Thanks Jim, that is a good idea. I'll try it tomorrow. I haven't look at the stator but I read 0.7 ohms all the way around. Maybe a good cleaning will help lower the resistance. I'll post the results. Rich.

One quick way to tell with your stator is to look for discolored varnish on the coils. If you see a coil that is much darker than the others you probably have one leg of the stator that is bad so it needs replaced. With the resistance being a bit high you will lose voltage as well.

I traded my '05 VMX12 for a new '11 VMX17. I find the engine of my VMX17 doesn't run as smoothly as my VMX12. The vibration isn't huge. If I had my VMX12 I would say the carburetors needed to be synchronized. That's the feeling and type of vibration. Has any one else noticed the same? Or should I have my dealer check it out?

$ 300 plus actual shipping . If your still interested email me at vmaxparts@yahoo.com Thanks,Kyle

Did you sell your kerker? If not name your lowest price shipped to 49120.
Thanks

I read about 12.5 volts at 2200 rpms at my battery. According to the manual; over 15.0 volts means a new R/R and under 13 Volts means new stator. Stator coil resistance is 0.7 ohns. The manuals says a max of 0.48. I cleaned the connections to the stator. The connector was hot when I disconnected it. I don't want to drop a lot of $$$ for a stator if I don't have to. (Battery is healthy and holds a charge) Advice please

Fixed it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi just ran a compression check suspect cyl. 170 psi un oiled cold...other cyls. 170-173- 165 sounds normal does any body know what they should be? thanks Rich

I'm looking for *NEW* CKX Demon helmet size Large. Please if you can help me, I'd be very great full. Paint design is not an issue as it will be getting custom paint from Elwin Penner

I have them on my 1994 Vmax & they work well with a Stage 1 jet kit.
You will have to select the correct jet sizes in the kit for your riding location & exhaust setup.
Also, the pilot air/fuel mixture screws should be re-adjusted.

I recently had both knees replaced and I am looking at back surgery in the near future so both of my bikes are up for sale. 85 v-max is an un-molested original, completely stock in very good condition. 78 sr500 is also stock but was recently disassembled and restored with rebuilt engine. The trailer is a 5X8, 5000lb, with ramp, 2X8 treated floor & 15 inch wheels. $3000 for the V-Max, $1000 for the SR500 and $1100 for the trailer or lets make a deal ?

How much for the gaurds and one set of ostock scoop inserts??

I discovered today that the coolant hose that runs from the right side of the drain cock tee up to the conduit housing, (the one labeled as the conduit breather hose in the manual) has elongated itself over time and started rubbing on the back side of the radiator. The metal coil designed to protect the hose wore a hole in the radiator and now I have to have the radiator repaired or replaced.
So I thought I'd send out an advisory for everyone to check their radiator hoses so this doesn't happen to any one else. I also noticed a couple of the other hoses look to be almost double the size they are at the clamp, so I have decided I'm going to replace all my hoses.

I have a set of the radiator gaurds one of them has a very small cract on the fron towards the bottom & I have plenty of scoop inserts
