HI The piston seals on the front brakes of my 98 US spec vmax all need replacing. They are different to the uk calipers and I was quoted £132 for the seals from Yamaha ! Was wondering if uk spec calipers are a straight replacement or do I need to suck up the postage charges of usa ebay?

1999 VMax Needle seat/sleeve has loosened up (unseated) from seat. Is it possible to repair without taking all four carbs out for bench work?

Hey all! I recently acquired an '88 Vmax 1200, which I had previously never heard of but fell in love with immediately. The previous owner had put pretty much as much money as possible into maintaining all the OEM moving parts and had paid a bit less attention to how the bike looked, so I've...

I've got a craftsman jack I think will work if I put about 4" of support in the circled area. I don't think lifting from the back of the motor will get the front end up so I also need to know if I can also lift from a bit further forward, directly underneath the oil pan.

Going down to the OBX next week and like to cover my bike for the trip as it will be on an open trailer. Any info on what size to get and possibly make sure it stays on! LOL! Thanks

All, I'm looking for a sport touring bike. It would be driven to work (65 miles round trip) and on some weekends on a 500 mile round trip. I'm looking for something with hard bags and plenty of power. I also wan't an upright riding position. I have been eyeballing the used Kawasaki Concours 14...

Hello good folks, thanks so much for the advice so far. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TMnyE3YEx8LUzf7z1 I mentioned in a previous thread that I've previously owned a 1981 CB750K and a 2002 Kawi concours 1000. The knowledge is worth something I'm sure; I know how to take care of vintage bikes...

For a while, my bike would just die while riding. Would pull over to side of road, wait a minute and would start up again and go on without any problems. Then the last two outings, it got worse and would die after going a few kms. I adjusted the carbs, floats, needles and jets based on...

Sorry that Boxxenstopp and Joe won't be around any more. It was a good way to be able to meet the other VMax guys from around the country. My buddy and I will be up there TH FR & SA March 15-17. We like to watch the national flattrack race, last year, it was a TT-style, and Mees on an...

I have a 2002 max, after sitting for a couple of weeks, I went out to shop to start it up, battery low, put trickle charge on it. Went to start it up the next day, everything came on and engine started spinning over....then, everything went off as if battery was jerked loose. Started checking...

Found this on my local craigslist... lmao

I just went and looked at this guy's bike tonight. Somebody take him the $1500 he's asking for and get it to your house. It needs steering head bearings tightened, a left turn signal bulb, and the starter switch sprayed with something to keep it from sticking...

A buddy of mine just bought it as a project. Looks similar to a VMax, but I am not super experienced with them. Any ideas? And I asked for the vin, he says he cant get to it under the fairing....

Was browsing on Kijiji the other night and seen my first Vmax. I rebuilt the motor with parts and pointers from Sean M. The yellow bike is what I had. The other pics, same bike now for sale. Just makes my stomach turn with how beat up she looks now
