cylinder

Hello all, I finally had time this evening to give my '85 a good wash and make it ready for the riding season. After talking to her nicely, she finally fired up. Things didn't sound quite right and after feeling all of the headers, I found the front left didn't want to put blisters on...

what other bikes clutch mast cylinder will also fit the vmax? can't remember. was thinking an FJR1300?

Although my Vmax runs great, I have noticed that when starting from cold, the rear right cylinder has a slight 'misfire'. After idling for a minute it disappears as soon as it starts to warm up. I have also noticed that when the bike starts to get low on fuel it also starts to miss on the same...

Hi all, I've tried lots of things listed in these great forums related to this problem I'm having... but still some issues :bang head: The bike runs perfect for the first 5 mins of the day... then when it's warmed up it starts backfiring/misfiring. The exhaust note also changes - sounds...

When I bought my bike a little over 2 years ago, I rode it home and found the #3 coil wire broken. I repaired it, and eventually upgraded to Coil Over Plugs (COPs). It's continually had strange "popping" sounds from #3. I have a true 4-into-4 exhaust now, so I can hear and feel what that...

Alright, the upper clutch master cylinder. I bought all the new parts,cleaned it thoroughly and assembled it according to the manual. My question is how do you stop it from leaking where the lever goes in? I've assembled and disassembled it 5 times and each time I start to bleed it it starts...

I have noticed every time I go for a ride, even short hops of 10 miles or less, I have oil blowing on left side on top of stator case cover. It,s coming from looks like lower cylinder or base gasket. I am assuming this means that I must pull engine and do top end? Shops around here will no...

Does anybody know the diameter of the seals for the slave cylinder?? I ordered what I hope are the right ones. Seal kit for the "push lever seal kit". I got the kit containing two seals 1 is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and the other is about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Got them from Yamaha...

Good afternoon guys I was wondering if anyone has ever tried running with a 17 mm bore master and if that works okay.

I'm thinking about painting my motor this weekend since its giving rain. The only real bad part is the upper cylinders under the valve covers. They have basicly started turning white from the lack of paint. On a 97 would the upper cylinders be gloss black or flat? Any tips? The motor...

Has anyone had any issues with the gen 2 master cylinder joint snapping where it attaches to the brake pedal? Mine had the bottom break off were the pin goes through 2000 miles. Seems to be a cheap casted part.

Can you help me trouble-shoot this? It started running on only one cylinder. I thnk it's a carb issue...:rofl_200: Those damn Dellortos!

I am in need of a clutch master cylinder and mirror for an 05 VMAX. Thanks!

I ordered a rear master cylinder rebuild kit and when I took my old one off I didn't pay close enough attention I guess! Can someone tell me which way the orings go on the inside of it? I know they go on each end of the metal piece inside of it but they are tapered and I don't remember which way...

Anyone familiar with newer cable clutch microswitches on newer bikes? Like this? Been told there is a Yamaha version. How does it work? Is there something on the lever to push on the switch internally? Anyone have one of these set ups?

So I bought my bike used and it ran pretty damn well. Then I started tinkering... Actually I did the shot gun method because my bike started running like pooh; loss of power and backfires. So worked better after shotgun method. Then crap again. I noticed fuel filter was full of rust. Crap...

I recently discovered that cylinder #1 (left rear) is not heating up at the same rate as the others. I've read other posts about this and decided to try and figure it out was is happening. The first thing I did was visually check that coil and wire and cap and they all look fine (I replaced the...

Ok.. so after reading many issues on this forum.. the bulk of the issues can be resolved by cleaning the carbs. Now I have cleaned mine thoroughly twice.. every orifice and jet has been cleaned, the float valves were leveled off. I synced my carbs once I put them back on. Now the reason why i...

So, I'm building up my 83 Venture. Part of it is installing VMax cylinder heads. But I'm trying for a "stealth install", trying to keep it looking as much like a Venture as possible. It's pretty much an unmolested survivor (31,000 KMs/19,000 miles) and I'd like to keep that look, at least...

I have a couple questions regarding aftermarket master cylinder set.... 1-Have any one tried to replace their OEM master cylinder clutch/brake buy one of these ones from ebay and as it worth it? 2-What is the size of the brake piston on OEM? The ones on ebay are 12,7 mm 3- Is...
