Why does my Yamaha Vmax start so hard?
End of story. The last couple of weeks it’s been starting real hard. I have to crank it 5 or 6 times before it starts, and then when it does start, it chugs and smokes like never before. I just installed a new fuel line and fuel bulb, and it’s still acting this way.
How long should I idle my Yamaha Vmax before riding?
Pull your choke out, and you’ll find it starts easier. Idle the bike for up to five minutes with the choke pulled before riding, but be sure to push the choke back in before you hop on and take off once the five minutes have expired. 2. Malfunctioning Oil Pump

Why is the low fuel light on on my Vmax?
Like any old bike, an older VMAX can stutter on occasions or even stall out completely. According to a few of them, the bike acts as if there’s no fuel left in the engine. Some reports state that the ‘low fuel’ light warning light stays on even when the fuel tank’s full.
