If I can have a moment of your time. Each year, my club, Freedom Warrior M.C. collects and distributes toys to children in need. Most toys are distributed to single mothers in recovery, living in halfway homes, or sober living environments. These women rarely have enough funds for any kind of...

here is a 15" rim on eBay that is set up for a chain drive. $70 and no bids yet...

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before, but I'll ask it again. I have a 1985 model and want to replace the dampers in the rear wheel. They are listed as spareable parts as are the pins that fasten the clutch hub, or drive hub if you prefer, to the wheel. Therefore, there must be...

Any brand in particular - or just whatever the manual suggests? I am going through a list of maintenance I want to do - as I have zero clue what was done prior to my purchase.. I am swapping the oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter, synch carbs, final drive oil... Looks easy enough in the...

working on getting my motor apart and was wondering what is the size of the big nut on the middle drive gear is and is there a trick to breaking it loose and also how do you loosen the 4 #40 torx screws that secure the metal tabs over the bearing,the heads of them are peened into a recess in the...

I just changed the back tire for the first time on the 95', it looked liked it could use some grease. It had a little oil residue on the gear, but looked dry. Does the shaft gear oil get into the joint between the wheel and shaft? I dont think it does, so would a good grease pack do good in...

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've modded my swingarm for my project,extended it 80mm and because I decided to make a couple more I decided to allow a user to keep the original drive shaft rather make and sell a new shaft which becomes more expensive. So I have made these extensions, external spline as per the original shaft...

Greetings; Does any one have or know of a site with good photos of a chain drive? Mostly concerned with the cases. thanks sandy

Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, CA, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat, going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how...

I am new to the V-Max forum, but I am interested in using a V-Max engine for a project that I am getting ready to start. . . My question is. . .how difficult would it be (or would it even be possible) to convert the V-Max engine to chain final drive? Thanks for helping a newb out.

I just recently bought my first vmax which also happens to be the first shaft driven bike I have ever had, my question is this: when I am coming out of a turn or accel after a decel there is a pretty noticeable clunk, almost as if there was too much backlash or a worn u-joint, the bike is a 2k...

Hello guys, I need to replace the ring gear and the drive pinion gear of my 91 lady. But impossible to find those part here, unless I try to order it from yamaha. Any idea where I can find that ? or should I think about changing the full drive shaft (more easy to find) ? I need those parts in...

Hi everyone, my names Jacob (aka Cobb). I own a Yammie XVS1100 Vstar Classic Cruiser and we 1100 owners have been having a series of failures with the Middle Drive Shaft. The NUT that holds the Uni Joint onto the Middle Drive Shaft (the shaft that exits the motor) suffers a Stress Fracture and...

Hello all.. I have an 86 vmax that I tore down due to a knock.. I just got the cases split and pulled the drive axle assembly out.. The First BIG Gear on the end - seems to have alot of play on the shaft... IS this Normal?.. I dont see any scoring or wear on the shaft itself and the bronze...

Well, I gone done it now. When removing drive shaft from the diff I hurt myself. I used my foot to hold the diff down and when pulling with all my strength the small end (size doesn't matter in this case.....it still hurt) of the drive shaft shish-kabob'd my nut sack. Anybody have an ice pack...

Ive owned my 96 max for for 7 months now. it has 31,000 miles on it and ive put 9,000 miles on it so far. ever sence i have owned it, if i let the clutch out quickly at stops, i hear a clunk. its not very loud but its enough to make me ask you guys about it. it hasnt gotten worse sence ive owned...

Does anyone on here own a chain drive vmax or know of someone who does and if so what type of quarter mile times are they running?

I understand how it effects top end and the rpm range but I was just wondering how much there is to it. Do you have replace the whole shaft drive unit or is it more extensive than that. What would the costs amount to. Thanks Robbarrie

has any one done a chain drive conversion? How exspensive is this, and how difficult? I understand we lose a lot of HP thru the Shaft, (is that why the max has 145 hp at the crank and 116 or so at the wheel?) thanks Ox
