My Vmax has sat for a number of years and I need to go through the carbs. It's starts and idles poorly, but that is about it. It spits and stalls if you try to ride it. Where can I buy a rebuild kit with high quality parts? Any input would be appreciated.

Does anyone know of a paint that closely matches the gold center of '98 front rotors? Nothing I've seen in the local hardware or box stores is even close. TIA

I'd love to have the wheels too. Found this in a google image search. Here is the page it's listed on: http://moto.zombdrive.com/yamaha/yamaha-vmax-1200/ Any ideas?

Can't seem to find an answer to this, but is there any functional difference in the factory front wheels? I like the way the 85's look, but I wouldn't want one if it is heavier or weaker.

Long story short I had a 2009 Vmax and sold it to a dealer who sold it to someone else sometime in 2011 or 2012. Today, while cleaning out my desk I found the key. If this is your key I'll be happy to send it to you, but first we're going to have to figure out a way to be sure it's yours...

Has anyone figured out how to get the speedometer to read correctly when changing front tire sizes without going to a digital unit?

Long story short, I’ve been riding for over 30 years and never had or wanted a loud bike. In fact I’ve never even had a bike with an aftermarket can, including the four Vmaxes I’ve owned. That said, I’ve been looking at systems for my 98. Before I dive into this I was wondering what kind of...

Lately I've been dragging my side stand on hard left turns. I'm getting concerned about levering the bike off the rear tire when riding spiritedly. Removing the center stand is a last resort as it saves a good amount of room in the garage when I park the bike. Currently the bike has stock...

I'm working on a set of frame sliders and would like to use the front engine mounts as a connection point. Currently there is a long rod that runs from side to side across the front of the engine. I'd like to replace that with individual bolts on each side. Does anyone know why they used a...

Later this week I'm going to pick up that 2009 in VA. Since I don't have one to look at can anyone tell me if there are any good attachements points in the front? I don't want to scratch anything and have never had good luck with Canyon Dancers. TIA, Wayne

Not exactly sure where this post should go, but this section seems right. Could someone with an '03 or '04 measure the stripes for me? I know they are tapered, and I used to have the dimensions, but I've lost them over the years. Thanks, Wayne

Cool forum. When I had my Vmax I was hoping someone would start one of these. Those Yahoo lists just aren't the same. Last summer I sold my Vmax but would like to get another. I'm looking for something to rebuild, so if anyone knows of a poor neglected Vmax, please send me a PM or email...
