question

Deer Hunting Question Looking forward to hunting season, but I do have a question. If I shoot a buck, but I only have a doe-tag, can I claim that the buck wasn’t really a buck? I mean ... maybe he’d always wanted to be a doe, but with no choice of his own, he was born with the...

Hey all, first post here, be gentle :biglaugh: Great place you got, been finding lots of usefull info. Got me a 1988 max to restore - while buying it noticed right exhaust way too colder than the left, and the v4 was working quite irregularly. Right exhaust seemed to spew petrol and you could...

I have been looking at 2nd. gen. Vmax for some time now. I have come across a great deal on a 2014 Vmax with less than 4k miles and about 10 months left on the warranty. But the bike is maroon in color. As I understand it, the maroon color was for 2015, and 2014 was a matte grey finish. Is...

In the front bottom of airbox is a hole thats leads up to front center of air filter whats supposed to go there a slober tube aka drain. I have crankcase hooked to the back

So I have this thing on max near battery. I just have no idea what goes where. Apparently other end goes to battery? other goes somewhere?

Hi guys Ive just bought my first Vmax. It has a dead Regulator that I replaced with a Ricks one that has a different plug to the dead one. It looks as though a previous owner changed the plug to fit an after market stator, and did a poor job at it. The 3 white wires plug is different on...

so if am in the middle of back and beyond and my headlight fails,will my vmax not start.

After cleaning my carbs I noticed that one of the pilot screw is missing the Oring and washer. Made sure it is not in carb. It's most likely that this occurred when I cleaned the carbs last year. With the oring and washer missing, would that show a slight leaner plug reading? I have the...

Hey y'all. I've been gone a while travelling from my residence in Hungary to Mississippi, Athens, Greece, now back in Hungary. I'm scheduled to return to Mississippi soon again. I received (but not installed yet) a new air filter. I took the advice to not get a jet kit. I'll just leave my...

Well, I ended up buying a pair of Ohlins shocks for my vmax... They are damn expensive (and yellow...), but since I've had my bike for almost 19 years now and that it looks like I will be buried with her... :big laugh: , I told myself that it's just something that I won't have to buy again...

How would a too-open exhaust burn a valve? If a 4-1 pipe went from 2-> 2.25 inches to a huge, open chamber, would that cause any weird problems? Any thoughts on whether it could cause a dip in power when the vboost comes in? Just thinking about things and my frankenpipe.

Was mucking around in the garage yesterday and I was polishing the scoops (as ya do ) and on putting on of them on I noticed the bottom screw was screwing into nothing , I managed to give it a quick fix tho . I take it there is a nut welded to the frame on the inside there but it must be...

I saw a video today of a 2016 Camaro that cranked out a 10.6 in the 1/4 mile. That's pretty good, but it appeared to me that the driver was sleeping at the light with .912 reaction time. I made a comment about that on another forum, and someone replied that the reaction time has no effect on ET...

I need to know if the cooling system "joint" pictured below is threaded into the other parts. Mine is leaking (but bandaged) and I will be ordering the joint and the o-rings. When I pull it apart, I need to know if there are any other gaskets I need to worry about, or can I just simply replace...

My wife and I have lived in Hungary for 6 years now. I have owned 3 phones and had no big reception problems. My wife has owned a Nokia, Samsung, and now a Samsung Galaxy S4. No reception in our house with any of these phones. She can stand next to me without reception, yet mine has some. We...

I just swapped out the clutch disks and steels and I have clutch engagement from 3/4 release to full release. Is this normal? My history with the bike is that it has been like this since I bought it in August. Since then, I changed the fluid and bled it with a Mity-vac, changed out the clutch...

Wasn't quite sure where the topic fit, so here will have to do. For those with an Ignitech hooked up and running their V-Boost, Does the ignitech unit run the same servo test at start up as the stock unit? I'll be putting my ignitech on this winter and was just wondering if I should (or should...

Recently, I've had this problem where sometimes after I have a ride and stop the bike then try to restart, it wont turn over. All lights and stuff are on. Now, if I put the kickstand down, sometimes it will start so this make me think its a faulty kickstand kill switch relay. Do these relays...

I bought a 2000 VMAX and the carbs are all messed up. Some of the idle jets are missing and/or damaged, etc. so I have an opportunity to purchase an entire carburetor shelf assembly (all 4 carbs) off from a crashed 1992 VMAX. Will the carbs from 1992 fit my 2000? Is there anything different?

Ok...I'm a bit short on space so the battery fitment will be interesting. Could someone tell the smallest battery that will power the max ? Or is it possible to hook up 2 seperate smaller ones ? Cheers
