Anybody in the Phoenix AZ area good with the hydraulic clutch on the vmax? I’ve done every possible thing I can imagine to this damn clutch and it still will not bleed fluid out. I’m done messing with it. I’ve spent too much money and time on it so I need an expert to figure it out. I originally...

Looking for a 1st gen faux tank cover in GLOSS BLACK! Must be in great condition, no dents, dings or major scratches! :punk:

Hello all, this is one of my first posts and i'm hoping to get some much needed help. So I have a recently new to me 1998 vmax 1200 with 17000 miles on it. Soon after I bought it i noticed the clutch was slipping slightly when i gave it more than half throttle. So i rode it as it was for a day...

Anyone know of a really good technician or shop that really knows the 1st Gen VMax's? If so, please post name/contact info. Just looking for someone who is close by that can help in the event I run into a problem potentially over my ability to fix. Thanks!

Hi... I recently purchased a 2005 Max, its the bike I've always wanted but never owned. I call it my bucket bike, I bought it from the original owner, he got it to ride with his son but now his son is into rock crawlers so the bike was garaged for the last 3 years. It's only been down once when...

Two robbers walk into a cop bar... https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/7746fdd5-15d9-3d76-b27c-755030cf0420/ss_no-joke%3A-robbers-walk-into-a.html I guess we should be happy they're so-stupid, it keeps them off the street.

My 2000 is running badly, carb issues i think. I saw that sometimes the carbs don't seat in the boots properly and you get a vacuum leak. Put a hose on a propane torch to get the gas near the boots to see if the idle changed. It seem to change but fluctuating idle is part of my symptoms. So i...

97 Vmax 24k : the bike came with and still has a used up 1st gen Corbin seat. Well the seats had it the cushion and skin is worn with some tears. So Ive decided to either rebuild or replace with a original Vmax seat via ebay. Im 270lb and when i see the original vmax seats i think great for a...

Anyone find a HID headlamp conversion kit that fits without moding or very little modding on a 97 vmax ? I tried one from my vtx 1300 as they use the same h4 9003 lamp but the lamp legs are to wide to get the yamaha metal ring to fasten. If I wanted to i could order a similar kit and dremel it...

I wouldst mind hearing any input on a jacket. this is the first one im buying and i would like it to be a nice one that will hold up over time and I can use most of the year. currently im looking at the Cortech GX Sport Air 3...

The moon and the stars must aligned last night because this morning I took my Vmax out for the first ride since I bought it in April. No pictures or video today I just needed to get the feel of the bike and get use to riding a Vmax Gen 2 for the first time ever. It rides nice and smooth a bit...

OK guys,, After changing out my clutch master cylinder (MC), everything seems to be working great. So I changed out my brake MC also, (wanted it to look and repond as a new unit should). I figured, why take a chance with these items. The Previous Owner (PO), looks like he had a hard on, for the...

Let me know before I post on Ebay...Best offer + shipping or trade for a good used 1st gen backrest...Key Code: C58547 7X15. Paypal. Thank you for looking...Tony

It came off of my 93 so I assume it will fit any 1st gen. It doesnt really block much wind but it looks cool. How about $80 shipped or $60 pickup around canton ohio area

Long story short, I made a few mistakes while putting in a new clutch (with DD mod) and upgrading the shift segment. The first mistake was I forgot to push the shift rod all the way to the left before tightening the nut on the shifter. I went for a test ride, shifted to 2nd, then shifted...

The weather finally warmed up nicely and all the snow is gone. It was a nice 74 degrees today, so I figured I would see how all my winter modifications worked.I had installed Shinko tires, redone the fork seals & oil. 15weight oil with 4lbs of Air. Then I put the frame braces on just because...

So I"m riding along in 5th gear for 3 miles and when I come to a red light I cannot downshift at all. Roll to a stop and shifter wont move. I take the linkage off and try to move with pliers and just a little but didn't really feel anything move. Put the linkage back on and start to take off in...

I have one mentally twisted.:bang head: Looking for a replacement.
