    coolant additive

    My vmax was running up to 2/3 on the temp guage while in traffic. I flushed the system...used about 60% water 40% coolant and Water wetter...and the temps don't get above 1/2 now. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=RED-80204

    All the gaskets were included with the exhaust. Could i reuse these or would i be pressing my luck?

    95 vmax exhaust

    I think the gaskets are with it. I didn't check in the box. Are they crush gaskets?

    95 vmax exhaust

    my 95 vmax stock exhaust isn't in bad shape; however, a gentlemen at the dealership had an 05 vmax and put new pipes on it as soon as he got it. He since got rid of the bike, but when he found out i had a 95, he said he would give me his old exhasut system. Brand new...so i couldn't pass up...

    Front tire tread wears very strange

    My front tire's wear seems very strange. I'm sure it's the stock tire...it's a Bridgestone. The bike has 7,000 miles on it..and i just got it. The front tire has some life left in it, but it's about time to replace it; however the tread seems strange. The tire has "hills" going across the...

    seafoam

    Honestly, my carbs aren't messed up :ummm: I just thought maybe it would be good for the bike? So just throw some in the gas tank? Is seafoam about the best cleaner to use? After i throw it in the gas tank, would i still need to change the oil? :bang head: sorry for all the questions

    seafoam

    I was thinking of seafoaming my 95 vmax. I just bought it with 7K miles and it's sit a lot. Would this be a good idea to seafoam? If so, i've never used the stuff so what would be the steps of using it? Put in Oil & gas tank? Then suck some through the vacuum hoses...let sit and start...

    cylinder coolant change?

    I am about to replace the coolant in my vmax. The manual says to remove the side covers off each cylinder then pull out the rubber plugs. I'm having problems with this. i remove the cover and behind i can't figure out how to get the plug out. it has a threaded metal center and a rubber...

    new owner few questions

    I saw those.....would def. make life easier. I read something that you have to bend the crossover arm so the filter will fit? Anyone done this?

    new owner few questions

    Oh one more thing.... I don't like the oil filter setup. It was hard to get off...and even harder to get back on.... I thought maybe the threads were messed up...but then i realized what i did....there's two notches and i bent on of the notches tightening it against the motor...i guess it...

    new owner few questions

    lol...this thing is already too fast for me...i don't think any mods right now. It has a brand new tire on it...but i'm only a $1.60...so i romp on the throttle at 35mph and still spinning the back tire! I absolutely love the looks of the bike and the power too, but there are a few things i...

    new owner few questions

    Rear end likes to get loose. The owner before me put a new tire on the back, but bike as a lot of power. I have learned not to punch it coming out of a corner.. :rofl_200: ...and to watch punching it anything less than 30mph....i'm only 162 lbs so the front end comes up in the air. I...

    new owner few questions

    Hi. I just picked up a 95 Vmax 1200 w/ 7K miles. I've had several motorcycles, but i have a couple questions. 1. 10w40 oil? I have no manual. Yamalube good with the clutch? Also where to get the oil filter and how much oil does it hold? 2. Normal driving... where are good shift points...
