Last year when I did my valve cover gaskets I replaced the O rings between the V Boost intakes and the head. I basically matched what I thought were the correct size o rings but now I see the #1 cylinder has a leak that's running down the cylinder and onto the crank case and think maybe it's the...

It front end dives pretty easily under hard braking, that's what makes me think they need some air. Stock springs I think. Should I recheck the oil level? Could that affect the "diving?"

'93 stock Max. How are you guys doing this? I have a bicycle tire pump with a gauge but don't seem to be able to get enough air in them. It either puts too much pressure or I go too soft and it doesn't get enough. I did the seals/fluid last year and still can't get the pressure right. Thoughts?

So suddenly I don't feel as bad as I did a few dayas ago posting this. Besides, what I did to get the manual was legit. Sending you to the link that I git from is legit too. I shared a piece of info with my friends. From what I see this IS the 405 page official Yamaha service manual. Has...

Can I delete a post?

After reading some of your posts on ethics, does anyone think what I'm doing is unethical? If so let me know.

I downloaded a PDF of the factory service manual with supplements for all the models and their Cal extensions. I traded a XS11 manual for it. It's too big to upload to the forum site so I'm willing to share my find with all but don't know how. The only suggestion I have to transfer large files...

They sell no-E "Clear 92"all over where I live and the main advantage, as told to me by the people at the station that sell it, is that ethanol attracts moisture and clear doesn't. They have many pictures of fuel pumps and fuel components that are tore up by ethanol fuel. Last year I filled all...

Hey Shawn and welcome. Lots of good stuff here. Brother had a Yamaha shop in the mid 80's and when the Vmax came out wer we were all blown away. Always wanted one but after the shop was sold, Max left my life until 3 months ago when I finally said enough is enough and found one on Craigslist...

Purchased 8/11....1993... All stock with easy off shorty windshield...needed fork seals and valve cover gaskets....$3500...Southern Oregon.

How many things do you have connected direct to your battery? As of now I have the reg. terms, the r/r fix, my battery tender jr and now I connect my gps charger? That's alot isn't it? Any problems with all those connections direct? Guess I gotta get longer terminal bolts.

There is a transformer inline in the wiring they supply, no fuse though. Should I splice a fuse in? I thought I need to wire it in somewhere that's switched so not to drain the battery? BTW, here's the link for the mount in caes anyone is looking for one. Under $25 for a mount and the...

Thanks Garrett. I didn't think so. Any thoughts on the GPS wiring?

I just got a GPS handlebar mount and it came with a charger I can wire into my system. Where is the best place to wire this into? Ignition switch would make the most sense but I don't have that much experience with electrical. Any help would be great. Also, I got a Battery Tender Jr and wired...

I'm near Medford/Ashland, Oregon. Any Vmaxer's near here? Lot's of Harley's around. I've seen 1 Max about a month and a half ago, never to be seen again.

How much for the calipers?

http://www.partshark.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=676403&category=motorcycles&make=YAMAHA&year=1993&fveh=17997 Looks like this is the place for seals. I went to a local guy and they wanted $114 for the 2 sides PLUS shipping just for the seals. Like $300+ for the pistons. Outrageous...

Has anyone ever installed a voltage idiot light? It would be perfect in the spare spot in the cluster but how/where to wire it?

Battery Tender Jr. The other thing is I see some of you use a charger when your bike is not in use. With winter setting in here in S. Oregon I will not be riding as much so I am considereing this charger. Looks like it comes with all the connectors to make it easy. Anything I shopuld know...

OK men, here's the results. I did the second fix from Dman. First I charged the battery since it was low and hadn't been running for about a week and was reading 12.6. Then I started the fix. Ran the tests replaced both the red R/R wire and the black ground and eliminated the connector fro the...
