I had a noise on occasion with starting, but not all the time. So I thought aww, I ve had this problem in the past. I’ll pull the starter clutch, must be loose/worn? I have it apart now, no real grooving on the flywheel, no cracks in the starter clutch and it wasn’t loose. But the tin looking...

Was browsing on Kijiji the other night and seen my first Vmax. I rebuilt the motor with parts and pointers from Sean M. The yellow bike is what I had. The other pics, same bike now for sale. Just makes my stomach turn with how beat up she looks now

Just wondering if there is going to be a Vmax day in St Thomas this year or not? Haven't seen or heard of any info yet.

Just got home from a 3 day ride almost 2000km's long. Rode the bike from Southern Ontario up to Sudbury then over to Thessalon for the night. Day two is the video of hwy 129 from Thessalon to Chapleau. After lunch we rode down Hwy 17 to Sault St. Marie . Day 3 rode to Manitoulin to catch the...

Just a question for anyone that might know. Lately when riding, when I pull the clutch in to down shift the bike will drop in rpm to the point of stalling. I'm guessing it's a carb problem.? Would I be correct to assume this? How would I solve this problem, as I'm doing a 2000km road trip...

Does this seem right to you guys/gals? I'm just seeing red flags all over this one. I could be wrong? 1985 Yamaha V Max tons of mods but done right - reduced...

Is anyone planning to attend the Motorcycle Supershow at the International Centre in Toronto? My son and I will be going. We enjoy looking at bikes I can never afford. LOL

My motor started knocking the other day. I drained the oil and found brass all through it. Pulled the motor out and this is what I found. I'm just wondering if the guys that know motors on here can help me a little with what I'm looking at. I don't have a lot of cash to spend, and just want...

Took the bike out for a ride to meet up with a buddy and I hit her pretty good leaving a stop sign. The bike felt really lazy to me and when I let off the throttle it seemed to be losing power. It finally came around but when I stopped at the next sign I could hear a knocking in the motor...

Took the 85 out to St Thomas race way on Sunday. Here is a look at my best run of six. I shut her down soon after cause I think I fouled my plugs adjusting my v boost to open at 3500rpm. I put it back to 5500 but she didn't come around. Still felt lazy. Didn't have new plus with me. But...

Hey guys, I'm scratching my head here. Last night while riding home, it got a little playful with a buddy of mine and his HD. I could take him at will at any speed, but if I was steady throttle around 7500 - 9000 rpm it would feel like it was running out of steam??? Could this be a float...

Some pics of my day in Dover. Had a blast and tried to get pictures of all the Vmaxes I could find. lol Wish I could have parked mine on main street. The 85' would have looked pretty sharp, but I was ok with a side street. lol

Does anyone know if there is going to be a Vmax day at St.Thomas Raceway this year. Also is it only open to VMOA members or can anyone come out? Thanks in advance.

Just got back yesterday night from a overnight ride around Georgian Bay and Manitoulin island. :punk: Had 7 other guys with me and checked out some of the sights around the island. Day two rode around past Sudbury to Barrie , then home through Orangeville. Put about 800- 900 km's on in two...

Ran my Max at the opening day test and tune in Grand Bend. Best I could do was a 12.2 @ 115mph. It was my first time drag racing the bike and only had 4 runs. I feel my launch is really lame. LOL I'm open to constructive criticism , I have a video. I just can't figure out how to post it...

Hey guys, just a quick question. On my 85 Vmax I have done the R/R wire mod . Red wire direct to batt. with 30 amp fuse. and direct ground wire to frame / batt. Charging is up to 14.2 VDC at idle. When the headlight is on though the charging volts drop to 12.3 VDC. Is this normal?

I think I just found my new favorite pub /eatery! THE TILTED KILT. Has anyone ever been????? It puts Hooters to shame in my opinion. I was like a kid in a candy store, lol. :clapping:
