replace

Hello Guys I am looking for a replacement. I would love it if I lived at the track. I am just worried about bothering my neighbors and being pulled over by the cops while trying to have fun. Dont get me wrong it sounds good, but I dont want to push my will on others.

Hey again, sorry if it seems like I'm hogging the forum. I'll try not to have any further concerns with my max, lol. So low and behold I spotted this on my rear tire. New tire? Or a plug will work ok? I'm kind of paranoid about the idea of a rear tire disintegrating from under me...

As the title states I ordered 4 rebuild kits which consisted of O-rings and fuel inlet bodies/valves. I noticed the new inlet valves are stiffer then the original ones (figured the originals were worn) and they hold the floats in the low position when turned upside down. This is uncharted...

Anyone know of a great mechanic in the Atlanta area that would replace my clutch? I have less than an inch of 'pull in' on my lever. Basically it engages as soon as I pull the lever in. I didn't realize how far out the clutch was until I purchased a new street glide a few months ago...

I would assume by the pictures I saw in the beginning of my other thread in the Starvmaxforum http://www.starvmax.com/kunena/12-general-vmax-discussion/188045-not-having-a-good-day-bike-tipped-over-on-me the spring is put on while the kickstand is in the up position and a new spring that...

I dropped my bike today :sad2:, but it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. But I do have one issue: the mirror threads on the right break reservoir broke off with the mirror (I guess it was tougher than I thought). Any idea on how to secure the mirror back on? the threads left on the...

I bought the Delkevik OEM front pipes to replace the old ones on my 2000... I've never done this before...but going to do this myself because I want to learn... The old ones came off easy with the mufflers still in place...and cleaned out the old gaskets... My questions... The Delkevic...

I have the replacement shock bushings from Progressive. I have tried to press them into the shocks to no avail. What is the trick that I am missing? I am using a socket as a bushing driver, but as I press the bushing it expands rather than sliding into the shock mount. Do I have to shave...

I'm replacing the stator on my 85' and had a question and thought I would also share the pictures to add to all the awesome reference already on this site. Is this normal? Seems like some sort of coating. Original stator. Gasket hadn't been cleaned off the case yet. Close-up of...

Hi, I'm in the process of lowering my bike, so i bought some steering head bearings to. But is there any actual benefit of replacing the steering head bearings when the one currently in are fine? Thanks!

I've seen all these threads on replacing the starter clutch, but when it comes to replacing the starter gear there isn't much information. Even the service manual just says to check for wear, but there are no specs on the amount of wear of the boss or the inside bushing. Does the damage have...

Yesterday I started to replace the old cracked plug wires in hopes of resolving a mid-range roughness. I got the back two easily (and they were bad!), but after pulling the right scoop I decided to come ask for help. What do I need to pull in order to access the front of the coils so I can...

My clutch is starting is slip and I want to replace the disks. While I'm in there I might as well fix that shifting issue earlier Vmaxs have. My questions is exactly what parts do I need? Here is the list I have so far. (8) Plate, Friction 3 item: 26H-16307-01-00 (7) Plate, Clutch 1 item...

When I bought Karma last year she didn't come with the kit under the seat. What is the best and easiest way to remove my plugs? I've heard OEM Plugs are the way to go. I can't use the Search engine on the VMF with this so called top of the line cell phone.:bang head: KarmaKatt

Hi, If only one of the coil is bad, can we just replace that one (or two) coil with COP or do we have to replace all four of them at once? Thanks, Regards,

Hi, When removing and replacing exhaust pipes is it necessary to torque it to the correct specs or is it ok to just tighten it as hard as possible? Thanks :)

I can never search-on-demand and find what i'm looking for.... Would some kind forum-er please post a link here for the how-to on this procedure...I didn't find squat.............

Wotcher, The fuel reserve switch on my Vmax has broke and I need to get a replacement quick! It's not the normal Vmax switchgear (think its an early FJ1200 or Virago 1100 on) with the fuel reserve box bolted on the bottom. The wires have broken off from inside the box and I cant open it to...

I tried to re-use my copper hydraulic fitting washers when I recently replaced a o.e.m. rubber hydraulic clutch hose on my 1987 FZR1000 (the system is essentially the same as a VMax's) with a custom-made stainless steel/teflon hose. I bled it using the oft-mentioned method of reverse-feed...

Theoretical situation: 1987 Vmax slips out of first gear, but starts fine in second gear. What is broken? How much money to fix? How difficult is procedure to fix it? This is theoretical, just want a quick estimation from you pros! Thanks! -Froggy
