People.

YSS also do cheaper non piggyback types. I put some on my trike. progressive springs in the front end also big improvement (just for info).

Nice explanation Sparky.

What I'm currently using & how I fitted it. I'd recommend disassembly & cleaning at the very least as there was some fine swarf inside mine. https://www.vmaxforum.net/threads/replacement-fuel-pump-bracket-swap-pt1.51865/...

Condition of carb boots top (in air box) & bottom is?

I have & translated it into English. As OP didn't post it publicly I will not either. PM me.

I bought it as a trike. Tbh it's a relatively simple conversion. Remove the swing arm & rear wheel & replace with a new swing arm that has with a one piece axle & drive shaft (english in my case) grafted to the old swing arm frame section, larger rr brake m/cylinder. The months of work was...

Took me months to get my trike running right but when I did - oh boy - esp as the last bike had (& most 'powerful') was a '70s Honda CB500T with sidewinder sidecar (tray). I love the way this thing rides & even more how it looks. Just needs better steering which I hope to address next yr.

I had something similar happen to me when overhauling my carbs. In my case I'd hooked up the fuel line to the wrong spigot. yeah. Easy thing to check.

I'll be flushing out the rust to start with time permitting, then 2nd fuel filter, then monitoring it. I don't have time to remove it for thorough de-rusting & coating atm esp as I want to fit a much bigger tank at some point. I am aware there are plenty of posts on this. Just mentioned it as...

Just an observation from my c. 1yr on this group. I may be wrong. The people who seen to have most problems with this sort of thing are ones who have gone 'off piste' from OEM in regard to exhausts, airbox and carb needles/jets or have bought bikes where the previous owner has or with...

I do. Looking at these because I've read they're better in handling & because there's no faffing about with air pressure. I have decided to send the others back & get a set from Exactrep as you suggest. They're only another £20 & at least I know what I'll be getting is right & from a company...

That's what I was thinking. This isn't the same vendor. The ones that supplied the GSXRs claim to be official YSS R&D & suspension specialist (firefox racing). I've looked up the product code for YSS Vmax gen 1 & get the same one for all models 85-02. I'm struggling to find anywhere that can...

Short vers. The springs in my OEM forks need replacing. Tried to get some progressive YSS but got sent the wrong ones (early type not for 1998). Sent 'em back & got refund. Bought some more YSS progressives, also stated for Vmax '95-02. They've turned up but are marked for suzuki gsxr 750 '88...

Is the engine also running rough or even differently than normal? & How old is your battery? I recently lost all my electrics at petrol station. Engine was running at the time but had been sounding rough. There had been no trouble staring. Everything died inc the motor. Long story short - the...

So it's designed to have better structural integrity under acceleration load than for braking (at the rear) but you'd 'want to' have that the other way round at the front? Compromise being the tread pattern is the wrong way round, which would reduce braking efficiency (& steering grip) - in the wet?

What is the alleged benefit from having the tyre on backwards ?

Thanks. I'm using a stock front end. Currently rebuilding the OEM forks (springs & seals frelled). Maybe moving to R1's (much) later with raked trees.

If you ever do I'd be mighty interested how that works out. I've a standard bike tyre on my trike.

Also interested.
