problem

Hello all I didn't see an intro page, but this is my first post as a new member. I am a VERY proud owner of a new (to me) '85 max. Been looking at these bikes for 4/5 years now and I finally found one I could afford! Couldn't be happier with it. Anyway, thanks a lot for the...

sometimes the fuel will stop going to the fuel pump. ill break down, take off the seat, and unplug the tube between the filter and pump, and ill hear a lot of pressure release and the fuel draining back into the tank. -then it runs fine until the next ride. what can be done about this pain...

o.k. I fire up my 06 max and it misses. After it stalls out the servo motor for the v-boost keeps going on and off and the tach goes up and down. Any help would be appreciated:bang head:

Installed my billet ignition cover today. Looks way better than the chewed up stock ignition (looks like someone once used a screw driver) But the key can't enter the ignition properly with it on. I will attempt filing down some of the rubber on my actual key... for now my first mod is a...

I have a little problem with my carburetors. I tested it with WOT at 5th gear at 4k rpm. I feel a delay before it start accelerating. I also have just a 3 cylinders working at 7-8k. I believe it?s too rich, so I taked of the "Y" from my filter. It is runs better. All cylinders worked without...

Hey, I'm new and I'm carb ignorant. I'm trying to revive a '96 max that's been sitting since 2000. I've done everything I can, including the "shotgun". The bike started, to my surprise, but one of the carbs is continously pumping gas out of the overflow. I'm thinking it's a stuck float but I'm...

Any help would be awesome! From 1,000 to 3,000 rpm just tooling around town it feels like my max is missing and loading up. Put seafoam in it today hope this helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i had to add a little brake fluid & now the thing won't stop leaking i didn't add too much it still needs more it leaks from the right side of the reservoir any ideas is the rubber boot already bad i only have 6000 miles on the bike. thanks for any help

So overnight, out of nowhere, the bike goes from idling perfectly at 1000 rpm to idling at 750-800 rpm, sounding a bit like it's running on 3 cylinders :ummm: Also, at times it still 'sneezes' at low revs, has been doing that forever even before and after the carbs rebuild. But now, I'm also...

I just bled my front brakes (the fluid looked real old) and then went on to the clutch. Undid the master reservoir screws, sucked out most of the old stuff with a syringe, topped it up with fresh fluid. Then loosened the bleed screw on the slave cylinder and pulled the clutch lever - old dirty...

Ok folks I figured out my high idle and I still am having a high speed miss. I have ruled out anything in the carbs and my synch is good to go. The bike runs like a freight train until 6-7k rpms and then misses all over the place until redline. I have yellow spark plug wires and have...

Two days ago I rode the bike home for lunch. When I got back on it to go back to work it had trouble idleing and hesitated off of idle. It would run fine at WOT though. So I check the headers with a laser thermometer to see what cylinders are ******* up. The RH front cylinder is at 100 degrees...

Ok, the clutch was working. I took the master cylinder off to clean the corrosion off and paint it. I also pulled off the clutch cover to paint it as well. I put it back together, filled it up, and there is no resistance when I pull the lever. I tried and tried to bleed it and pumped the crap...

94' vmax. My front turnsignal burned out last week. I replaced it with the wrong bulb on accident. ( Single filiment in dual filiment socket). Rode it for a day. Took te bulb out. First my head light did not work. Now when I turn the key on the only thing that works is the opposite front turn...

This thread is a continuation of the following threads, part I and II.... http://www.vmaxforum.net/search.php?searchid=83806 .... Bought an inductive light today - as an upgrade to my existing one - that has an RPM meter built in. Warmed the bike up to operating temp, then clamped pickup...

Hi guys, This is part II of Perplexing Problem (http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=4572). I'm still trying to figure out why I'm getting some kind of sputtering - some days better, some days worse..... Took a ride today and the bike wanted to sputter and cough regardless of RPM...

On my 2005 vmax when i go to put it in gear i always seem to get quite a loud 'Clunk' and bike seems to jump a little, after a few miles its very hard to select neutral from first, the gear lever seems to stick. Once the bike is moving the gearbox works perfect, i've changed the clutch fluid and...

Went out earlier for a ride and my bike starting doing something funny. I didnt have time to check it out, in laws are in town, I will have to look tomorrow after work. Aftet riding for two hours on my way home I noticed my tach wasnt working properly. My tach wont rev above 4 grand, even...
