I stripped one of my sync screws out! Pulled out my spare parts carbs and they have been modified due to the same problem. The 1st pic is my stripped screw hole the 2nd is my parts carbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this? I have some ideas but I'm looking for some more...

New sound on the bike that sounds like a valve issue. Does anyone have an independent or dealer that they have been happy with in Houston? Thanks.

I broke off 1 of the carbs drain spout, To fix it - I drill out the back off the drain with a small drill bit. I install a silicone hose size 5/32" and wire tied so I don't pull through the drain plate holder. And extended all drain hoses about 5.5" to hang out so don't spill any gas on the...

Does anyone know how to re-cap and work on radios? I have a 1951 Admiral am/record player that needs to be recapped and have a filter capacitor replaced in the power supply (hums when turned on) Closer to NY state the better.

OK, I dumped the bike. Damage was pretty minor overall, but I've got some questions in regards to repair of the motorcycle parts that were damaged. I scraped up the faust scoop a little bit and need some recommendations. is it better to repair (sand and polish out the scrapes) or to replace...

Hi all, Once again I'am having trouble with my clutch (1998). The last time I drove it, it started creeping foreward before I let the clutch out. I fixed the problem last time by changing the fluid and bleeding. That lasted about six weeks. I have no leaks, so I guess its the master cylinder. Do...

Well, Pulled the motor out today, took me about 8 hours from start to splitting the cases, including numerous beer breaks, and a spin on the 'Busa 9not in that order) :biglaugh: 2nd gear is totally destroyed. I'm including pictures of the main bearings and journals in case Sean see's...

Hey guys, I need a front brake master cylinder repair kit for my 98 Max. I have tried everywhere and cannot source one for front brake. There are plenty available for the rear cylinder. If it isn't possible to get one what is my cheapest option for replacement or possible upgrade! Michael

I am new to the forum, I recentley traded my 03 SV1000S for an 01 Vmax. Now I am trying to convince myself that I made theright choice. My SV was far from stock, I think I will be a little happier once I get the exhaust note closer to what I am looking for. I have a new OEM set of pipes and a...

I just put my 18" rear wheel on my vmax with a metzler 180/55-18 marathon radial tire. With only 100 miles on the tire i picked up what looks like a staple. I pierced the tire and leaks. My local dealer told me they won't repair tires and all the manufacturers say never to repair a tire for...

:ummm: I'm trying to fix a 3rd gear problem.I've got the engine out and upside down.I took all the covers off and removed all the bolts,but there still seems to be some holding the case together in the area of the clutch.This is the first time I've done this so I don't want to pry on it and...

I am usually a fan of the OEM manuals but I am now able to sell the clymer manuals. Many are $30 plus shipping (retail is $35). I'll try to stock the Vmax manuals anyway so it could be shipped with other parts purchased from me to cut costs down to add the manual. Sean

Sorry, this is non Vmax related and not really a project either. I'd say more of a hack job, LOL. Anyways was curious if anyone out there has had any experience with those aluminum rods used for home repair. Something like this or similar http://www.alumiweld.com/ I have a hairline crack...

Anybody know what the fenders are made out of??? Does Bondo work on the fenders??? What do you use to fix a crack in a fender?? The faux tank is metal.....standard bodywork practices apply...... The fenders......I have no clue..... Anybody know???:confused2:

Just picked up a screw on a brand new (about 200 miles) rear tire. It's was dead center in the tread groove. Has anyone had any luck with some of the patch kits? Do they hold up or should I get a new tire? (Perfect timing as well...supposed to be about 80 and sunny next few days)

So my craftsman mower won't start. It has a B&S 16hp engine. So far I have replaced the battery, starter, solenoid. The same issue remains. When trying to start , the starter engages but the engine only does a partial turn then stops, it is still trying to turn over but won't . I have...
