I just had the rear brake squeal on mine. I ended up having to remove the caliper pistons and cleaning everything up really well. I started by doing a flush….still a squeal. Next changed the pads, deglazed the rotor, and a little grease on the backside of the pads. Still had the squeal. Only the...
You can slide the front forks without swapping the rears, but I’m not sure how much that will drop the ride height. 3/4” in the front was the max for me with the drag bars and new brake/clutch master cylinders. Also, I appreciate the compliment! I’m a pretty big fan of the bike. The bag is a...
The 412’s were returned. I tried to get an “eBay deal” and ended up paying the price. They were delivered with surface rust on the springs and the bushing were already cracked. They ended up being new but very old stock. I can get a pic with just the front lowered when the weather breaks.
Fender delete/ reflector mod tail light/ L brackets to mount plate/ and led lights. Cleans up the back of the bike. Also raised the front forks 3/4” in the triple trees.
I just slid my front forks 3/4-1” in the triple trees and have 11.5” 412’s being delivered on Tuesday. I can post and update and pics when I get them installed. I’m 5’7” with a short inseam skin share in the struggle. Any specific pics you want to see?
Cardo freecom 4+ With JBL speakers mounted inside Shoei RF-1200. Great setup. Hands free voice control. Nav, phone, music, coms. Great little device. Able to send and receive phone calls at highway speeds.
What are you guys wearing? Currently using general use mechanix gloves but considering moving up to something with a little more protection. Looking for a warm weather glove so leather is fine but needs to be perforated.
Update… I was able to reverse bleed the master cylinder and get the bike back on the road. She is shifting smoothly and running well. I took the advise and back flushed the cable without the master attached. I also cleaned out the master. Thanks for all the help!!
Parminio- could I have a bad/blocked bleed screw on my clutch? I’m able to bleed it the traditional way, but it will not accept a reverse bleed. I was able to do the reverse method for the front and the rear brakes so I understand the procedure. Unless I’m doing something stupid. I’m using a...
Thank you! This is my first vmax. Hard to tell what is considered “normal”. Hopefully get it out on the road this evening and try it out. Ohio weather has not been the greatest.
When you swapped the clutch master did your engagement point for the clutch change from stock? I swapped with the eBay 5/8 bore master and it went from the end of the lever throw to right off my grip. Just wondered if you experienced similar?
Yes. Most are aware of the search feature. Not sure if you intend to sound condescending or if it’s just your approach. I replied to patate657 for his first hand experience with the product.
Thanks
I know it’s a long shot. Anyone in the northwest Ohio/northeast Indiana region have an exhaust for sale? I currently have stock headers with supertrapp slip-ons. Looking to buy or trade with me adding cash for a nice set. Pic of my bike with exhaust is attached.
