Meh.........

Who else still has their original Yamaha owners ID card?

Just installed the Raptor shift light! Rick at Raptor Performance was great to deal with. And the light? Very nice! Set it for 9200 and just got back from an afternoon ride, plenty bright to see in bright sunlight. From what I can see it comes on right when my tach is smack on between 9000 and...

Ya, I wish I would have kept the H2... In stock trim it was a real handful and had the death wobble even in a straight line WOT at 90 and above. Replacing the nylon swing arm bushings with bronze bushings and a pair of Koni's solved that. I road with High school friends (still do) and I can say...

Scottish? English? I'm half Czech and half English. So this is funny! I loved the description which is why I posted it. My first bike was a 1972 H2. A year after I bought it I went with the Bill Wirges 100 HP kit. Chambers, reed valves, 36mm Mikuni's, Koni shocks, dual front brakes (really...

Funniest one I've read!:rofl_200: The Yamaha VMX1200 V-Max handles like a drunk office girl on a photocopier...and is just as dangerous. The frame seems to flex, the back end squirms under the engine's power and the front end loads up with the Yamaha VMX1200 V-Max's substantial 280kgs wet...

Alright, bought my Max new in 85 #1193 still have my original Yamaha registration card. 24K New paint, GAZI shocks, Max Gasser seat, LED Headlight, Cat eye rear light, Busa Brakes, jet kit, Supertrapps, air box work and dyno'ed at 124 by RPM Performance in Clackamas Oregon.

For those interested, here are a couple shots of the LED beam, the first is low and the second is high. A lot of hills around my place and it was 105 today and still 90 at 10pm, so rather than search out the perfect place I took these with my phone coming up my driveway.

Hey Killjoy, I'll try to get out tonight and take some photos of the beams for you. On low it's pretty wide but the vertical cutoff is like it was cut with a knife.

It was tight but a definite fit in the stock bucket!:clapping:

Just swapped the headlight out for LED’s. I chose the GENSSI 5 3/4 Inch Round Projector LED Headlight DOT 80 Watt, link below. This light got good reviews and in anticipation of having to fab up a way to mount it the flat back panel on the light held on with four screws looked like an...

OK, so went for a 90 mile ride today with fellow Vmaxer and a couple other buds. The Max behaved beautifully, the starter never engaged when not called on. This was thru a couple burnout's and a few 125+ blasts. Damn these bikes are fun! So the last thing I did was to follow the hint by...

It's not the starter button, I'll stop posting and let yall know when I figure it out.

Sorry to have beatin a dead horse...:bang head:

I couple months ago I purchased a pair of “CNC Brake Clutch Levers For Yamaha V-Max VMAX” on ebay for my 85 Max. The brake lever was no problem, you do need to use the stock reducer bushing to install. The aluminum clutch lever comes with a .392 or 9.95mm diameter aluminum insert which has a...

I pulled it apart, found the connector just as described. It looked good so I pulled it apart and checked for continuity between red and brown while moving the cable all around. There was no short or interference. So cleaned up the contacts with contact cleaner real good and worked the...

Just got a message from Dannymax stating; there is a 3-prong connector red, brown and blue wires (I think). It is famous for shorting inside the plastic connector and creating this exact same symptom....I dealt with it on an '85 XJ700X Maxim....you could not see any problem with the...

OK, it's not the seat, just went ridin and the started engaged twice. It lets loose (disengages) on it's own whenever it decides to... Guess I have to start chasing wires...
