Hi, I have decided to take my 1982 Vmax off the road for a month to do a lot of little stuff to it. My main concern that I have is setting my float levels. The bike was in storage for years unrun before I got it, and although its going great, there is something not quiet right in the carby...

Anybody know how to loosen up the tripometer? The knob is tight and will not adjust the numbers....feels like they are in a bind or something. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

When I bought my 06 last year it didn't come with the tool kit. I've never adjusted the stock rear shocks and I think it's about time I tried. What kind of wrench can I use without damaging the shock and do you guys have any suggestions as to the setting for a 225lb rider with about 20 lbs of...

I returned from a ride last night to discover that the rear tire had been rubbing against the drive shaft. The tire needs to be replaced now. And unless I can fix the alignment, the bike will have to be taken to a shop on a trailer. Could someone please explain (in newbie terms) how to fix the...

Hey guys, I just had a quick question for you. Do you think it would be worth rejetting/adjusting the carbs on my 06? Its all stock except for a K&N filter, shimmed airbox Y, and supertrapp slip on exhaust (although they have open caps on them so its pretty much straight through). Last time i...

iv had bother trying to get my vmax to run correct , iv done everything possable accept check the float height, i mean how can they move from the original manufactures setup , so is it just a case of bending them, i cant see and adjusting marks or anything, help me out guys on how to do this plz...

I realize this is stupid easy for any experienced mechanic or rider, but the first time I went to make an adjustment, I'd never done anything with a CV style carb before, and couldn't find any resource here on how to actually do it. So here's a quick write up with some pictures I snagged last...

OK, so you've got all your clearances to your liking, the shim kit's on its way to the next Vmaxxer (or back to Sean), and you wanna ride! Let's put it all back together.. First I cleaned up my valve covers as best I could: I couldn't find the damn black RTV, and was too lazy to go get some...

Ok so now we're ready to start measuring clearances and adjusting them with the use of shims. DO NOT attempt to start this job without first talking to Sean Morley ([email protected]), because he may just lend you his shim kit. Without it, you'll need a Yamaha special tool (YM-33961 Tappet...

Ok so finally (I know I've been putting this back waaaay too long!) here's a full 'how to' for doing your valves clearances, with the engine IN the bike. I agree that it would be a helluva lot easier to do this with the engine out, but it's not that easy for everyone to remove their motor...

my bike is idling a little low... 700rpm. i was looking for adjusting screw but didn't see it. i want to bump the idle to 900 and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. thanks, sid

G'day, I put a paai globe on and it looks good but its made me wonder if the beam is too high. How do you adjust the beam?

When to adjust valve's? I cant get the pdf service manual to work right on my laptop. When are the recommended valve adjustments due? My bike has 12,000 miles now running 15W40 Rotella and i notice quite a bit of valve/engine noise when idling. Thanks

Do I really have to take the carbs off? I'm there now, is the Clymer's spot-on correct or can I skip some of this?

This shows how to adjust the cable tension to ensure vboost valves are opening fully. If too tight then the valves will bind to the open position. Here's the vboost adjuster. Might as well check the vboost sync! Turn on the key and turn off once vboost cycles open. Use a couple of fingers...
