    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    These are a set of carrozzeria wheels that Sean Morley sold several years ago. You can still find the occasional used set that creeps up. These are 18 inch. The main area where they shine is that they are lighter. i think the stock rear wheel with tire is about 27 to 28 lbs. I think these are...

    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    You just look for a set of wavy rotors for the 93 -0-7 Vmax.

    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    I think they are the 95 thru 97 FZR 1000 and 96 YZF 750 calipers. For me I didnt use a splitter block. They will be listed as a 2 piece line. Others on here said that the 2 piece line was easier to bleed than the 3 piece line (with splitter)

    Frame braces

    The swing arm bearings, the race and a bearing on each side of the swing arm. So you change out the race a bearing. Think of a miniaturized version of a hub or a rotor, and you would change out the bearing and race to go onto the spindle.

    Which carburetor needle to choose, I need your advice.

    CV carbs run richer as they get warmer. The reason why I asked about the exhaust, is an aftermarket exhaust, you actually flow more air OUT, so you PULL more air in (making the carbs richer.....so with an aftermarket exhaust you go LEANER. Slip-ons, not so much....they are basically stock...

    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    There isnt really any difference between the blue dots, and the stock calipers, other than color. The Mid 90's YZF/FZR 6 pot calipers is where its at. More surface area on the pads as well, as well as a better feel on the lever. Plus, the calipers are a bolt on.

    Which carburetor needle to choose, I need your advice.

    You need to find out if the midrange is lean....or rich. Until you know that, everything else is a guess. It might be an educated guess.....but still a guess. So, think of the airbox, carbs, and exhaust as something that works together. Are you running the stock airbox? With or without the "Y"...

    De-Mod clutch and stator covers

    Sean or Kyle I would say are the first stops.....or anyone else that would have those parts used.

    Vmax suddenly barely idles…won’t run

    It sounds like a definite clogged pilot jets, (because at idle and just running around town, that the circuit that the Vmax is running off of) and so taking them out, and cleaning them is needed. Ive had good luck with taking out PAJ#2, to get a full blast of air into the jets for a good shotgun...

    Power boost at high RPM 8K

    That is Normal. The whole point of Vboost was so you had basically 1 carb per cylinder. With Vboost opened, It allows basically a carb and a half per cylinder. (the intake is nothing more than an H that the carbs sit on) on top of the cylinders. So basically its over carbureted at the lower RPMS.

    Lithium Ion battery

    There was a person on FB that had an antigravity, that caught fire and got some of the wiring harness right by the battery. This was a gen 2.

    Carb kits or just needle shims?

    Probably 147.5's and a 20 thou shim to start with. I am a big fan of the factory pro needles (if you can find them). I would recommend them pretty much over the stock needles. That way you can adjust them where you want them. They have an amazing transition point.

    My gen2 started dying when coasting with the clutch pulled...

    My 2011 started doing this last week. I got into the diagnostic screen and and it's the accelerometer position sensor. It should read 15 to 16 and mine reads 17. I THINK I can adjust it, without having to replace it. It's D14 in the diagnostic screen.

    Wiring Upgrade from battery terminals

    Here is JKVmax's email. The last time that I bought some ground kits from his is 2021. Hopefully he is still around (We are ALL getting older) Johan Kjellberg [email protected] Here are some of his files as well

    Carb kits or just needle shims?

    Here is what and where I've bought needle shims from. You will need 2 kits (for 4 carbs). The 20 thou shim is equal to 1/2 the distance between spaces on adjustable needles. The best way to yet ahold of Sean, is just pure email. [email protected]...

    V-Max Speed Wobble (ran it up to 115mph and...)

    Early articles that you read about the Vmax, generally gave the bike high marks, even in the braking area. In the later magazines, everyone basically said the Vmax engine over powered the stock chassis and fixes have been on to fix various wobbles, flexes and the like have been developed and...
