1989

Just picked up a basket case-ish 89 that's going to need a bunch of attention. Good price and I'm at a point in my life where this sort of project suits me. So I'm sure I'll be doing plenty of shopping and other homework. Looking forward to the journey.

Not mine, no one I know. https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/mcy/d/yamaha-vmax1200/6720823820.html I call "b.s.' on the "never laid-down" claim, look-at the right scoop and the front of the right exhaust canister. Doesn't look-like strawberry jelly to me, there. :rofl_200: Then-again, perhaps...

Hi: I need an 89 or so air box cover with readable emissions decal. Mine is fine, just no decals. I dont care, crushed, or what, I need the epa sticker. If someone has a good one, fine, I will pay what it takes, but the one I have is in good shape. I think any year from about 85 to mid 90's...

Hi guys: I just restored an 89 vmax, and took it to Ca DMV to get registered. I had to have the numbers verified, they were good. But there is supposed to be a sticker on it that shows something about whether it is a 49 or 50 state bike, and neither I nor the verifier could find one...

Hi guys, first post here. Here is the deal, I got a 89 that turned out to have motor siezed, and sat for long time. I cleaned carbs, got it running, and it had horrible noise in it, sort of like major piston slap. When I rode it, it was just too much noise louder on acceleration, same on...

Some of you know the extensive work that I did to this bike. Been running great for several years now. Too many Bikes to maintain and ride every week. Need opinions on the price and anything that I may add to make it more appealing. https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/6117528778.html...

I picked up an 89 last week for parts. It's missing. Front wheel,fender,rotors. Rear rotor is trashed in some mysterious fashion. Tank cover is a little banged up.I stole the v-boost controller, rear ring and pinion (replaced it with my functioning but stripped of its factory paint by po rear)...

Hello I have found lots of info on replacing and setting up the bearings here. But not any list of parts used. Not sure what comes in the packages. I have these Yamaha part #'s for an 1989. 93332-00001-00 and 93332-00008-00 Is this all I need to order? Am I missing anything else? After...

I did this write up so that if I ever need to do again, it’ll be available. My 1989 VMAX wouldn’t run anywhere near idle without choke starter. After several partial clean attempts, I gave up, totally removed carburetors, and rebuilt. This is a summary of parts of the rebuild that I hope...

Hello All, I am trying to finish up my project bike (see the last picture) and this one needs to go. Currently it spends 29 days of the month under a cover in a garage on a battery tender and has been this way for the past 1-2 years I am sad to say. The Basics - 32k miles - Clean Title -...

I'm looking at a 1989 with 3400 miles no mechanical issues but cosmetically has the oxidation under all the clear coat and on the engine it has a backrest,cowl and cobra exhaust. What do you guy's think is a fair price? Thanks

For those who missed it, I had posted this introduction in the new members area. I decided to start a thread to detail my experiences with restoring, riding, and/or racing the bike. Well, I just joined the site and figured it was a good time for an introduction. My name is Shane and I am...

Hi Everyone, Just bought my first vmax. Got a pretty good deal. Anyway the kid had put on a kerker exhaust and it is missing the baffle. I was wonder if anyone could tell me what size I would need to order based on these photos. thanks for any help

Im looking at picking up a 1989 but was wondering what's a good price for one. It has 20000 miles on it all stock. Is there any problems I need to know about?

My choke has no stop points for Full and Half choke. Spring loaded so I have to manually hold on the choke during cold start. Works well but have to stay with the Bike untill warms up enough to kill choke. Any Ideas. I do not have the correct manual that matches my carb setup.
