radiator

Hi all I have mentioned this previously. I have a 1986 model Vmax US market which was imported into the UK in 2013. I am trying to get it 'stock' as possible. It is a pretty original survivor bike. It has red reflectors on the radiator cowlings. One is a proper Stanley one part no RR0502 the...

Early this summer I was well on my way to working lots of bugs out of my 86 v max. Carbs rebuilt. Exhaust change. Plug wires. Etc.. Had it running wonderfull. Was on my way to tackle the 'Hot Start" Problem. Then the voltage regulator fried. No big deal but got busy with other things an put the...

hello fellow vmaxers. I have an issue with my 89 vmax (previously shown as the *************). I opened the radiator cap to see a filthy mess, looks like someone wacked off into it. :punk: but seriously it looks like a teaspoon of mayo with oil in it. i cleaned it out, and rode around the...

Has anybody tried the GPI aluminum radiator for the Vmax that's on ebay. Looks good but for $125 I wonder? I've bought Warp9 aluminum radiators for my CR500 and the fit and finish sucked.:confused2:

Hi all Hope I put this in the right section... I've just been attempting to sort a very leaky coolant hose going to the front cylinder head on my Vmax. The end of the hose where it touches the engine block was the problem, I think from when oil was coming out from the rocker gaskets before I...

Ok so I pulled mine off and powdercoated them black, then rode for 20 minutes and they flew off..... lol:bang head: So I am going to machine up some new inserts and since I know no one has anything out there for these, I ll do a "group buy" on them if your interested. These will be stock...

Just curious if any one has used one of these radiators. They claim 30 % more flow. I was thinking about being a Guniea Pig if no one else has tried one...

Since it was in the 50's here today I uncover Max and checked underneath for any leakage, found a wet spot underneath, looked like oil. The bike has been sitting since early October. I grabbed my new 130 lumen led flashlight and searched for the source of the fluid, and found a hose leaking...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you know a source for the chrome radiator shrouds on the sides. I hate the way the plastic ones look and would like to get rid of them.

Anyone got one of these they could part with? I guess it fell off somewhere down the road.

OK. Bike starts with no issues. I wanted to test the radiator fan, though, so I let it idle in the garage (no rear wheel on yet) to see when the fan was going to come on... well. It DIDN'T... EVER. I had to go grab a box fan and aim it at the radiator to keep it from going past the first red...

As a former Vmax owner and member of club, in the past I see posts on how to convert rear seat reflector and also radiator side reflectors to lights. Can anyone point me to where these links would be? Thanks for any help and I am glad to be back here again.

So as I plod along with the RattleCan Special, I've been diving into my parts pile. Grabbed a nice radiator fan and restore it only to find it does not fit a Vmax radiator. Uhhh? I only dabble with Vmaxes so I am at a loss as to what this fits. The three mounting arms are all wrong. There is no...

The fan has quit working. I will troubleshoot using skills honed on cars. Can anyone tell me where the temperature switch/sensor is located? Also is the fan easily removed (if necessary)? Any input is welcomed. Thanks Warren

I bought a radiator fan over ride switch last winter on Ebay, have the switch but can't find the insulation instructions. Nor can I find the vendor or anyone selling them on Ebay. Any help? Thanks.

Anyone used JB Weld to repair a radiator? Tire kicked up a rock and hit the core damaged one of the tubes.

Saw some very nice radiator made for Vmax from China. Anyone had it install? http://www.ebay.com/itm/110869720397

Been trying to get my 06 running after a year of storage due to deployment. Only had the bike for a couple weeks before i left and it ran fine. Here's a couple of problems I'm having. 1. Bike overheated after I got it cranked to burn off some of the old fuel, didn't think to see if fan was...

I just wanted to mention that there are threads on here about the replacement of your radiator cap w/an easier to get domestic part. I got mine at NAPA. I replaced the radiator cap on both my V!Max and my FZR1000 which were o.e.m. parts original to the bikes. One was 19 yrs. old and the...

got it pulled off for flushing, cleaning and touch up paint. Anything else i should know/do to it???:ummm:
