problem

Hi Guys, I got a new back tire today, when I got home (which was an hour drive from the bike shop) the guy from the bike shop phoned me to tell me he just found a bush from my back wheel which they accidently forgot to put in. He is coming to pick up my bike the day after tomorrow (which I...

I tightened the bolts on the exhaust, a few of them where little better than finger tight. I couldnt get at the to inner rear bolts to check them :bang head: what kinda special allen wrenches do you need to get at those? Ive got regular L and socketed Allens and cant get either seated...

Hi Guys, Just wonderin if I can collect a few thoughts before I do next action....I have a problem clutch which only seems to occur when the bike is hot and I have been on a run say over an hours or so, problem is disengaging from first when coming to stop, it seems stuck in so bad I have to...

Okay... where to begin... umm lets see almost a year ago i bought my vmax and had it about 3 weeks when i decided to paint and clean and fix it up a bit, new bearings, brakes......ect ect ect i also pulled the carburetors to clean them since it had been sitting a while and ever since then... it...

Hi, I'm following Sean's video on how to pull apart my forks. I have an '85, and I can't budge the fittings where the air goes in. I've tried slding the forks down and bashing them on the lower triple clamp - no luck. Is there something I'm missing? The manuals I have say "pull them off"...

Installed COPS kit from gannon on my stock 85 max. Now the max takes a long time to start. With my original coils it fired right away. Once running it runs fine. After riding I have a hot start problem if shut off. Have done the direct wiring to the battery. Possible starter? It is original...

Decided I never had checked the float level on this thing, this is my first max only had it 4 three months. So took it part all the levels were way off they went all the way up so I'm sure this has been some of my problems always smelled gassy. So adjusted put back on went to start gas stared...

I posted awhile back about my problem with starting my Vmax. It will only start with the clutch pulled. In neutral or in gear, it will start with the clutch pulled but will not start in any configuration with the clutch out. I've checked (replaced) the diode pack, checked the kick stand switch...

Starts fine gets hot don't start, replaced battery didn't help took apart the starter worked for awile just rebuilt the starter still does it check the charging. At idle around 11.5 2000 rpms 13.5 did the wire fix with soder I'm stumped do the make a better after market starter and charging system

A friend of mine has installed a brembo master cylinder on his vmax clutch system. It worked fine untill one day no pressure was on his lever. We did all the things we could do to bleed the system( gravity, syringe) as we were trying to find out what was the problem. We bumped into it. When we...

Ok i switched to my dyna i had it on the self .i used stock ignition module. Even at stock settings untill 2000 rpm my engine dont run good. After 2000 it clears in every gear it is happenig. It feel like when you run your engine when it is very cold without choke that makes some gaps until you...

I have a new problem with my max. When I hit the starter switch the starter doesn't engage right away. Someone told me it could be the battery though when I connect a small charger it doesn't help. Is the starter a common problem? My bike is an 04 with 18k miles on it.

So I've read through quite a few threads on the o-ring issue, but have yet to find a solid solution. It seems to me that it is a combination of two things - a soft silicone o-ring, and the oil pipe not being seated deeply enough. So, what would be the most reliable fix? A different o-ring with...

After seeing a friend's garage set up recently, I especially liked the stand/chock assembly for easily holding bikes upright for maintenance. I liked it so much I bought one. Probably old hat for many of you, but I'm having to build my tool set back up after losing decades worth of stuff...

Id sure appreciate it. This problem is driving me freakin nuts! 1996 Pontiac Bonneville SE (non supercharged) with 195k on the clock. Having electrical issue. When coming to a stop sign, making a slow turn, or sometimes just idling in park or neutral the car will stall out. It only does...

Today i got my carbs from John Furbur. Pcw setup. Installed them to my bike. all good so far. turn the key push the ignition button and vroommmmm.. smiled and what the ****. from the T joint (where the join so they get fuel.) fuel leaks. i should post pictures but in this time i forgot my...

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem with the stock Bridgestone Excedra G526 tires. These tires do not have a round profile, more of a shallow curve to the tread and then a "corner" or "ledge" where the tread goes to the sidewall. You don't have to lean very far to get on this...

I have an 04 that has developed a nasty grinding noise when I hit the starter button, as if it had worn teeth on the starter gear. I know it's not the battery because I put a 100 amp charger on the battery and it still made the grinding noise. Has anyone else had this problem? Was it the starter?
