fixing

Alrighty.. so I'm rewiring the headlight to remove the non-sense LED monstrosity that the PO put in. For one when the light was on low-beam there was just a small LED ring that glowed, no light. When it was on highbeam it was a DIM light that was unsafe to even ride with at night...

Hi All. I'm looking into buying a vmax and I think I found a good deal. Its a 96' that looks to be in pretty good shape, but second gear is starting to pop. The guy tells me that it works fine, but if you rev it to high in second it pops out. I'm wondering a couple things: (1) How much I...

Picked up an 89 VMAX tonight. It only has 16k on it and it runs FAST. But its far from perfect. It has a charging issue, but I think I'll look that one up. The cowls are peeling. Hit it with some Mothers and it didn't seem to help much. What can I do to clean these up? Do I need to...

Hi Guys, I am a long time motorcycle longer and first time VMax owner. I just picked up a 2001 VMax with 11,000 miles and the carbon fiber paint scheme. I have own a lot a very fast bikes in my time and after getting my bike home and test driving it, I thought something didn't feel right...

Came across this video, due to my inexperience I was curious what you guys thought. Could this be an option? or do the seals just need to be replaced when they start to leak? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wlzfoVroSY

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?

Hey All, Among the many projects I did this spring, I put solid engine mounts in my 97, along with that, I sync'd the carbs, put new progressive shocks in the rear, (front springs were last summer) put bar end mirrors on it, and put a Morley seat on it. I'm sure it's because of the solid...

I was just wondering if anybody out there has a problem with the infamous speed wobble at right around 90 to 100 mph. ? I heard something about replacing the rubber washer in the tree with a steel one . I have no idea where to get one at and does anybody know if it really works or what does. I...

This thread is going to be sort of a progress thread on what I do (probably over the winter) to fix the speed wobble problems on my '85 Max. Not sure how long it will take me to fix the problem or how quickly I can get to it now that winter is around the corner (since it is hard to run 110+ down...

Howdy, My bike has a braided clutch cable, which works ok, except that it leaks at a fitting down by the left peg where it goes under the clutch cover. There is a solid tube that comes up out of the clutch hosing; this tube has a nut that fastens to the aftermarket clutch line. Fluid leaks...
