Hello I am happy and sad to write today Nearly three months ago I was riding my 1985 Vmax to work I was getting ready to join a major highway when I was hit by a car coming on my right. I have no real memory of the accident, so much of what I can tell you has been from the police and...

Just replaced mine Someone had been into mine before as well and tried to unscrew the stator bolts and broke one I ended up having to replace the housing Now my bikes great no more problems with hot or cold starts good luck

Okay I am first sorry to ask about this elctrical problem when its been on the forum before but I cannot find the post My 1985 vmax stopped going home at night last week and had nearly no power in the battery I was able to start it with jump leads and slowly get to the yamaha bike shop with...

In the next month I want to do the following three tings to my 85vmax 1; Replace all the water hoses with silicone hoses. I see some cheap Chinese ones and was wondering if they were any good or if someone has used them and they are ok or rubbish? 2;my bike has a little tappet noise on the...

last night I pulled the airbox off. The hose was actually on the opposite side of the connecting bracket for the two rear carbys. I suspect that the carbs were removed at one stage and when replaced they didnt put the breather hose back on . I was able to slip it through the other side of the...

Okay! I will have a look tonight and see if I can find out where it goes onto the airbox and reconect it. My bike has only done 8,000 miles but its an 1985 Its the first time I have noticed and smoke so it was a big worry when I saw it first:bang head:

I started this thread on another forum but I wanted to change to here to get your ideas and suggestions I went for a bike ride the other morning and everything was great When I was nearly home and sitting at the lights smoke came from under the airfilter cover Last night I had time to strip...

Does it sound more a fuel problem than electrical?

I have to check the float levels in the next few weeks but I have this feeling that the problem is electrical. I can be sitting at the lights and suddenly I feel the motor miss or pop then it idels fine again When it is reving I dont feel a miss at all. While I know I should adjust the...

Welcome to the forum. Great people who have helped me in every question I have asked. Only people here that really care and will help you.

I took the wheel of last night and it all appears to be okay with the bearing , no binding or stiffness which is good but I may change the bearing anyway. I spoke to the previous owner and he has no memory if it was changed or not. He use to just take it to the dealer and let them do what...

Hi Garrett I think you are right ! I think they simply got the air gun did it up tight and took my money It was a good lesson for me. I actually thought about pulling the wheel of myself and getting the tire fitted but it was no difference in cost so I just took it to them. I will do as much...

Thanks Sean. You have always been supportive of me and my questions. Your advice was great when I was working on it. Next is the frount brake callipers and to tighten the steering head bolts. I just watched your video and will do that on the weekend Then I will tackle the float levels.
