Everybody has an opinion here, so I'll chip in my thoughts. I have a 05 max that I changed to 18" wheels & radials. In the process of doing this change, I had the rear wheel off the bike for the first time. When I re-installed the wheel, I tighten to the 110 ft./lbs yamaha recommends. The...

Shawn, I do have the 2" short rear headers in the correct orientation and placement. In fact, I had a friend in the local vmax club hold the front header in position while I joined the rear header to the front header. I promise you there is only one way these will go together. I...

I thought I would give you a update on the UFO installation saga. No amount of coaxing or tightening schemes have been able to get these pipes on the bike without leaking. The exhaust flanges are simply not square with the exhaust port. The bends need to be adjusted in two planes. If the...

I tried the UFO 4/2 exhaust with out the gaskets yesterday, no good, all four are leaking now. It was a little easier to fit up with the extra play with the gaskets removed. The UFO exhaust pipes are simply not square with the exhaust port. Anybody want to buy a brand new set of UFO pipes real...

I have a new UFO exhaust system I bought for my 05 max. I have had a hell of a time getting this exhaust system installed. With a lot of tugging and pushing I finally got the thing flanged up. Now I have three of the four cylinders leaking at the exhaust port. I used new exhaust gaskets...

How about a phone number or where is Gary McCoy and University motors? What City and state. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks. Dale Jones Vmoa 4034

Ray, Sorry for the delay, I posted my 2005 in the Members section of the Gallery. I have Supertrapps now, but have UFO's full system on order. Thanks, Dale

I have the Walker Holeshot braces that do cross the engine. They bolt on to the frame. Some others weld on. The welded type should do a better job, but I did not want to weld on the frame. They sure took the rubberband feel out of the bike.

VMAX12S, Yeah, sounds good to me. It would be nice to talk to someone else that has gone down the Vmax road. Contact me at: [email protected] or [email protected]

See My post under "Wheels and tires" Me-880 topic. The braced swing arm does help the frame flexing problem, but the Frame braces are a bigger gain for the buck. I did both on my max, and I think the frame braces did more to help the handling than the braced swingarm did. I would go with...

I just finished my mods to my 2005 vmax. Hole shot frame braces, Works dual rate front fork spring kit, Progressive rear shocks, Sportmax notched and braced swingarm, Sportmax 18 x 5.5 rear alloy rim, Sportmax 18 x 3.5 front alloy rim. ME-880 130/70-R18 front tire and a ME-880 180/55-ZR18...

Buster, Yeah, the manual says 85 ft. lbs. . I had the final drive off the bike to install a Sportmax 18 " rim and braced swingarm. I did torque the thing to 85 Ft. Lbs. Thanks for the info. I''ll correct thr torque setting.

Can anyone tell me how hot the final drive pumkin gets? Mine is very hot to the touch. Is this normal? I change the hypo oil. It did'nt make any difference.

I just put a ME880 200/50-R18 on the rear and a ME880 130/70-R18 on the front. The bike is torn down for other parts I"m waiting on. I hope this was the right choice for tires. I have used the Avons on my other bikes with excellent results. I was going to get a set of Avons for the max...
