problems

Has any one had issues with the mount kit for the Mini III? The standoffs will not fit on the up-right bar on one side. My guess is that the up-right bar is out of round or a little larger than the hole in the standoff... I got this months ago off the internet, it was new but I bet returning...

First wanted to thank eveyone that gave me some advice as well as all the information in this forum that made it possible to tear all this stuff open and find the issues. I ended up tearing all 4 carbs open, took everything out of them that I could unscrew and soaked them. No wonder the bike...

Mains changed to 147.5 today. Still stumbles badly at 5500 rpm. Low end power is awesome and after about 8 seconds of stumbling, I am able to nurse it into the higher rpms then...hold on!!! 115 mph when I shut it down (got scared and ran out of room). V-boost is still disconnected and in the...

Hi all! This is my first post to the forum and I'm starting with an SOS to all Vmax carburetor experts! Due to my stupidity I left fuel in the bike over the course of the Winter and of course it gummed up my pilots on the carbs. The bike didn't want to hold an idle unless the choke was on. I...

I was running bike (95 1200) working on getting carbs tuned, got agravated and covered it up. went back 2 days latter and noticed pump not priming for the few seconds when key is turned on. checked wireing and so on and found pump was dead. I tryed something little nuts but, I had a new Mr...

I am having some sort of charging problems. Had stator and rectifier replaced by mechanic now charges at 13.6 at idle but when I rev it up to 5,000 rpm and check it with voltmeter it drops to 12 or below. When I take it for short rides it runs ok at first but it then runs worse and worse while...

Anyone else experiencing problem with the oil level light staying on? My 09 low oil level light has stayed on twice while riding the bike. Oil level is ok in window. I will have it checked by dealer when I change oil at 500 miles. Might be bad mojo having the first problems with the 09 at 120...

Hi I'm hoping someone can give me some good suggestions or name a place that I can take my motorcycle to and get it fixed. I own a 97 vmax that started acting like my plugs were fouled or the sparkplug wires were bad so I took it to one motorcycle shop and had them replace the plugs and wires...

Bike is some times hard to downshift and takes alot of lever effort to get it upshifted. It is a 2005 so I didnt know if I should check the assembly with the pins. My dad did lay it down going into a driveway that twisted my shift lever all up. I just dont know where to start. I went through...

I have an 85 v-max. My dad was the original owner from 85, so needless to say I know the bikes history. My dad stopped riding the bike for a few years and I've decided to start riding it. It wasn't running right so I started tracking problems down. The problem started as not sparking the rear...

Hello I'm having problem's with my clutch leaking from where the handle bar lever were it pushes the piston in on the master cylinder . I've rebuilt the master cylinder, slave cylinder and bleed all the air out and the clutch works fine untill I go out for a ride and the motor warms up . Than...

So I junked the stock blinkers in favor of some small drag specialties LED ones. I put the front on first. Worked fine. I install the back ones, now either direction I blink - all 4 blinkers blink. Not right or left, but all 4 at the same time. Any ideas?

I just recently bought a 1990 V-Max and when i turn the bike off, gas just keeps filling up the front left side. i took the carbs off and sprayed them out with some cleaner. this is also the side that my canaster runs to. Could i just rip that off and plug the carb? Thanks

I cannot get the swingarm mounting bolts (pins?) out. They have only been in 1 year and I installed them with hand tools. Give me some hints on how to remove them. :bang head:

Hi! Mike here from Oklahoma. Recently purchased a 85 Vmax ..wonderful machine in excellent shape. Only problem ( just came up) is the seat release assembly to get to the gas tank is broke. The pull rings have both come off and at this stage I can not get the seat off, add gas, or charge the...

is there anyone here that has not had carb problems with pluging up....seems like to many carb problems...is there a reason like aftermarket air filter kits or not knowing when to leave well enough alone

Well I had the carbs apart again, cleaned them all out, not that they were dirty, everyting went back where it should, all screws tight etc. still cant get over 3000-4000rpm. I dont know what the freaking problem is, I got good spark on all plugs, compression is good, carbs synced, it just...

At my wits end with my carb problems. I had them off the bike 4 times now. I went back to stock everything except the slip-ons. Idle is poor, seems like I have to have the screws out +3 for any decent idle or power, even that is a joke, cant get over 4-5000rpm, hesitation, backfire from the...

Hi guys, Been gone for awhile, wife is nine months pregnant and had me working like a dog on the house before the baby comes. Here what's up, rebuilt my carbs end of June, ran good. Let the bike sit for 2-3 weeks, took it for a little ride and it wouldn't run right unless the choke was on...
