Long story short... My VMax engine started having a bad knock after runing dry, I layed the bike on its side (had an accident) and with throttle stuck WFO and no oil circulation... Bike also suffered some cosmetic damage, those are fixed, the engine got the worst from the accident.. well if I...

What year venture engine (1300cc) is normally swapped in to a Vmax for a HP increase?

Hey Guys, I noticed the VMAX has a similar issue than my previous Yamaha R6 and R1 had, when you let go of the gas, it seems the engine puts a ton of engine braking into play, which is terrible around corners when it kicks in unexpectedly? I recall on the R6 it was as simple as pulling...

Hello Fellow VMAX Enthusiasts!! I am pretty much finished installing a 92 engine in my 86 VMAX. Just have to swap out the engine covers to chrome ones I have from the blown engine and I just wanted to see if anyone had any good advice on how to install the gaskets and so forth to do it right...

I think someone on here adapted their automotive engine stand to hold a Vmax engine......but I can't find the thread. Can anyone hold my hand and lead me to it:ummm:

1998 VMax probably with stage 1 jets. Kerker 4 into 1. No other mods THAT I KNOW OF. Originally was running way too rich. W help of Traumahawk, took sliders out and moved e-ring back one notch to lean it ou bu pushing needle forward. Ran much better but still rough in places. smooth in mid...

Hi all I need to paint the engine on one of my bikes and I like the matt black on the gen2 max. Does anyone know anything about that paint? Kind, Reference, similar type paint, anything? Thanks in advance...

Hello, I just swapped a 1992 engine into my 1986 Vmax but the coil pick up wiring is different than the original wiring harness connections. Old original engine seized up and new engine came from ebay w/ 17k miles. 55k miles on bike currently. Bike is equipped with the following: Fulll...

2001, stock, cobra pipes. Just started a miss at about 5500 RPM and goes away instantly when you hit 7000. It's very similar to the miss when you didn't see the low fuel light came on. Do I have a fuel problem? Or? Thanks in advance.

Hi, just put a brand new charged battery and now i have this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA0KB_6CMXo there is a strange sound during the cranking, open choke or closed it s the same, after came a light smell of gasoline. What can i do?

Well just as I thought luck was looking up and PCW finally got some of my engine parts shipped I realized that was not the case. I got the upper engine case unpacked only to find the rear of the block broken where the middle gear cover bolts on. My thoughts are to bolt the engine cases...

The engine in my V Max started to make a bad knocking noise. I guess its the main bearings... I have found 2 Yamaha XVZ Venture engines. These are basically the same engines, correct? So, could I use the bottom end of the Venture engine and just bolt on the V Max , rods, pistons, heads, cams...

Long story short.. Had an accident, gravle on the road... ended up in a ditch, bike laying on its side and throttle stuck at WFO for about 20-30sec untill I shut it down... Any way... Broke my wrist and two fingers, lycky nothing else, bike a little banged up, but nothing major, and already...

Ok so I got buyers goggles yesterday and skipped one of the most basic checks on a vmax, comparing engine and frame number. Checked this morning and they don't match. Questions that remain are how much does that matter? I'm planning on keeping the bike and making it my own so if it reduces...

Hi, I'm wondering how hot the engine oil in vmax runs because i recently stripped a thread for a screw that is holding the oil pump while doing the HD oiler kit. The thread was only half stripped so i applied loctite to it. On loctite's webpage it states that a 5Nm torque gives about 24Nm...

Anyone know how much a Gen1 engine weights with fluids? I have a neck/ fork project about to start and want to be able to simulate the weight at the welders shop with the motor removed to verify my geometry.

Venture engine with Vmax carbs..tuning? A guy from the french board put a Venture engine on his Max but with the Vmax carbs. At 5000 RPM (WOT or part throttle) it fall on his face. I suppose carbs settings have to be modified. If somenone knows this settings or at least stock Venture carb...

I’ve got an engine oil leak on my 93 vmax but I can’t tell where it is coming from. The oil seems to be coming from the front left side cover. The cover bolts were a bit loose so I tightened them down a bit but that didn’t seem to help. It’s not the valve covers because they have been...

My 2007 Vmax-1200 starts OK. Runs OK. The battery is unable to rotate the engine when hot and radiator fan is ON. The battery seems absolutely OK when bike is cold. Do I need to change the battery or is this a normal phenomena with Vmax-1200?
