Hi, Sorry, I know this question might've been asked a lot. But searching this forum throws me everywhere. I'm just looking for an easy troubleshooting checklist to follow for my 1992 Vmax. Just in case I miss something trivial. My bike used to be very easy to start. Just a little flick on the...

Hi, I'm trying to buy this hand grip from ebay for my 92 Vmax: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Non-slip-Hand-Grips-1-Handlebar-Chrome-For-Yamaha-V-Max-Vmax-V-Max-VMX-1200-/131214962969?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e8d057119 But I'm rather confused because the (seemingly) same item...

Hi, First of all. I want to thank you to this forum members. You guys have been a lot of help. But I appreciate some more help. Here's what I got: Gen 1 vmax with aftermarket exhaust. Everything else is stock. I've been having problem with my cyl no 3. At first I thought it was...

Hi, I come across this product on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTORCYCLE-52mm-Racing-Gauge-Air-Fuel-Ratio-WHITE-Back-light-/321032174453?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4abf023b75&vxp=mtr Anyone uses this before? Can I use this to tune the carb?

Hi, My fuel reserve light doesn't work. (The bulb works, it turns on and then off when I start the bike). But many times I'm running empty without even knowing. So, I would love to get one of these installed on my vmax. A fuel level gauge/indicator...

Hi, Seafoam is not available here, but I find another product that looks similar http://crcindustries.com/auto/?s=05316 It costs about $10 here Does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks

Setting all four A/F screws blindly to 2 1/4 turn. Is that OK? Hi Appreciate your comments and suggestions. I'm really not knowledgeable enough about carb. Anyway here's the story. Stock carb, custom exhaust. The PO messed up. Carb setting was way off. On idle the bike seemed to be...

Hi I read somewhere that all R/R are the same. We can use any that sort of fits. But is it ok to use one from smaller engine say for example from an R6 or Ninja 6R? Or does it have to be coming from the approximately the same engine size with Vmax? Thanks. Regards,

Hi, If only one of the coil is bad, can we just replace that one (or two) coil with COP or do we have to replace all four of them at once? Thanks, Regards,

Hi guys, need advice from vmax gurus here. One of the suggestion in fixing the hotstart or low voltage problem from this post http://vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=19108 is to connect the R/R positive directly to battery with a new bigger cable. But when I was reading the service manual...

Hi, I came across a nice Gen 1 vmax, but seems like it's been somehow modified and repainted. Strangely enough I can't find the VIN on the steering column as usual. there are only 5 digits numbers engraved on the column but it is no VIN. Seems like the cover and fender has been repainted...
