Hello, I have a 95 Vmax , And when you put it in gear you can feel it trying to engage the bike forward.
Have bleed 3x’s but to no avail.
And because of this I’m thinking that’s the cause for when I down shift , it’s hard to .
Only when in lower RPM and at a crawl you can go back to first.
That can also be a symptom of the oil that your using. The oil that is REALLY recommended is Rotella t4 15-40. Yes....it's a diesel oil, but if you remember the vmax was designed is the early 80s....and really didn't change significantly all the way thru 07. The gen 1s really don't seem to like synthetic oil, and seem to shift better with Rotella. Some people on this forum, say that they can tell when it's time for an oil change, because the bike is harder to go into gear.
