    Cam swap

    Shawn~ Do you have a dyno graph of that combination? I'd like to see how the curve lays out for those cams. Thanks! :)

    new cams

    The broken cam may be a bit more difficult to mount in the machine in it's raw, broken form due to it being shorter than a unbroken unit, (the Cam Doctor has it's length limits) but I could probably machine the broken end flat, than a custom fixture could be fabbed to allow the cam stub to roll...

    new cams

    No one likes a smart-ass and since you're Mr. Leave-It-All-Stock anyway, why do you even care? Tool.... :icon_rolleyes: To others interested~ All the details of my endeavor in this is already posted in my last posts/threads on the subject and can easily be found with a search. I have already...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    There's a chrome one??? Dang....I didn't know that and I want that one instead!! Any links to it? EDIT: Nevermind...I found it. MSD doesn't make a chrome shift light, Raptor does. Thx!

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    Here is my MSD Shift Light installed on my bike. (photos below) I chose the MSD Light not just for a cheap prices, but because it had the many features I wanted and it was produced by a well-known supplier that's been around for decades. It's a very low profile design and fits snugly to the...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    It is compatible- I'm already using it on my bike. ;) It has instructions with it that tells you how to configure it's trigger when used with either a spark plug wire, coil trigger, magnetic trigger, Hall Effect trigger or whatever. It does not care where the signal comes from or how, just as...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    That is the *exact* same shift light I use on my bike and set my shift point to occur 125 RPM before the 9500 RPM reline of the engine, so it would give me a little buffer time to actually make the shift. In fact, here's the model I use and it's configurable to many different ignition systems...

    Not sure if anyone has posted, New Vmax

    Thanks for the link and I don't care what all the naysayers think or say about this-or-that; as that is one bad-ass motorcycle...PERIOD! Superb engineering Yamaha!

    Drag slicks

    OK... Here's the information I received from Phoenix, via Coker Tire- who is a major distributor for the Phoenix brand of racing slick. They were *VERY* helpful in providing me the info I needed without any sales pressure. They have excellent service! If you call there, ask for Carol and she...

    Drag slicks

    Just when I think you couldn't possibly be a bigger ass than you've been in some of these posts...you prove me wrong and raise the bar for yourself once again- you should be proud of yourself nice touch...:icon_rolleyes: Now you state that you're running a 25 AND 26 /6/15 tire...

    Drag slicks

    The cross-section width is the widest area of the tire when it's under bulge from the weight of the vehicle, at the correct operating pressure. The contact patch or "foot-print" is the actual area of the tire that is in contact with the pavement. To put it into perspective~ A typical soft...

    Drag slicks

    I'm not confused about anything regarding the different tire sizes...that's not the issue. I was merely asking you to clarify what tire you were actually using based on your posts, because in your post #2 in thie thread, you directly stated that you were using a 25/6/15, but in your later post...

    Drag slicks

    You just have the tire Sean once I get it de-mounted and maybe we can trade for something I might need from you later on if that works ok for you. :)

    Drag slicks

    It's funny you should suggest that Firestone tire, because I was just looking at the Phoenix brand of drag slick the other day (formerly Firestone) and I did see that specific tire you mentioned here. I dismissed it, since I saw Yankee using another type that worked out well for him, (bigger)...

    Drag slicks

    Nevermind.... I figured it out. The tire you linked is the right one and mine wasn't, as I see the cross-section width of my tire is wayyy too wide at 10.0" and the one you linked is 8.5". I understand now. :)

    Drag slicks

    The spare wheel I have here is a stock unit from a 2005 VMAX, so was going to mount a slick to it and swap back-and-forth to go racing. I don't want to tear up my expensive street tire and I'll haul it to the track in my truck. The tire link you sent confuses me? :confused2:In your first...

    Canadians get screwed by Yamaha

    RJ~ The dealer I'm working with has purchased 2 bikes for their inventory, with one of them being mine if I want it. As far as I know, (just spoke to them Thursday) the second isn't spoken for yet and is still available. I'm sure they'd take your order quickly if you want to secure one for...

    Drag slicks

    Based on your information, it sounds like I need to use a tube, I'll need another swingarm to modify so I can keep my original one and I'll need that slick I posted the link to, so that I can do all of this right. I measured the stock tire height and it measures approx. 25" tall and the slick...
