    Must’ve missed something

    Item #15 is the oil seal. Readily available on-line. https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/1995/v-max-1200-vmx12g/rear-wheel Partzilla has many original yamaha Vmax parts available in case it is another part.

    Must’ve missed something

    Looks like axle is in too far and the gap between swing arm and rotor bracket is too large. The washer normally goes on the outside of bracket unless you run a 180 tire, then some run the washer on the inside to allow clearance. Possibly the rotor bracket not slid on axle correctly? See photo...

    2nd gen fork seals ,

    I did my left one just a couple months ago. Not sure why it failed its a 2018 with less than 5000 miles. Either way, as stated above, the Service Manual is your friend. It gives the disassmbly instructions, torque specs, fluid levels, and special tools. The seal driver is a 52mm, I bought OEM...

    Gen2 turn signals

    See if these help. There is a pinch bolt and a mounting bolt by the steering stop. The wires are tucked under and routed behind the headlight. Small 3 pin connector.

    Headlight and cowl for the gen II

    That setup above looks nice, but if you're looking for something that is an easy bolt on, take a look at the one made by Magic Racing in Japan. It is 6 bolts, washers and nuts and full carbon. Very light. Here is a link to Webike that sell it. https://japan.webike.net/products/9690574.html...

    2nd Generation Fork Seal Driver

    After looking at several post on Gen 2 front fork seals, I thought I would share my experience. I have a 2018 with only 4000 miles. It was leaking on left front, not sure why, no wheelies, always garage kept, so I tried the seal saver option. It might have improved a bit, but not enough to...

    Windscreen Installed

    Just received and installed a new windscreen from Magical Racing in Japan. I really like the carbon accent. I think it goes well with the black on black ones. (2018) Since the Boulevard one is so hard to find, I thought I would give this one a try. Had to wait about three months due to...

    Gen 2 questions.

    This might help on the other part of your question.. (ie block off plates) Best I understand is... On the Gen 2 it has an Air Induction System. The valve and solenoid is located in the left scoop. Tim Nash (Gurued Gear), has an option when you purchase the flash under AIS option. Closed or...

    Popping thru exhaust.

    I would second this opinion. Changing plugs fixed mine from pretty blue flames out the rh exaust. Fuel not getting burned in chamber and re-igniting in pipes.

    Post in thread 'Bad Rectifier/Regulator?' Bad Rectifier/Regulator? Here is a thread I posted a few years back. I made an aluminum plate and mounted under left foot peg.

    Do the Double D clutch spring mod. Nash can fix you up with the kit for that too. Easy install. Several vids or pictures on here to show you.

    Parts Wanted Cat Delete

    Here are a couple pics. I like the original look and this mid pipe allows keeping the original mufflers and shields. The shields have to be trimed slightly on the ends to fit, but the mid pipe comes with great instructions and templates for that part. Also a short clip if the sound with mid...

    Parts Wanted Cat Delete

    I was very pleased with the Starrider pipe. It comes in black ceramic coated. Looks great on the matte black yrs. Mine is a 2018.

    Finally made it to the local racetrack.

    Friday Fun and Grudge here at Thunder Valley. After completing a few Mods to my Gen 2, finally got back to the track to measure improvements. Gotta say I am pleased. (Improvement of .6 in the 1/4 mile from stock). I am sure others have better times, but it was all about having fun with my son...

    CAT delete and more

    Agreed, I did the DD clutch MOD earlier on. I heard about the clutch slipping issue after HP increase. Tim Nash @ GuruedGear has a nice kit and easy to install.

    CAT delete and more

    Finally took the time and got all the pieces gathered to do some mods to my 2018 Gen 2. It was completely stock with 3475 miles. Did the MAB (modified air box) with KN filter. Did a CAT delete with a Star Rider Stealth Cat Elimator (Black Ceramic), and a reflash of ECU from Gurued Gear to match...
