I am reluctantly selling my VMAX. Spending more time on my FZ1, and the Max is just sitting most of the time. Although I didn't spend a lot of time on this forum, the info here was priceless for putting together my bike. Thanks to all. :punk: All mods done within last 3 years and 4k miles...

I recently installed Marks exhaust and DJ stage seven kit. The rear two pipes are VERY blue . Set floats dry on bench, running fairly well, some popping so still playing with it but -- why are the rear two pipes SO blue while the front two look fine just turning light gold. :confused2: Too...

Just a heads up. Might be a good deal for someone if you can pickup in MA. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-2007-Yamaha-V-Max-Vance-Hines-Exhaust-System-Used-/360351615818?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53e6a14b4a

I'm going with Progressive springs and lowered 2", and I see a lot of guys use 15w oil. Is this a necessity to compensate for being lowered? I ask cause I don't want the ride to be real firm, and I weigh next to nothing, (about 155 lbs WITH gear) Should I stick with 10w? Any suggestions...

Pardon my ignorance but I'm having a heck of a time grasping the spacers needed for dropping the forks internally. I have gone through and searched but want to confirm that I'm following correctly. If I am wanting to install progressive springs, in order to lower it, I add a pvc spacer under...

Is it possible to remove the center nut on clutch boss without a clutch holding tool ? and no impact gun ? Trying to do it manually and having no luck :bang head:

I am going through a long list of winter mods, including checking/fixing the o-ring (which was out of place) Upon dropping the pan I noticed something wedged in the oil pickup screen. I don't have any idea what this is and I've looked but cannot figure out where this might have come from. So...

If this needs to be moved to a different thread by all means please do. Just wasn't sure where to put it, since it's not real technical. Anyway I have some what seem to be cracks in the rear housing , and was wondering if anyone has seen similar? It certainly has me a little concerned, but it...

I was looking for Progressive front springs to drop things a bit. According to Progressive, the same springs crossed referenced identical to a Suzuki VS800. So I'm thinking the forks have to be comparable if they share the same springs.(39mm fork compared to Vmax 40mm) A little more digging...

Does anyone know how much larger the headers are for Kerker or Marks compared to the stock header?

Quick history- recently picked up a 1990 with 18k miles, been in storage 4 yrs. Got it home, pulled gas tank,drained ,cleaned, pulled carbs and totally cleaned then sync-d. Fresh oil and coolant, bled brakes and clutch fluid and we were going. :eusa_dance: My first Vmax and I am hooked and...

I'm ready to pick up a 1990 with 18k miles, decent overall shape. It's currently not running and the elderly owner says one day it just started running really bad, would not idle right etc. Everything looks there, just partially apart after owner disassembled to troubleshoot, only to give up...
