    Rubber Cover Upper Front

    Just checked part #18 and I do have that on my bike already. I was referring to another protective rubber cover that goes directly over the heads. I'm gonna find the picture and try to post it

    Rubber Cover Upper Front

    Well in your opinion Sean, would it be of any significant benefit for me to have this on my bike prior to installing the new Ignatech ignition unit when I get it in from Ya? I know I've read of the factory units overheating so I'm just curious. Thanks

    Rubber Cover Upper Front

    I know this is a bit of an older thread but I was looking at the cop how to guide when I ran across the rubber heat shields in the pics. My 85 has none so I decided to see if I could find some to order. I swear I've been through the parts diagram twice for an 85 model and just don't see them...

    Help. Diagnosing problem carb? Plug?

    Did yo ever get Ya problem sorted out? I had a similar issue with one of my cylinders on the left side of my bike not firing at idle and it turned out to be an electrical issue. Mine is a 85 and 2 out of the three wires coming off of the stator were broken in half. I know that may sound off the...

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    I'll have the email to Ya by morning. Thanks again Sean. The guy from Centroid who emailed me back gave me some details for the bendable sender so I'll include that in the email also. And as always, much appreciated!

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    Do you know if Ya Koso knockoff is also a 0-510 ohm or 0-100 ohm model for the fuel gauge wiring part of it? I will be placing an order tomorrow for a bendable 12" 2 wire. I think Sean made mention that he may be a dealer for the sending units or I may have misunderstood, but I'm gonna give him...

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    I looked at both models (2 wire and 3 wire) and the only difference seems to be that the 3 wire model requires switched power. I'm sure there is a reason behind that, but I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone over at Centroid Products and Sean's busy right now and i can't leave a # for...

    !!!Working fuel gauge, FOR REAL this time!!!

    What length flexible sending unit should I order from Centroid for the VMax tank? It is the three wire version that you used correct? I have a KOSO RX-2N Speedo that already has the fuel gauge built into it so all I had to do is order a Fuel Gauge Wizard 500 to put in line between the speedo...

    aluminum radiator

    I can vouch for one of those Fleabay radiators you were inquiring about. Seem put together well enough, but I had to break out the dremel and do a little grinding of tabs to make it work. I also had to bend the tabs that the mounting bolts go through. Factory mounting bolts are just a tad short...

    Water Pump Questions

    Well I got the temp gauge working finally. It wasn't the sensor as I thought as it tested fine. I actually had to remove the two bolts that secure the water manifold to the frame and clean the threads on the two bolts to get a proper ground between the frame and the water manifold. Simple fix to...

    Water Pump Questions

    I already grounded out the gauge and it sweeps all of the way to H. So I'm good there. I do appreciate the info though especially on how long it will take to get up to operating temperature with the thermostat and the info on the ohm readings. I can't wait to get home and test these out. Glad to...

    Water Pump Questions

    Actually the needle doesn't seem to move off of cold. It has moved up to the cold mark on the bottom of the gauge. That's about it. Got to get back to work. Will check back in a hour or so. Thanks

    Water Pump Questions

    I did a search and a lot of reading and I'm about at my wits end. Here's the situation: I have very little IF any movement on my temperature gauge. Here's what I have done so far as far as trouble shooting. 1) Replaced the thermostat. 2) Replaced part of the grounding wire and reconnected it to...

    brake upgrade

    I don't know what year Ya bike is but I got a 85 w buss brakes all around. I just can't remember if I used a right front or left for the rear brakes with the factory master cylinder that came with the bike. Either way, tremendous improvement over stock and the rotors ran me less than $ 225 fOr...

    Protective Rubber grommets for brake lines

    Maleko, I got a rear brake line of of flebay coming in with the rubber grommetts on it, but I still don't know how to get the ones for the front forks. Would you have any of those? Thanks

    Protective Rubber grommets for brake lines

    I've looked over parts diagrams for variuos model VMaxs (including mine, 1985) and can't seem to find the part number for the rubber grommets that protect the brake lines from rubbing on the forks. Anyone know where I can get some of these? Mine have pretty much seen their better days. I did...

    Busa Brake Conversion Completed

    The speedo is a KOSO model RX-2N. Right now I have the normal stuff hooked up (turn signals, neutral indicator, high beam, oil) but I still have to hook up the water sensor and I haven't done that yet as my temp guage is acting a little screwy right now (I have to put a new ground connection on...

    Busa Brake Conversion Completed

    Just wanted to throw up a few pics of my finished Busa brake conversion. Front rotors and caliper install went well. The back one took a little extra work, but even then it wasn't all that bad. Actually it would have went a bit easier if I had looked at the pic Sean sent me (found it after I had...
