Hi guy n gals, The header says it all, the UK is switching to E10 petrol to reduce CO2 emissions. E5 (super unleaded) will still be available at larger petrol stations, but E10 will become the standard unleaded fuel. The gov.uk website E10 checker says all Yamaha bikes manufactured on or after...

If you could have a check out the forks, that would be awesome. We have ice here at the mo, so my VMAX is in he garage until it thaws out a bit, so no urgency, and I’ll have a better idea of the condition of my forks after another winter once I’ve taken her out and given her first clean and...

Thanks all. At the moment the pitting is more cosmetic than shortening the life of the seals, which I replace annually prior to MoT, possibly quite unnecessarily, but always have done as a matter of course. I will definitely explore the more plausible options. Ride safe

Just the initial priming on my ‘88 V-MAX, and then all good. V-Boost, that’s another story entirely, but I won’t hijack your thread! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Evening all :) My speedometer stopped working and it transpires it's not the clock or the cable, it's the assembly in the front wheel that needs replacing - my mate had a similar problem with his few years back. We're both based in the UK and mate never sourced a replacement, the only other...

Hi all, I have an '89 V-MAX and in the last 6 months the VBoost check when turning the ignition on has become intermittent... There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason; initially it appeared to be linked to ambient temperature i.e. if it was a hot day it went through the self diagnostic...
