    One of the VR members sells 4 little nylon washers (I want to say .024") which sets the metering rod deeper in the jet (less fuel).I use to get 27mpg, once I installed the nylon washers, it jumped to 37mpg. On a side note, winter grade gasoline yields up to 10% reduction in mpg. Keep in mind, Gasohol absorbs moisture, water and aluminum = aluminum oxide

    The tuning forks are definitely harmonizing now. Three day fall foliage tour around Columbia, MO. I had monkey butt by Sunday.

    The re-connectomy was a total success. These are amazing machines, and thanks for all the advice.

    I read once the warning light blinks and when the light stays on constant, you best be close to the gas station.

    It is the Rear Spline of the Driveshaft. When you talk of the "axle" & "coupler" I'm sure you mean the driveshaft & female coupler gear. Now I'm off to find replacements. P.S. The stripping noise telegraphed to the transmission end of the driveshaft.

    The stripping rear spline noise transfers to the transmission side (unless the front splines stripped) As soon as I get the drive shaft out, I'll know. Thanks for the input.

    I have never had the rear end off. Thanks to your bolt by bolt description, I'll start tackling this next. Thanks so much.

    I like Clymer's bolt by bolt (driveshaft removal) guess I'll see if there is a Clymer for the V-max

    Loud shifting clunks starting out, right before it left me a pedestrian. when we loaded it into the pick-up bed. it starts to move, then slips (like the splines or middle pinions stripping) I first thought the u-joint was in two or more pieces, but a visual inspection yielded u-joint intact. I figured I'd ask the 1st Gen gurus. I have down loaded the factory PDF manual. Thinking about looking for a Clymer V-max manual for rear swing arm removal. Thoughts/suggestions.

    I put on a Metzler Marathon (I won in a raffle) I'm real happy with the way it is wearing, and will consider another. If they still make it.

    I/we discovered the bleeder screw & clutch release (slave cylinder) today. The pdf manual acted like they are re-buildable (kit) or do you just replace (if available on a 28 yr old)?

    Not much help from me (Don't know what brand of floorboards are on my 83), but the heel/toe shifter or the hydraulic clutch caused the transfer shaft housing support to break. Sorry

    Haynes didn't list one either, any suggestions.
