Glad I could help

Sorry you are wrong in this case. The paints you are talking about require baking for the hardener to react properly but on can spraying the paint doesn’t need baking. The chemical reaction enough is adequate. I am a panel beater/ spray painter by trade. I have never had problems with my painting and had the bikes for 10 years without any problems to the paint. KR

Thanks. KR

Glad they helped you KR

Glad I could help . kR

Hi, Sorry you are having trouble. Was it raving past 4,000rpm before cleaning or just after? My ideas. You haven’t adjusted the cables correctly allowing them to open completely. The fuel filter is dirty. The Vboost is not working correctly Let me know if any of these suggestions help. KR

No, it would only run on choke before I stripped the carbs and cleaned them. I found the problem, it seems the airbox has to be fitted so that it runs properly, so all sorted now thanks and runs like a dream, only done 4k miles, it will be a gem when finished.

Thanks for watching and writing. Glad my videos help.KR

Thanks . It turned out beautiful. KR

Wow great news! Thanks for letting me know. I hope my video helped and it was a great success. KR

Hi, a lot of Gen 1 has a charging and starter problem. A lot of the time to problem can result from bad earths and bad converse to corrosion in the plugs that just need cleaning. I buy a lot of broken Vmax’s with problems so I usually just fit a new stator. Regulator and starter and then the new owners will never have a problem again. KR

@kodokunaraida1044 Thank You for the info. I'm learning more every day. In the least I seem to have one with a good cooling system- it stays right around the middle of the gauge.

Hello Thank you very much for subscribing and supporting my channel. Getting close to 1,000 subscribers. I know it’s a small channel but I’m so excited to reach that. There have been people fit fuel gauges but I’m not sure of their success. I will look into it and see what I can find out or fit to a build. I’ve just sold both the bikes. The all black 1985 is going to Tokyo and the 1997 is going to Israel . I’m looking for a new rebuild or two! KR

This is a common fault The problem is the lock barrel inside your steering is becoming worn and dry Because it’s a little worn it needs some lubrication to make it slide better You can get a spray like WD40 or silicon spray and spray it into your lock where you put your key If the spray bottle has a long tiny tube to spray. Put it into the key hole and spray it around They push your key in and out a few times and you should be okay again KR

The 1985 Vmax has been sold. The 1997 Vmax has not been sold as yet. If you are interested in the 1997 Vmax you can send me an email on kodokunaraida@gmail.com

Yes that’s the all black 1985 Vmax That has sold The 1997 is ‘the worse Vmax ever ‘ rebuild

Hi Barry. Good luck with finding and riding these beautiful bikes but please stay safe and ride carefully I have had too many friends killed on Vmax’s. But once you get use to them they are the most exciting bike I’ve ever ridden. I get many emails angry about my negative feelings on the Vmax but I want people to understand that Gen1 Vmax’s are getting old and things like brakes and suspension were not as good as bikes of today On the Gen 1 there were minor differences cosmetically but big changes in brakes and suspension Apart from a minor freshening to the bike's specifications in 1993, the bike gained a larger-diameter fork to minimize high-speed wobbling and drift, four-piston brake calipers, and other handling and safety related upgrades. If I had a choice because of the upgraded brakes and suspension, I would always chose from a 1993 up. They are just a better and safer bike Saying that. I have a 1985 and 1997 Vmax and love the rawness of the 1985 but the 1997 is definitely safer and smoother I hope this helps Stay safe KR

@@kodokunaraida1044 Hello again, and Thank you very much for your reply, I do not want one to do high speeds just a ride out on a Sunday, the one I have seen has 61000 Kms showing on the speedo and looks in very good condition, now wondering whether to go ahead with it or not, obviously do not want to die just yet although I am old, will keep watching your videos you make what ever maintenance you do look easy and you enjoy doing it. All for now Barry in Spain

Good luck Barry. I hope I can help if you need any more information. kR

@@kodokunaraida1044 Ok,Thank you, Will keep you updated

I’m very happy my video helped! KR

Здорово!) 👌🍺

@@TheSnup23 Thank you my Friend. I hope you and your family are safe and well. KR

So the general consensus is 2-5 psi @ hot idle is common . KR

Your comment made me laugh. Thank you. Don't let anything scare you on your bike. Just get in and have a go. But I'm glad you wrote and my videos help others. KR

