This is Cycle Gears last day for Engine Ice $17.99 per 1/2 gal. I just picked some up myself

I'm kind of torn between the OEM engine guards and the Delkevic. Just wondering if anyone has a pic of the Delkevic style installed, or has owned a set. I've seen plenty of the OEM on the bike and they look good, but the Delkevic style seems to have a more secure mounting design. I just can't...

I don't have the side cover gaskets or oil pan on yet. Any reason I just cant use the rest of the yamalube silicone I got instead of buying gaskets? I think it would work just fine what do you think?

So, I painted my Max's engine yesterday with Duplicolor ceramic engine enamel, looks great. I'll post pics later, but now I have a problem :confused2: I took her out for a spin today, and everything seemed dandy until suddenly at a stoplight she just died while idling. Luckily, she started...

I've done the progressive springs and upgraded tires. i'm guessing the next thing would be the engine brace. Which one do you all recommend would be the best bang for the buck. I guess welding won't be too bad since i can probably get that done. Thanks, sid

The engine on my ?96 has looked better (before I bought it!). The black around the heads (above the three ?fins?) is more gray and less black than it should be, and some of the aluminum is showing through, albeit subtley. The black on the exhaust covers has chipped and faded. It?s even more...

:bang head: Here are some vids of my motor knocking sound. I think its a wrist pin or a rod bearing. But before I do something dumb, expensive, and time consuming I thought I'd throw this out here for you guys to take a look at, and see if you have any suggestions. the noise is always there...

Hi all vmaxers, fairly new to the vmax I have a gen 1 88mod. When I first got bike crackled and popped for first 10-15min of riding then all ok, did this every time I went for a ride. Did the shotgun, back together ran worse. Decided to pull out all carbs and service, cleaned up good, did notice...

Hello Guys, Kind of silly question - But still I'm curious to know what is the best RPM to ride the Vmax for keeping the engine in good shape. What is considered "hard" for the engine and will make its life shorter? I usually ride at 6000-7000 RPM... Thanks! Adi

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone here has pictures of an engin stand they use while the bike is out of the frame. I actually have a junk frame that I am planning on using. I have enough parts laying around that I should be able to make a functional stand to run/test engines. I have a...

Hi all, I'm looking for advice and experiences shipping a motor within the US (from IL to CA). Individual to individual. I've read that one method is strap the engine to a wooden skid and there are companies that take it from there... Any good/ bad experiences you could share? The motor is a...

Heres what I did all weekend first here are the before pictures I used Eastwoods engine paint it was $44 dollars on ebay with shipping. I went with this over Rustoleum of VHT because of the hopes that it lives up the the name of chip resistant I have in the one picture an airbrush I was...

I picked up some used engine guards but there is no hardware/bolts. Does anyone know what is needed? THANKS Paul

Has anyone used any of these engine paints?? If so anyone has any pictures? I don't wanna spray my engine. These come in QT cans and I can brush it on. They both sound pritty good as far as I read.

Today I masked off areas with blue masking tape and used Rustoleum 500 degree black spray paint to paint my faded out vmax engine. I will post pictures tomorrow but I can tell you this paint is pretty much a perfect match. It has made a world of difference in the look of the vmax engine. I...

check out this italian man . he build a v-12 engine in a size of a laptop. http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine

Here's this summers project! Anyone out there intersted in a gen 2 Muscle Engine (on exchange)? Sean

Because my 98 sit outside for a long time, the black is faded on the engine and elsewhere. I purchased gloss black Rustoleum Engine Paint in a spray can and thought I would use it to tidy up the paint. Has anyone done what I am going to do or is there an article somewhere with pictures on...

Ok so I'm at a loss for ideas. I bought this bike a few weeks ago, it ran like crap so here is what I've done in a matter of two weeks. New wiring harness. Removed carbs, removed vboost, removed the thing in the valley of the engine and replaced rubber gaskets in both. When I removed the thing...
