So aftr sitting over a week mybattery lost its charge, i had to move the bike back about 3ft to reach the charger.. when i tried pushing it back onto the service stand i lost balance and dropped the bike onto the floor, broke my rear signal, mirror, and brake pedal.. ive only had my bike about a...

I warmed it up completely to see how it would do, after warm it idled smoothly, but high. Easily fixed.

Thats good to know. I just came in from warming it up, after completely warm it was idling high about 2000 rpm but a turn on the throttle screw fixed that right away, i did find an oil leak right in the front of the motor where my rpm gage cable connects, will be taking that apart soon to try n...

I also have an idling question, dont want to start a new thread but i just got my maxim home, and havent really fired it up for very long, but one thing i noticed is once it started to warm up a bit the rpms seem to go up and down a bit from 1000 to 1300 or so, is thjs maybe a timing issue or...

Yeah ive fired this up and it sounds real good, lets see how i do on my first ride, cant come soon enough. Ironically, we drove through punxy today with it on the trailer and there was a crazy snow-storm down there, then rain coming back through. Hopefully it will get nice soon.

Got her home! Shes a beaut! Very exited for spring.. much heavier than i expected, im only 130 lbs and im real happy i didnt get a bigger one.

For more top speed you would want to decrease the number of teeth on the rear, or replace the rear with the same and put one with a tooth or 2 more on the front.. vice versa for more torque/acceleration witjh a little less top speed. Its all preference which to do but ive read on this forum that...

No doubt, i just turn the screw on the carb to adjust that, correct? In the meantime im gathering up some gear. Helmet and a jacket/gloves and boots. Gotta decide if i want padded pants for riding or if i should just buy pads to put on over regular jeans. Haha decisions. Ideally, i pictured just...

Ok ill try to tinker with it a little when i get the chance, he said after rejetting and the air filter/exhaust it ran lean, couldnt see on the video but he said it idles perfect at 1200 rpm

Here is the email be sent me with the video about temperature: The cold tends to make this bike a little temperamental, so yesterday afternoon while the weather was nice I started it up so that you would have more than just my word to go on that it actually runs quite well, provided its warm...

That is a good observation dave, he did inform me that it was not stock, the odometer actually says 12000 something, and actual mileage is around 42000. All of this was included in the ad, he is being very straight up about everything so far, also the front tire is only just passing, and will...

Hahaha i like how you think.. gotta get it home before anything tho, dont care about anything but gettin it home, then ill start thinking of ways to improve it. Or just leave it alone and ride the piss out of it.

Ok thats good news, unfortunately, i got stuck working this weekend so the next day he has available is next friday. He said its not going anywhere so if all goes well it will be in my garage by then. I noticed it sounds kinda like a souped up atv, is there anything immediately i can do to give...

Oh and the orange at the bottom of the fork is a sticker, here in pa we have to have registration and inspection stickers there

Yes he had it professionally re-painted and clearcoated, he told me there is one drip behind the fork which isnt noticable. Not a big deal to me regardles, it does seem to me that i got one hell of a deal, just hoping i dont find anything like tranny problems or something when im going down the...

Thanks saltydog im grabbing it as soon as i possibly can. He was nice enough to send me a video of it running, and the one tail light is out which he is replacing today.

Dont have it yet, picking it up this weekend.(next weekend at the latest)
