89

HI there, My 89' Vmax only has 20,000 miles on it and being a new owner I'm Just getting into fixing the leaks and squeeks before they become larger problems...

Hi guys It's time for my 89' to get its first oil change (by me), so I picked up an oil filter from the local Yam dealer, but he didn't have have the O-ring in stock. What size is that bloody thing? same as the filter 101mm?? and thickness? and is it round section?? Sorry if it's been posted...

Hi guys Time to introduce myself, Ive just purchased an 89 Vmax here in Oz, it's got 12 000 miles on the odo, black and beautiful. Of course it had had a few cosmetic mods along its life, like raised drag bars and turn signals which I don't mind. I'm coming from a Street triple R so it's a big...

1998 vmax replaced with 07. Another VMax , my 1998 Silver and Black, met with a little old lady making an illegal left hand turn and looking the other way, and panicking and stepping on the gas instead of the brake, the result was me leaping off to save my foot and ended up with my bike landing...

I've got so much of me into this bike, it's probably got more of my DNA on and in it than I have left.... Today was Dyno Day. First time since I bought the *****.:rofl_200: No stage 7 kit, Just Jetted, Stock Shimmed Needles and running a Stock Air Box. Kerker 4-1 with Mark's 12" Can, 2"ID. Best...

Will a 89 trans fit into a 92 case and work

Finally getting caught up after my short absence... I got the tank in my 89 run down to a little over 2 gallons. So , I dumped the 4 ounces of Start Your Engine in. Their minimum recommendation is 2 oz per gallon. Started the bike to let it warm up some while I finished getting ready for the...

Hi I did about 300km on the bike on Sunday and it was awesome, I washed it and parked it in the shed till this morning when I got it out to go to work. There was a faint backfire at low RPM but it went away once I was out of the driveway. I hit the highway and opened her up and that's when i...

I got down and looked the engine over trying to find any clues to explain why my 89 feels so much faster than my 94. Besides 60 to 70 more pounds of compression in the cylinders (220-230 lbs)... Found numbers on both engines, scribed in with a vibrating marker.:ummm: Near cylinder 1 and...

The boards pretty slow atleast while I'm posting this. I ordered another handlebar mount oil pressure gauge from COO, same one I ordered for the 94 last year. I didn't expect it would get shipped real fast but I see it went out today. Took about a week. No Biggy.. It's hard for Tom being a...

Had my max since 95. I was only going to touch up motor & frame (in frame). Six months & lots of $$$ later... here she is with all new paint, seals, kits, jets, hoses, well you get the idea. Redesigned the seat (cut out two inches of foam, added thin gel pad. Leather & ostrich.) I ran over my...

My 89 Again.... Neverending Terror Stories... If i were to let the bike set for any length of time, I'd expect the fuel level to drop in the carbs and the fuel pump would run for 5 seconds at "Key On". Then, I'd expect the pump to run at start up until the carbs filled up. If I shut the bike...

After getting stranded the other day, I decided that an Odyssey Battery was in order. Atleast it may start the bike in a desperate situation. I installed the battery directly from my 94. The battery read 12.88 and had been sitting without running for 24 or so hours. I ran the 89 and resync'd the...

I've ended up fighting a battle against this bike for every inch I've gained. I've spent the past few days cleaning up all of the work I've done, finalizing all the little projects. It's still got an oil leak that I never could get rid of. It drips onto the sidestand and down to the floor...

My 89 VMax. A Work In Progress or My Misadventures I put this here rather than in 4 separate threads in specific areas.. I started out the day by pulling the packing out of the Kerker Can, 4-1. This was a matter of removing 3 screws, pulling the end cap and core. Removing the packing from...

Hi I'm new here and a new owner of an 89 Vmax. It needs new rotors and I was hoping that somebody can tell me if rotors from my 02 R1 will fit? Some sites have the part numbers as the same others don't:confused2:. The reason I'm asking is the ones on the R1 are good and I was going to put them...

I'm about to change fork seals but am not sure what weight oil I need for the forks. What do you guys recommend?

Hi all: Any of you know if an oil cooler product exists for the earliest Maxes? I've seen them advertised for later models, but couldn't find 'em for the very first generation. (I have an '89.) Thanks! Elimax
