drive

Well guys Sean Morley got me hooked on engine cases sleeved and setup for a chain drive. So now I am building a 1428 chain drive with 8.5:1 pistons and H beam rods, pretty much all the goodies to make this motor take the turbo I am putting on it. Ideal goal with this bike is to get...

I'm getting a VMax rear wheel powdercoated and want to confirm if the rubber "cush-drive" inserts will survive the de-gas and curing temperatures? I'm pretty sure someone on here was saying they'll be fine but just want to confirm before taking the wheel in.

Hi folks- Mikes's recent misfortune (Drivetrain forum - "Broken parts and shrapnel"), has got me a tad worried about the health of my own bike's final drive components. The Clymer manual does not list any intervals for inspecting, tightening, or lubricating the driveshaft splines, the...

Stopped by the dealer to get some gear oil, and they gave me the 'Shaft Drive Oil Exclusive' (link below) that is supposed to be used in the Gen 2 Max, Tenere, and FJR. Ok to run this stuff in the Gen 1 V-Max...

Different question..I have an extra final drive and put some oil in it. When I look directly into the shaft drive coupling area, I see oil weeping out of one of the two small holes (180 degrees apart) in the bottom of the coupling. I think the same thing is happening with the final drive...

Thought this was way Cool. If birds can fly like this, WTF can't people drive as well... CELL PHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://vimeo.com/31158841

Well guys, Sean has sold me a set of 1428 chain drive engine cases to build my turbo motor on. Havent got the parts yet, but the swingarm was a PCW setup originally. Sean doesnt know what kind of wheel was on it originally and I am wondering if you guys any ideas or suggesntions? I know the...

Is there an auto seal washer that will work with the bolt or stick with Yama washer? I've tried both alum and copper and still seem to be getting a very small leak after riding.

Hi guys, I have been learning a bit about the Vmax final drive pinion shearing off as this has just happened to my sons '88 Vmax. Although the job is not too involved if I have an exchange pumpkin. Quoted yesterday at $2000.00AU to have it repaired. Far too expensive! Has someone got advice as...

I decided to ship my differential out for chrome. I figured I would try to disassemble it down to the bare case to same some money in the process. To be truthful, I was a little intiminated by the process. There is a lot of talk about special tools and troublesome tasks in the manual. I can...

What is the best final drive fluid for the vmax. Will any 80/90w work?

Thread size on these? (1.5 or 1.25mm)

Is the Gen1 Vmax final drive breather a screw in or push in type?

I'm familiar with Venture final drive swaps with Vmax. Does anyone know if FJR 1300 differentials are compatible? Thanks for any help. raptor197211

I need to get my wheels powdercoated, however I have been advised by the company doing the work to remove the six rubber drive dampers - cush drive rubbers from the rear wheel as the wheel needs to be heated to 230 degrees in an oven to bake the coating. I have tried knocking them out with a...

what was the first year ? model # and who made it? I found some older bike pictures and was amazed at what I saw. Not too sure if the pictures I have are the first shaft drives, but might be Gannon

Checking to see if anyone is having a problem on a chain drive bike with the bolt at the middle gear bearing coming loose. After about 100miles the bolt starts to get loose. I have tried red locktight and staking the bolt, but still it backs out. Any ideas on how to solve the problem. :ummm...
