85

This is not my ad and I don't know this guy. I really want to respond to it just to let him know how ridiculous his asking price is. Probably wouldn't do any good, though. I've ran into plenty just like him in other markets. According to the ad, he seems to think NADA quotes the value of the...

https://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1985-yamaha-vmax-1200cc-1000/6268174583.html That's been on the local CL for a couple months now with the price steadily trickling down, started at like $2k. I'm sure you could probably buy this thing for around $700. I'm guessing the owner's "murdered...

Started hearing a metallic rubbing sound from engine. Like something rubbing against a case cover or ?. Thought it may be the water pump but the noise is coming from the other side. Does not knock when started but after running a few minutes starts low and gets louder as it runs. If I blip the...

I have an 85 vmax I've been working on. I ran into a problem with coolant leaking from the oil breather cover/housing between the cylinders. I know there is a at least 1 rubber seal that I'm may need to replace but is there another seal or gasket for the covwr/housing spacer to the block?

Thinking I might sell the 85. My lady is strongly suggesting I don't need two vmax's. Part of me says "what does she know?" And part says "she's probably right" so I'll take offers on the 85. It does have a second gear issue. Slips out around 6500 rpm. Feels like a brief loss of traction then...

Finished up my 85' to get it to look how I wanted and I think it is time for a new project! LOL... I have all the original parts as well. What do you think it is worth? 29k miles. Runs amazing. Tires are BRAND new (50 miles?), new battery, new filter and carbs just cleaned up.

Hi All - Trying to get my '85 Vmax running after 4 years off the road. I had the carbs rebuilt. Gas tank has been removed and POR-15 treated. New gas filter. Fuel pump disassembled and cleaned. Pump spins up with no problem. At first bike would start but needed to have choke on to stay running...

Just wanted to share the old lady's pictures... Runs like a dream!!!

If ya need a set, you can get these for the cost of shipping. They're original to the 85, not pretty, but they'll clean up ok. Lotsa miles on them, too. I've got a set of the rear pegs for the 85, too. They will come with the shocks, again free.

Too many bikes and projects forces me to part out the Cornell built 85 I bought recently. MANY nice parts. Most in excellent/VG Condition. Some of the Parts: 18" Ego Trip rear and matching front wheels. Excellent Condition $1275 Full Kerker Exhaust with 2 baffles. Very Good Condition (no...

1985 Vmax, 43,773 miles, hasn't run last two years due to a charging problem I didn't fix. Also has problem with 2nd gear sometimes popping out when leaning on the throttle. Has good front tire, very good rear tire, customized seat and a variety of parts that come with bike - stock exhaust, set...

Hello everyone, I haven't rebuilt the carbs on my 85 for ... I'm guessing 8 years. Bike has been so good to me I haven't had to do much of anything. However, it's now showing signs of fuel varnish as I haven't been able to ride it enough. Rather than the shotgun fix, I figured I'd tear...

I posted this on the "Introduce yourself" sticky but wasnt sure how much traffic that gets. My apology for redundancy. Hello all, Years ago I bought an '85 VMAX. Loved it, rode it, modified it, and replaced tires often. Being young and had more money than I knew what to do with it all, I...

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/6004640381.html Nice mods on this bike....

My new (to me) '85 showed up this morning. One owner, original & unrestored, 4800 miles, matching numbers, excellent condition. I felt kind of bad dragging her out in a snowstorm for a photo-op....after ripping her from her nice warm California garage and truckin' her across the...

I have a 1985 Vmax that I want to sell. I rode it for three years but it has been sitting the last two summers in my basement due to an electrical/charging problem I didn't have time to fix and it is presently not running. Anyone have a general idea of its value as it is? Thx.

Fresh chromed scoops and 1985 side covers have not been on a bike since being done. $ 400 firm plus paypal fees and shipping for the scoops and $ 300 plus paypal and shipping for the side covers.

Can't seem to find an answer to this, but is there any functional difference in the factory front wheels? I like the way the 85's look, but I wouldn't want one if it is heavier or weaker.

I just purchased an 85. I got a good deal, and now I must deal with a few issues that I could use some help on. 1. The Bike will start with full choke on and stay running after running for 10 or 15 minutes it will idle without the choke but dies when you give it any throttle...

Not mine, just saw it on Craigslist. $1,800. http://muskegon.craigslist.org/mcy/5708225120.html
