So long story short, I thought I ordered 3 new bolts for the starter clutch and wound up getting one. My mistake:bang head: I called about getting the other two. They said It would take a week or better to get them, and I have a guy set up to help me change it this week. So I figured I'd try to...
a while back I had posted building some frame braces. Well I am in the process of getting a hydraulic tubing bender. Plus I have recently purchased a Vmax frame for mock up or a welding jig. Now I am looking for a cheep way to get a mock up of an engine. The Q is will a early venture engine...
Is it normal for oil to come out of the vboost manifold bolt holes? I had the max on the center stand and replaced the rubber boots on the vboost. When I took the vboost manifolds off, oil oozed out of the outer bolt holes on the left front cylynder and the right rear cylinder. I saw what...
So I?m a dumbass. Actually I?m a dumbass multiple times over. I was screwing my drivers seat back in and the bolt didn?t go in correctly but I didn?t stop turning it when I should have. The head broke off, leaving what?s left of the bolt stuck in the hole with nothing to grab on to. I...
I screwed up when trying to change rear diff oil on my truck and broke the head off of one of the bolts. I dont think anyones ever changed the diff oil in its 33 year life, it looks like diahreah.
I sprayed it with pb blaster before i gave up on it tonight. Whats the best way to get it out...
So I was just cleaning off some bug guts and noticed someone threw in some random bolt on the front Yamaha plate. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Thanks. Sorry for the pic size, I'm at work and there is no photoshop stuff.
Noobie here!
Can anyone tell me how to install the shock stud required by a VMAX on a Venture final drive housing?
Bought my first Max a little over a week ago. It's a '92 and I got a good price knowing it had some deficiencies.
Although it runs well and accelerates harder than anything...
I had to leave the Vmax up on jack stands all last week as I was committed to pre-riding some of the day rides for the annual Concours Owner's Group National rally. It was in the fantastic riding area around Deal's Gap and I had to motorcycle camp the whole time...poor me....
Anyway, I got the...

I have been wanting to see if a true bolt-on chain-drive conversion housing can be designed for the V-max....I designed one for the XS750/850 and the XS1100 which are all shaft drive. I have my own CNC machine and sell the housings with all hardware for $450....I was curious what size billet I...
I just got a new set of rims for the max but now the rotor bolts are to long. Awhile back I put some chrome ones on it but don't remember what size they are.( and cant seem to find the stock ones to see if they were shorter) Not sure if they where longer than the stock ones or not. But they...
Hey all..
got my new powdercoated rims back and was putting them on last night!!! it looks sweet but i snapped the rear axle pinch bolt in half.... was still easily racheting it.. not sure if it was the sub-freezing temperatures (was in a semi-heated garage) or if the bolt was faulty..
i think...
I think I am only going for the Boulevard Wind screen and the passenger back rest. I heard soem sweet sound bites so I dont think I need to do exhaust. :eusa_dance:Whats everyone else doing?
I am sure the answer is simple - but how does one remove the chrome bolt caps from the handelbar brackets without scratching the $#!^ out of the housing?
Removed my Holeshot cans today, a long droning ride and a conversation with a ignorant cop convinced me it was time for stock pipes again. Took ten minutes to get the cans off and almost an hour to get that big assed heavy muffler back on the head pipes. Everything all buttoned up and that...
Do the handle bar clamp bolt caps remove easy? or will they be destroyed in the process of removal? I have a new billet one on the way I'm going to replace. Any Idea where they might be purchased if they do need to be replaced?
Thanks.
Ken.
I PUT BRUSHED STAINLESS PUSH-IN CAPS INTO EVERY ALLEN-HEAD BOLT ON MY INTIRE MAX, ENGINE & ALL , IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE V-MAX & ITS ENGINE IS HELD TOGETHER WITH GIANT RIVET'S, I THINK IT MAKES THE MAX LOOK MEANER ESPECIALY THE ENGINE ...
I broke a valve cover bolt while putting my front valve cover back on.
So my question is?
If I take that cam shaft cap off and take out the broken bolt? Do I need to loosen all the cam shaft cap bolts and re torque them is a criss cross pattern?
Or is it ok to just re torque that one cam shaft...
