Had a knock and took a gamble that it wouldn't be major - well I crapped out.. Pulled the pan and discovered the bad news..Cylinder#3 barely has any bearing left..Cylinder #1 still has both bearings but some wear..Crank is not severly scored but does have a ridge...

I've read the oil leak thread and any other threads I could find but none seem to give me an answer....please advise. I've replaced the clutch rod seal thinking that was it since it's very close to the leaking area. That didn't work. First off-I degreased the area and when engine is running...

Hi, I have a problem with my idle. I have cleaned the idle jets per the instuctions on this forim. After I clean them idle is great for about 60 miles then it starts to miss and pop out of the carb. I have cleaned them 3 times, not sure what else to look for. Any Ideas?? Thanks 1986 Vmax
