thank you Sean, The reason I asked is because there is this local kawasaki shop nearby that sells one for ninja 650 (2 cyl) for about $60. and they also have the ninja zx6r (4 cyl) for a lot more $110. they currently dont have one in stock for larger bikes zx10r or zx14. and I couldnt find...

Hi I read somewhere that all R/R are the same. We can use any that sort of fits. But is it ok to use one from smaller engine say for example from an R6 or Ninja 6R? Or does it have to be coming from the approximately the same engine size with Vmax? Thanks. Regards,

ok.. the next newbie question is: instead of replacing pair. is it ok just to replace 1?

Thank you maleko89, yeah I think the temp on the manual is 20 degrees C. It was about 26 here I think. Thanks again

hi, My rear ignition coils resistance are 3.5 and 3.6 ohm. the manual says it is supposed to be 2.7 +/- 10%. I have no idea if that is bad, ok, or good. Is that ok? should I be worried.? oh btw, the resistance on the secondary are according to spec at 13k ohm. Thanks regards,

what do you mean? that hot start fix posting doesnt mention anything about fixing the starter. I thought it's all about wiring.

Hi, If only one of the coil is bad, can we just replace that one (or two) coil with COP or do we have to replace all four of them at once? Thanks, Regards,

Thank you for the answers... It's just that the manual caution to avoid connecting R/R directly without explaining Why ... Regards,

Hi guys, need advice from vmax gurus here. One of the suggestion in fixing the hotstart or low voltage problem from this post http://vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=19108 is to connect the R/R positive directly to battery with a new bigger cable. But when I was reading the service manual...

Hi guys, I took a look at the paperwork. In my country here in Asia, vmax is not a model that was sold by yamaha here. So it was individually bought/imported (could be new or used) from other country. The paperwork does say the VIN was the same 5 digit numbers like on the frame. I tried the...

Am I looking at the wrong spot? How come you guys can get a lot better angle ? As far as I can remember it was pretty hard to get a good pic because of the frame or something blocking the view. If I'm looking at the right spot, what does that strange looking number tell us then if it doesn't...

I managed to get a good look at the engine number. Unless I've been looking at wrong number, it was: 1 4 1 4 0 10 7 But, the second digit, the '4' is written sideways, rotated 90 degrees ???? Is this how an engine number supposed to look like? Does anyone knows what these numbers tell us?

Whoa... you guys really knows your stuff.. Very impressive Mr Morley.. Thank you, Anyway, so I went to take another look and took a couple more pictures. Unfortunately I still can't make out the engine number, I thought I did get it (it was dark). I'm going to have to go back in daylight...

Ok Thanks guys... If the frame had been replaced then other parts may have been replaced too, right? How about engine identification number. Would it tell me anything? I could see the engine number but I didn't write it down. Does the engine number tell me what year and what type of...

Hi, I came across a nice Gen 1 vmax, but seems like it's been somehow modified and repainted. Strangely enough I can't find the VIN on the steering column as usual. there are only 5 digits numbers engraved on the column but it is no VIN. Seems like the cover and fender has been repainted...

It'd be great if someone can posts some pictures for RaWarrior's Step 3 and Step 4 instructions.. We would be really grateful. I know RaWarrior took time to make these instructions easy and fool proof. But still I'm a little lost. I'm neither a mechanic or technician who's comfortable doing...
