rebuild

So...anyway...I'm CERTAIN everyone on the forums is vitally interested in progress on my 1986, Which I received from my boss as a gift. His purpose in giving the gift was so I could, in his words, "get this VMax crap out of your system so we can get on with getting you a nice Honda GoldWing."...

Dennis took the time to convert my carb rebuild thread into PDF format, so so much easier for everyone to download / print / use. That's worth a proper nice guy award in my book! :clapping::clapping::clapping:

Hoping someone has a good "how to" article or even better a video on rebuilding the clutch slave. Bike is an 85. Ordered the rebuild kit today so it will be a week or better before I attempt this.. I've never done this before so the more simple instructions the better.

I have a new battery in the bike (Panasonic LCX1220P) but it still cranks slow. I attributing this to the guy jump starting the bike with his truck before I got there when I bought it. New brushes fix this? If so who makes a quality kit for the parts. I really thank you guys for the help and...

Hi guys. I just acquired a 2001 V-Max that has been sitting garaged for 4 years now. It only has 9700 miles and looks perfect. The carbs were NASTY. Everything inside was gunned up and nothing would move. I took the entire thing apart and cleaned in Chem-Dip. All the parts look new and...

Has anybody done a slave cylinder rebuild? I just finished replacing my clutch plates as my clutch has been slipping, now I need to address the slave cylinder (its been leaking and I have no clutch) Any advice on how to do it or a helpful website would be much appreciated! Thanks

I have a set of Stage 7 carbs here. I would like to rebuild them for racing purposes. Which typical rebuild parts will I need, and what will I need for a proper selection of jets? Thanks in advance!!

Think I got ripped of from my local MC shop ( Del Amo Motorsports} Got the bike back from a supposed total carb rebuild. Bike still backfiring through the right muffler so I'm taking it back Tuesday. They saved the parts but I do not have them in hand yet. Looking over the invoice I see...

Took my 2005 max to the dealer finally. Could not get it to run right since I bought it. Anyway, to make a long story short--- dealer says I need a carb rebuild. They want $800. Does that sound right ? Seem way high to me but I want to be done with this so I said go ahead. Did I get screwed ?

I'm just going to ask a very general question about mods, I recently purchased an 01 vmax with 9,000 miles on it. The owner said it ran like crap and he didn't have the money to fix it so I got it for $500. After getting it home, it was just a dirty carb problem and some serious lack of TLC. I'm...

Where is the best place to pick up some quality caliper rebuild kits? I've looked at a couple of websites but wanted to see what everyone else is using.

Hey all! So. I have inherited my grandfather's 94 Vmax a couple years ago. I've been riding it since I was 18 so about 6 years, so I'm fairly well acquainted with the max. But the has 127,xxx miles on it all original and all stock. The only work done was some carb work at the dealership. Now...

I had heard about Damon's videos on the forum, and they are supposed to be VERY good. I ordered the engine video, and the carb video. He gave me a bit of a break for ordering both of them. Here is his email in case anyone else is interested. [email protected] There is an underscore...

I took this pic today, my favorite background. The shop it's on closed, bet the new tenant paints it over, a shame. I finally have my bike where it seems to be running well. Now I can justify tearing it down & doing the cosmetics-the frame & brackets, and doing something w/the wheels. I have...

Hey everybody, I usually just float around the site and gather info to help with my bike repairs. This site has been a life saver to say the least. Anyway here is what I have done to my bike since I bought her in the fall of 2012. I was told 2nd gear was gone and that the forks leaked. Since...

I have just thoroughly cleaned the carbs adjusted floats, replaced the A/F screws, all the rubber jet plate plugs and intake boots. The bike runs like it never has before at WOT. However I cannot get the sync correct, I can sync the right side and the left side but not get them to sync together...

My clutch lever started going soft on the ride yesterday, and just now when I went to put the bike in the garage, had very little clutch at all-wasnt releasing all the way, and very little resistance at the lever. Im assuming its time for some rebuild kits, slave and master( might as well do em...
