Hi from Norway! My completely stock '99 1200 145hp V-max has developed a stutter,especially when warm. I cant feel this when the engine is cold. When I cruise on low revs the engine stutters and makes it very uncomfortable to ride. When I run on high revolutions I can't notice the problem. When...

Bit desperate here, need to sell my Vmax, just prepping for the MOT I have just bled the clutch because it was a bit spongy after the bike sitting for a while. The clutch has pressure but feels like a front brake, with huge pressure but obviously not moving the pushrod and clutch plates...

Looking for some troubleshooting help. When I let go of the handlebars on my 2005 Vmax with 8300 miles on it, I get a violent shake, wobble. Only over 30 miles per hour, though. Anything a novice mechanic can check. Otherwise it's going to a dealer. Thanks.
