The 2nd Gen's could start holding their value in used condition and maybe start going up in value in a few years. ? (that would be IF they are in Original Stock OEM Condition though)

Have you found the reason for that leak yet?

What is the difference in your Stock Gen 2 now, after installing the upgraded DD clutch mod?

Awesome Info!!! 1) "From the Factory NEW" (Japan, where they are built) does anyone know what Type Engine Oil comes in these Gen 2 engines? (I would think they use Yamalube brand, correct?) Dino? Semi Synthetic? Full Synthetic? 2) And... what engine oil Weight (10w30, 10w40, 10w50...

I ordered that Retainer Ring yesterday from Gurued, after I talked to Tim on the phone about it. From what you are saying.. there is already a Ring in the clutch, this Rick Rash Retainer ring Replaces the stock smaller Ring and does a better job, of what it is supposed to do? My bike is still...

In the middle of this vid there are 2 red arrows pointing to the "Ricks Retainer and Double DD" as he wrote it. - When I ordered this back in 2015, straight from Rick, I only received the part that the Top Red arrow is pointing at (pic attached). *What is that part that the Lower Red Arrow is...

Great! Thank You Itgoes!!

I found this picture some time back of this Vmax with a Hyabusa Front Fender (see attachment). I cant find what site I found this picture on. Has anyone else here tried this fender on the 2nd gen? I really like how the fender looks on the Vmax.

per my owners manual... The next time the Final Gear oil change is due is at 16,000 miles (Wow). 1/3 quart of gear oil will last from 600 miles to 16,000 miles - this Yamaha Final Gear Oil must be very hard to break down.

Got a question: After riding about 20 miles for the first time after the Shaft Drive Gear Oil change (1/3 of a quart or 333ml) I checked for leaks. While touching the Shaft Drive Housing I noticed it to be Very Warm. I use the Back of my fingers to get an accurate temp reading... it was Very...

Excellent!! I forgot about the magnet trick. I have used a large magnet on my vehicles Transmission Fluid Pans before. Both are Great Ideas!! So... if we use a: shaft drive Drain Plug... the magnet sticking out the end of it does NOT hit and rotating assembly inside the Engine Oil Pan? (I am...

I thought I detected a very slight idle change at a stop once but, I wear ear plugs so I wasn't quite sure. I will Note This Info. Thank You Sir.

Cool. No common problem on these 2nd gens regarding shutting off on there own. Thank You Gentleman!!

I may have left the kick stand down when I pushed it backwards while the engine was running. Would That have killed the engine? No... I didn't hit the kill switch by. I thought it was when we put it in gear that it would die if the kickstand was down. No?

I ended up putting Yamalube 10w40 in the engine as stated in the owners manual, mostly because it is still under factory warranty so why risk the warranty. (The owners manual did Not specify Dino, Semi Synthetic or Full Synthetic Yamahlube so I assumed, per the owners manual, I needed to use the...

2017 Vmax 1700 - After I changed the engine oil on my Gen 2 for its 600 mile break in engine oil change, started the bike up, the engine was idling for close to a minute, I lifted it up of its side stand while it was still running, started to roll it backwards and the engine turned off. I am...

Thought I would put this on here just for the heck of it, nothing else much to do lately. The Shaft Drive drain plug Magnet had about the normal amount of metal shavings attached to it for 600 mile break in period. I put in the recommended .32 US Qt. which equals: 303 ml. - (barely a 3rd of a...

Cool. 1) How many miles can we go on this Synthetic Engine Oil in our engines? 2) What Shaft Drive Oil do You Use itgoes? 3) will this Drive Shaft gear that is Synthetic oil (see below) be just as good as the Yamaha Synthetic drive shaft gear oil #9079E - SH001 - 00 ? (Less money and more...

I will have 600 miles on this Gen 2 after I ride this Sunday. I have the owners Manual which states to use Yamalube brand Engine Oil and the Yamaha Geniune Shaft Drive Gear Oil. Questions: 1) Yamalube Engine Oil... is this Dino Oil or some type of Synthetic? (the owners manual states to change...

Out of boredom (Stay at home, stay safe) I thought I would throw this out here as I am curious to know... When I purchased my Brand New Vmax 1700 January of 2020, I asked the Sales Manager if mine was a California Model with the CA Smog Required Equip. on it. He checked and got back to me...
