I don't often use Tapatalk but I do occasionally and it works well.

That looks like it would be a lot of fun to ride locally to weekend long runs. It will give a stock G1 headaches all day long.:damn angry:

Yes, and I’m sure he is please with this post. The ideas and support thereof is strong with VMF! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It sounds like a solid bike and price is not at all bad. I found this forum a couple months before I purchased my Vmax and reading through the technical sections was a great way to get a feel for what to look for. Questions that you will have will get a friendly answer either pointing you to a...

I was surprised with my local dealer having parts for my 1992 but the parts counter employee who has been there since the early 80's said that Yamaha has a habit of using many parts across many product lines. While they have only sold a few Vmax's and no longer sell many bikes at all they do...

That will be a cool resto Kyle, especially so that it will also be honoring your Uncle. As a young lad of the early 70's I subscribed to 2 or three dirt bike mags and I loved to read the reports on Jim Pomeroy racing in Europe. One particular story that has stuck in my mind was a race in...

I like that idea! I could name it "HTFO" which also is what my license plate says.

A member recently converted the blank port to a indicator for when his manually switched fan is running, Here's what Likembikem noted: "I used the '6th dummy indicator' I installed a lens and have that for my manual fan switch on indicator."

If I am understanding your setup correctly it would probably work if the small air filter was inside of the air box so it would get a vacuum pull from the carbs. The carbs pulling a vacuum on the crankcase is the biggest advantage for this setup.

Sounds like a great project for your grandfather and you, memories you will cherish for sure!

Here is the post I was talking about: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=41389&highlight=lever

The clutch lever mod is this: to make the pull easier by boring out the levers mounting hole and inserting a small roller bearing (friction fit) that will ride on the bolt that secures the lever to the perch. I have a procedure but it is at home on the backup drive, I'll try to remember to post...

Have you checked in with Jedi to see what he may know?

Hmmm, eyelashes and Vmax's don't really go together! I wonder if this is LankeeYankee!:rofl_200:

The o-ring he speaks of is more than likely for the oil pickup, if that pops the engine won't pump oil from the oil pan back to the engine. It could mean a toasted engine which I am told is not so much fun.

Looks like it sold, helluva deal for someone!

2005 is a iconic year for the Vmax and this is a fine example, good luck with the sale.

Glad to hear things are on a positive path for you and your wife. It's always nice to have a good friend to support and encourage you with life's ups and downs.

I had the PCW clutch installed on mine and it is a easier pull than the Dbl d clutch.
