    2 things here sticky brake lever and i got brake fluid all over!!!

    Gonna explain this best i can, the brake lever when you pull it slow it is sticky and sqeaky but if you pull it hard like for a hard stop its fine, the slower you pull the worse it is, and the noise seems to come from under the resivior where the plunger is, also when i open the cover brake...

    This and That. Few things and my 89

    The boards pretty slow atleast while I'm posting this. I ordered another handlebar mount oil pressure gauge from COO, same one I ordered for the 94 last year. I didn't expect it would get shipped real fast but I see it went out today. Took about a week. No Biggy.. It's hard for Tom being a...

    I hate trying to tune these damn things!

    UGH! So....been in Arizona for a little over a year now. Still haven't tuned my bike properly for being out here. I spent most of the Fall/Winter working on projects in our new home, and the bike went by the wayside. I tore into the carbs today and realized how much I have NO clue what I'm...

    Stinkin' horn button - of all things

    Sometimes, it's the seemingly simple stuff that drives one insane. OK. I took one of these puppies apart for "repair" years ago and remember a nightmare getting it back together. (I forget which bike... GS1000 maybe). But, they're pretty much all the same, right? In fact, as I recall - that...

    Things I have learnt

    OK I had a idea last night that it would be cool to have a thread with little tid bits of things that we've learnt about working on our VMAX'S, they can be a simple as the first one I will post or as complicated as one wants. I just hope this thread doesn't get turned into a debate thread and...

    Sometimes the simple things are overlooked

    Having got my 88 project on the road I had noticed that it wasn't really cranking fast at all. It had been off the road all the time I was building it and assumed that the battery might be on the way out. I had another one from an xv750 which is the same battery and the result was just the same...

    Keeping things in perspective

    Dumb &^*^(^& things you've done

    Add this to my list. Got the bike all cleaned up, waxed, checked over and ready to go after the weekend's riding. I changed the oil a couple of weeks ago, and filled her up with fresh Mobil 1. I don't like to overfill, so when I was done it was just barely over the 'add' mark, and I...

    One of those things....

    I live in Canada. In our biggest city. "Duplicolor Hot Tires White paint" - estimated cost of 6 or 7 dollars. The Duplicolor website says.... Canadian Tire sells it. They do not! They had a bunch of duplicolor products, but no hot tires paint. Nor were the competent enough to order it...

    Top 5 things you never hear a Vmax rider say..

    1) I usually just glide up to the traffic and flick it into neutral whilst coasting. 2) When riding with the group of latest sportsbikes, I leave' em for dead because they can't keep up through the turns. 3) The stock brakes are incredible! 4) I wish it had a smaller fuel tank. 5) It is...

    Things I've discovered about the swingarm/driveshaft

    In a recent post it was discussed about the rear spline joint being able to handle a little offset due to the way it was manufactured (it's kind of a wobble joint; hard to describe but if you looked at it closely it's real obvious) And how this would lend itself to being able to use the...
