    Restoration help

    This is what you should see from the top. ...and from the side In addition you should hear the V Boost go through a cycle when the ignition is turned on.

    Fuel Red light and Oil Red light comes on, what could be the problem?

    No magic answer I'm afraid - it's time to get the multi-meter out. The only common point is the earths from these lights; do you have continuity to earth from both bulb holders? Can we assume that the cluster illumination, high beam, indicator warning, tacho and water temp indicator all work...

    Fuel Red light and Oil Red light comes on, what could be the problem?

    As the wiring to the warning lights changed after '90 it would be helpful if you could put the year of the bike in your profile. Can we assume you have access to wiring diagrams?

    Exhaust, Spark plugs, front shocks QUESTIONS

    It would be helpful if you could be more precise as to what the problem is. The way you have written suggests that you have too much fork movement (dive)? If that is the case then changing the seals will have no effect unless, as has already been suggested, they leak allowing the damping oil to...

    Restoration help

    There is nothing particularly 'special' about the Max (apart than it IS a Max :D) Is there a full compliment of fluid in the reservoir, if so the first step would be to bleed it. Do a reverse bleed as this is easier than trying to force the air downhill. Hopefully that will give you pressure...

    Yamaha driveshaft compatibility table

    Never seen a post that does a comparison. Would be easier to do a search of the part numbers to see if any are the same.

    After market brake rotors

    Hmm, sorry to sound sceptical but as heat is being applied locally to the centre of the wheel I would be surprised if sufficient would be conducted through the wheel 'spokes' and then through the rim before there would be any chance of the air expanding. To get it to expand to a degree that...

    After market brake rotors

    Sorry if I'm being a bit dense here but why is it necessary to remove the tyre valve if you are working on the rotor fasteners?

    slide not moving

    Wouldn't the slide still move even if the cylinder wasn't firing?

    Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Source

    It is, part # 903401413200. PS It's a final drive, a differential has two wheels attached to it. :rolleyes::)

    1985 fork brace

    Re the part # digit, the ninth and tenth digits of the part number indicates differences, corrections or modifications to the original part number. The ninth digit position (000-00000-X0-00) maybe substituted with a letter. This position indicates variations that may exist within a specific...

    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    Racetech make no comment regarding adding air but do make a point of setting the static sag which, from personal experience, does transform how the set-up performs. I've never added air to my forks as I'm happy with how they perform but it is one of those 'tweaks' that is easily undoable. As the...

    2004 CDI to 1995 CDI diagram

    A photo would still be helpful and perhaps help identify what has been sent.

    2004 CDI to 1995 CDI diagram

    As far as I'm aware there wasn't a change once the later ignition unit was introduced. A photo of what you were sent and it identification label would be helpful.

    A little help.

    No easy way I can think of. If you suspect foreign matter then an endoscope for your mobile would be the easiest way to check and avoid the need for any dismantling. To answer you question I'm not sure if you can access the head bolts with the cams in situ - other will know the answer.

    Cataracts

    I can confirm Bill's experience when I had mine done last year. When having the surgery all you can see is a bright light and feel some pressure. As the eye is anaesthetised you don't feel anything. For me the worst part was the water that ran into my ear 'ole!

    1992 V-Max any throttle and it cuts out

    Can we assume that it was running OK when put into hibernation and was any work done on it over the Winter? Do you hear the fuel pump prime when the ignition is switched on? Do you get a similar amount of fuel out of the float chambers when draining them? If you suspect the pump you could rig...

    FRONT FORKS DILEMMA!

    The answer to your original question was 'no', there aren't, as far as I know any easy bolt in options. What was suggested is the most cost effective means of achieving your goal i.e. to improve ride, cornering. You can fit USD forks but from what I've been told and improvement over an upgraded...
