Glad to see the VMOA still alive. I'm seriously considering the idea of purchasing another V-Max, for another hotrod project.
Any VMOA members here in the Central Texas area? We moved to Sun City, two years ago, after forty+ years in Wichita Falls. Clint Hooper VMOA #001

On my 95 VMAX there is a coolant valve on the front of the engine above the oil filter. I pulled it out because the o-ring was leaking, but I don't understand it's function or the position it should be in under operation. The valve allows coolant to flow thru it in one position, and blocks coolant flow in those small hoses in the other position. The open and closed text on the valve have no reference to me.

HI I have a 1998 vmx1200 vmax that I have been having electrical problems with . I have had someone looking at it but it was taking him so long that I took my bike back in bits ! with the idea of finishing it myself. Unfortunately I am not to good with electrics and have the turn siginal handlebar switch box returnd in pieces. As the workshop manual does not cover striping or reassembling this part and I can not find anything on linr or on youtube to help me reassemble this switch I would be greatful for some advice........

I had them done at 40,000 and all but 2 were out of adjustment. Didn't notice any difference in how it runs but they get tighter over time so if not adjusted they may end up burning a valve.

Hi Roy,
Hope all is well....There will not be a posting this year but many are meeting up as usual in Somerset, PA this week. Riders are staying at Red Roof Inn (former Days Inn) and the new Days Inn down the road.
