start

Okay, I have recently replaced the throttle tube on the handlebar and the gauge pod on top of the fake tank.....and now the bike won't start! It cranks...but just won't start. And it started and ran fine before I switched the parts. Any ideas????

Hey everyone... I've actually been a member here since 2006 but haven't been around cause soon after i joined i got deep into sport bikes. Well after 5 years i have finally purchased a Vmax. I found a 1998 Black Vmax for $1700 on craigslist. The guy has swapped at 1985 motor into it but it...

No Start Greetings fella's (and the one or two ladies)! Finally got around to moving Maxine from storage (1985). Started fine in the fall now nada. Turn the ignition on - lights up as normal, fuel pump pressurizes Neutal, clutch engaged, side stand up, on center stand Hit the Starter...

My max wont start when its hot. I already had a new battery , my starter had a new carbon brush but everytime i stop the engine and tried to start it again the starter had a hard time rotating.During the first start when is cold the starter had a good rotation but when the engine is hot it...

hope this is nothing major! today riding on the highway 100km/h (60miles/hour) it seemed to be missing (like if it was running out of gas, not the case had a nearly full tank), so I twisted the throtle WOT, nothing happend it was steady at 100km. I then pulled in the clutch to rev it, the...

I have an 85 max that starts great in nuetral but wont at all in gear with clutch lever pulled in (doesnt even try) im thinking clutch isnt disengaging all the way so its not hitting whatever senses it being pulled in. I did have to blead the clutch when i got it or i couldnt even put it in gear...

I went out and tried to start my bike today. I turned the key, lights turned on nice and bright, but it didn't make the usual initializing start up noises. When I turn the key to crank it up, nothing happens. I am guessing that a wire isn't making good contact anymore or some other electrical...

So the inspiration behind this write-up comes from an incident in which I found myself pushing my bike a half-mile to the gas station because my Reserve Switch could not make the necessary connection that re-energizes the fuel pump relay, essentially disconnecting the fuel pump from the battery...

Just bought 85max from buddy he thought battery was shot he would push start it then ran fine I changed battery same thing it turns over very very slow (as if dead battery) is there a way I can bypass some wiring straight to starter or something to diagnos or what u think thanks for any...

First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope Santa left you more than the bill! Now, my problem. I know it is just about impossible to diagnose an engine problem over the internet, but I am just hoping you guys can at least give me a place to start trying to figure out my problem. Bottom...

Not Max related as in bike, but a Vmax vendor, That and its freakin awesome:punk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BT2JjzHa-c

In the case of a dead battery situation away from home what is the best item to have with you for a fast safe jump start. Since some bikes like mine has a tickle charge pigtail quick connect feature, is there another charging cable available that can also provide a jump start as well without...

I had my bike sitting while I fixed my MadMax issue and it wouldn't start. I thought I wasn't getting spark, but I let it charge awhile and just kept cranking the engine until it sputtered so I figured I had spark after all. Then it started and was running rough for a minute then it started...

I was wondering if you guys changed the gap on your spark plugs when installing COP's? Reason I ask is cause I am having a really hard time getting my bike to start when it's cold. Went out this morning (low 40's) and went to start it and it really tried to start but just wouldn't catch. I...

is it anyway to fix this known problem. when the engine is hot sometimes when i try to restart my engine is like my battery does have the power to start the engine. i know is a common problem to V-max. is there a fix for this..?? :ummm::ummm::ummm::ummm::ummm::bang head::bang head::bang...

Hi all, When I attempt to start my vmax, it makes a buzzing sound around the area above the battery and will not start. The battery is fully charged. When turning the lights on and attempting to crank the bike, the voltage drops to 8v to 11v. With no load, it goes back to 13v. I've charged...

I have checked and the swith in cllutch master cylinder and the switch in the stand. I have even joined together the two cables that goes to the clutch master cylinder switch. It starts only with neatural. Any idea??

Have a decent battery now but just wondering if it died could I hook up to a car battery and jump start it or would it cause problems. I have an 2006 V Max.
