    Engine Oil Leak - Front Left

    I did have to take the back cover off to get the front cover off. There is a gasket there and engine oil behind the cover. Still waiting for the replacement gasket to come in the mail. I think the case was leaking at the front upper most point and the oil was getting blow up on the engine...

    Engine Oil Leak - Front Left

    Thanks for the replies. I agree and think it's leaking from the front cover so I ordered a new gasket. In order to remove the front left cover do I also have the remove the cover behind it where the shifter is? I started to remove the case cover and it wouldn't come off because of the wires...

    Engine Oil Leak - Front Left

    I’ve got an engine oil leak on my 93 vmax but I can’t tell where it is coming from. The oil seems to be coming from the front left side cover. The cover bolts were a bit loose so I tightened them down a bit but that didn’t seem to help. It’s not the valve covers because they have been...

    Replacing Carb Diaphragms

    Yea and when I installed the new ones I used WD40 and two screw drivers. One I wedged in between the two plastic washers to create some space and then the other one to push the diaphragm between the washers. Make sure that the diaphragm is in all the way and seated in the grove of the washer...

    Replacing Carb Diaphragms

    I just bought a set directly from him for $100 two weeks ago. I'd follow the instruction on his ebay auction for changing the diaphragms. I broke one of my slides when trying to take it apart so I just pulled the diaphragm off the side and installed the new ones without separating the slide...

    Replacing Carb Diaphragms

    When installing the new diaphragms does the orientation matter? I noticed on the slide there is a small hole on the end where the needle is. When installed into the carb the hole will face the bottom. The diaphragm has a tab on the outer edge so it's possible to change the orientation of the...

    Replacing Carb Diaphragms

    I saw someone mention gorilla glue but I read someone else said it cause the slide to crack when then glue expanded which wouldn't surprise me. That glue does expand a lot. PVC cement sounds good but it would be nice to get them apart again. Would RTV silicone work? That's supposed to resist...

    Replacing Carb Diaphragms

    So had anyone found a good glue for putting the slides back together?

    Slide Diaphragm Ok?

    Sounds good. So does anyone have a recommendation on a type of glue to use to hold the sliders together?

    Slide Diaphragm Ok?

    RTV sounds like a good idea. 2 of the 4 had minor damange like in the picture.

    Slide Diaphragm Ok?

    Just wondering if this slide diaphragm is shot? It has a small rip near the edge but the rip does not go all the way through. Otherwise the rubber still seems pliable.

    Black tar in intake

    Yep. :-) I'm the second owner and the guy I bought it from just didn't have the time to ride it. It's been a good bike till this spring when I fired it up and it was dumping fuel out the exhaust from a stuck float.

    Black tar in intake

    Ok, after having another look that black stuff is inside the head not the intake. If they have that black coating on the head from the factory I'm assuming that it's just flaking off and going through the motor and out the exhuast. Some ports only have a little another others are completly...

    Black tar in intake

    Hi guys. Just wonder if someone can tell me what the black tar crystals are in the intake manifold. Is this cause for concern? All four intake ports were like this. Some worse than others. I had to remove the carbs to clean them and notice this after removing them.

    Better than cobra?s

    Yea I figure that 12.6hp was a overly high figure. I wouldn't be surprised if it atleast keeps the stock hp rating or maybe gain a couple. Which would be better than loosing hp with the cobras. It has a crossover so it shouldn't loose any hp. However the price is really high for just slip...

    Better than cobra?s

    I also found these pipes. They are made by Fokker and apparently were sold by Yamaha as a factory upgrade. I think they look great and have a built in crossover and they claim a 12.6 hp gain over stock. Judging by the video I think they are on the quiet side. You?ll also notice that when...
