    Gravel On My Street!

    I feel your pain..... they hit my neighborhood too. around here they call it chip and seal. oh and before they did that they cut back the sod 2 feet and left it like that for 4 weeks. grass was just starting to grow back before the chip and seal. the main road that I have to use to get to my...

    fork oil quantity

    yep I'll do the 5.5" of syn. power steer fluid and the instructions say to use my stock spacers. mine are original and measure 5 3/8" but progressive says they should be 5 1/4. rather than cutting off the 1/8. can't imagine 1/8 more preload would make much difference. I may try them as is and...

    fork oil quantity

    got my progressive springs yesterday but have one question. in Sean's video on fork rebuild, 4.8 inches of p. steer fluid from top of compressed fork. it looks like he' are doing a later model fork. is it the same for the early model forks? thanks again, bill

    saddle bags

    this is what I just got and installed on my max. I still have the strap over the seat but added some bolt on straps on the back of my bags and things are much more secure and don't move around. the supports are made by Fehling and I ordered them from England since no one in the USA has them...

    the perfect bleeder

    even though I have a "mightyvac" hand bleeder I've found that doing it backwards is probably the easiest when I did my clutch rebuild. A small plastic bottle with a nipple and hose and one of those snot sucker bulbs for babies. Just draw most of the fluid from the reservoir with the sucker bulb...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    After installing my new adjustable vboost controller ( thanks Sean) I had to decide where to put the led that indicates when the boost is on. I didn't want it pointing straight at me as that would be like looking into a LED flashlight. so I took apart the gauges and drilled a 1/4 hole in the...

    New Windsheild option.

    I used this one as my first windscreen. definitely not sporty but worked well for getting the wind off your chest area. http://www.classiccruiser.com/National-Cycle/Deflector-Screen/99547/ Then I got a large one from a yamaha dealer. which worked well for overall protection but had a curved...

    mutant ninja stator screws from hell

    Finally getting around to changing over to the higher output stator, (thanks CaptainKyle). The side cover came off no problem despite having to juggle the gears that wanted to come along for the ride. The ******* screws put up a hell of a fight :bang head: due to their being installed with the...

    vboost servo motor

    Yes I am using a multi meter and it does have the K. That misprint was confusing at first but I've seen plenty of others in this manual. so what is telling the motor to go on to the open position then reverse to the closed position when turning on the key? the control unit? if so mine must be...