Thank you. I bought them on line. The seller stated that they were stock but when they arrived it was obvious they weren't. but the sound is great and I really like them. I am not sure what brand they are but except for the bigger exhaust bells they look stock. KR

Hahaha when I was ridding it I wasn’t paying attention to the sound but when I played the recording back I was also surprised at how good it sounded. KR

Hello. I was so happy to read your mail and know that my video has helped. In another video I show you how to repair a broken module or at least a hack to get them to work. But I am so happy you can now ride your bike and fully experience the power of these wonderful machines. Don't feel bad that it's taken a long time to realise. Many clients bring me their Vmax's and want a tune up when it's been the module all along. Great to hear you are coming to Japan. what will you be doing or where will you be? KR

Thank you for your kind gentle words. It's a wonderful time of the year. I never use to understand why people were so excited to see the sakura. Now after living in 20 for many years I look forward to the new life and start of another wonderful year with my family and Vmaxs!! KR 優しいお言葉をありがとうございます。一年の中でも素晴らしい時期です。なぜ人々が桜を見てあんなに興奮するのか、私には全く理解できませんでした。 20年に何年も住んでいた今、新しい生活と家族とVmaxsと一緒に素晴らしい一年が始まることを楽しみにしています!! KR

Hello. I sad to read you are having trouble but it’s not uncommon. But dont be too worried as it’s an easy and cheap repair. You only need to remove your two left side covers and the stator is right there .. while you are buying the stator I also recommend you fitting a new regulator. You should be able to do the whole thing for under $100 . I have a video about fitting the new stator so I hope you can find it. If not send me an email and I’ll attach a link. KR

merci beaucoup pour votre courrier et vos aimables paroles. J'espère que mes vidéos vous aideront à réparer votre beau vélo. KR

Hi and thanks for your message. It’s a good experienced rider’s knowledge that I appreciate to help old and new riders, I am very grateful for safety comments like yours. KR

Thanks for your message. I’m always happy to read about my videos helping others fix these beautiful bikes. KR

Glad it was helpful. KR

Yes, it is old technology and it's scary for some people. I hope my videos give people the courage to have a go and try. KR

That's great news. I have had guys bring me their Vmax stating that the rear feels loose when they ride. I always look to the washer being missing first. stay safe. KR

Thanks. KR

Im glad to help. Many people send me mail asking about my daily job. I will have to make a video one day. I’m glad my videos help. KR

The washers are soft to squash a little and seal the gap. If they are not scratched or damaged they can be reused. All mechanical and repair manuals will instruct you to fit new washers and I tend to agree that it is best and a great habit to get into but it’s not necessary. Thanks KR

I replied to your mail

That will be great, people will love it! Me too! Dad

Hi. I have seen a lot of people struggling when they have to bleed a brake. On some Vmax forums people have become so frustrated that they can’t get their brakes to bleed no matter what they do. Sometimes an air bubble gets trapped in a joint and no matter what happens they can’t get it out. That’s why this simple system works so well and fast. I’ve used it on bikes and cars and have had great success. I found a link on AliExpress for the exact same one I bought. Thank you for your support and comment.KR a.aliexpress.com/_oC84hKe

Hi Nigel. the good thing is I can do it all by myself easily. Thank you always for watching and supporting my channel. KR

Hello to you and all my friends and subscribers in Russia. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel. KR

wow..orcia is here..

Я рад, что это помогло. извините, это не по-русски. КР

Thank you .KR

Thank you very much. KR

Thanks! Maybe better than new. KR

Thanks Nigel I still love that bike. KR

Sorry to read about your troubles. there is a chance to fix it. first remove the battery as if it still has a charge it can fry the electronics. then while the FOB is apart put it in some rice and seal the container for 24 hours. the rice absorbs the water from the FOB. you can also try drying the FOB with a hair drier when the battery is removed. Don't hurry the process as if any water is left in the FOB and you put in a new battery it will definitely mean the end to the electronics. Good luck. let us know how you got on. KR

Thank you for your kindness and concern. Sadly we have many earthquakes in Japan. I’m in Shizuoka which is the other side of the island to that last quake but it was still strong here. The loss of life and sadness is felt by everyone. Thank you again KR
