    Odd engine rythm when not on the gas

    Cairns Yamaha suck and their mechanics know sfa about Vmaxes.I had the hole punched in the exhaust when I first got it and then I drilled holes to make it louder.Brett does a good job on all the vmaxes in town and it would be better to get the carbs pulled apart and cleaned.Brett is a...

    Is Max dangerous

    Greetings Michael since you are in Ireland and if you really want to you can get a Diversion rear wheel second hand and an adaptor axle/spindle from Clink or clunk from Vmaxchat.I use them on my Max and even with the stock front wheel I prefer the stickier rear tyres you can use.And you can use...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    He was pretty fit and I REALLY DIDN'T SEE HIM UNTIL I BUSTED HIM checking out my bank account and then he got really depressed and started overeating to compensate.So I had to buy some 2nd hand rear shocks to make him feel wanted.And then an Irate customs radiator mysteriously turned up at my...

    Yamaha Accessory Performance Exhaust

    Actually if they are the Over Racing ones then they are Japanese and are of a very high quality and Over Racing carry a lot of parts for the vmax .But they are very expensive and $650 for a set is cheap IMHO .ACTUALLY JUST GREEN WITH ENVY.Cheers Kevman.

    My wrecked Max *SOB*

    Greetings Shane I have been down that road literally and I hope you have a full recovery.What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and your bike will be back on the road bigger and better than ever.I'm sure the mod monkey is already planning your rebuild.Cheers Kevman.

    bike shuts off on take off and everything shuts off

    Awhile back I fitted the switch gear off a TRX 850 and it was a very simple change over and it gives you high beam pass switch as well.Even the connectors were the same but I did have to change the wiring but I can't remember just what I did.:ummm:Kevman.

    knock-off custom lever

    Yes change the masters .I use a cbr900r front brake and I had a FZR clutch which I changed to an aftermarket one because I wanted the remote reservoir to match the front brake.Cheers Kevman.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I received a genuine vmax back rest off Oz Ebay for $255 a couple of days ago and I fitted it today .Had a few small problems but nothing a hacksaw couldn't solve .And I have decided to modify the rear seat so that it will hinge and have a larger area to stick stuff in.And somehow make it lock...

    Little bunny

    Hit a dog at 15kph and fell over and my glasses flew somewhere and took 10 minutes to find them.And last year I got hit in the helmet by a mango and 2 seconds later almost collected a flying fox [fruit bat] in the visor.Scared the *(+$$#% out of me.And sad to say I was sort of chasing a loon and...

    Never judge a book by its cover

    I change my spark plugs fairly regularly and my plugs always look like they have rusted in place.The first time I changed them I thought I would spray them with CRC to make it easier to get them out.But it wasn't needed and I do put a little bit of anti-seize on the threads just toCheers Kevman...

    XJR rear shocks.

    Ok I have a pair of rear shocks off a xjr 1200 and I want to fit them to my Vmax.So has anyone done this?And if you have how did you do it? I'm thinking push out the old rubber mounts and machining some polyurethane bushes to suit with steel sleeves in the middle.Is this a viable option or is...

    HOW TO: rebuild your starter motor (and eliminate Hot Starting problems)

    When you are assembling the starter you can put the brushes in after you put the brushbox in place.You can pull the spring back and then slide the brush into place and then screw the brush lead in place.And you should have a look at the positive cable mounting bolt as sometimes they need to be...
