Hello everyone! I recently bought a new to me vmax, and I need to replace the fork seals. I cannot seem to find any info on the amount of oil per fork? I was just wondering if anybody knew or had a source for the info? Also, what a wonderful site here! So much info, I could read for...

looking for a fork brace to if 89

I've tried the search engine on this forum and cannot get good results for some reason. The manual says the front fork air pressure should be 5.7 - 14.2 PSI. I read that someone else is running at 0 PSI. Right now mine is 0 PSI. Thoughts? Opinions?

Looking for all of the info possible to make a successful swap, any and all info would be great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking to swap my front forks with a spare bike I have, which is a gsxr srad. Any info on what will make the swap easy would be awesome. Not sure what's involved, and sure there is something involved Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I watched Sean's video of his daughter disassembling forks for seal replacement. I attempted to disassemble my ‘97 forks but ran into issues. I was using a brand-new impact gun and brand-new impact 10-mm hex bit. One lower bolt head stripped out. The other one is spinning, with some difficulty...

Hi guys, I am in the middle of replacing the fork fluid on my VMax - and one of the forks is collapsed and will not come back out. I have not removed the bottom allen bolts, hoping that I could swap the fluid from the top, after removing top cap, spring etc. I can spin the inner tube...

Hey guys has anyone cut the stock springs to stiffen them up. I cut 1 1/2" off my virago 1100 springs and made a longer spacer to compensate and it made a huge difference for zero expense. I was thinking of doing the same with the Vmax but only cut an inch off and leave the stock spacer to lower...

Wanted to hear everyone's opinion on fork mount or handle bar mount windshields. Also, please take into consideration possible impacts while riding.

Did the torque specs change in 92 or is it still 14 for the top and 17 for the bottom (or whatever)?

I Have my forks apart from my 89 installing new springs and seals. I want to replace the fork bushings and can only find the one up at the fork seal. I can not find the one that fits in the groove in the fork tube anywhere. Tried 3 dealers every bike shop I can think of and looked on line. Does...

Next question from me I'm afraid! On my '85 max the front for has what looks like a wire tensioner at the top of the front fork... Anyone know what this is for and how to remove it to get the front fork off?! :ummm: Cheers, James

Fork bushes Hi, Since my forks are torn apart to install emulators, I also want to check the bushes. My manual states that they are worn when the copper color can be seen on the running surface. The top ones do not show this but the bottom ones do. Is that all? Or is there anything else to...

I'm getting ready to do this maintenance, and recommendations and the brand of oils to use ?

OK, my '85 barnfind had very leaky fork seals,the lower legs were stained brown and the brakes were gummy with oil. I saw a Utube vid about making and using a tool made from hard clear plastic packaging along with the methods of use. So I tried it while I had the front wheel off. I found...

I'd like to paint the bottom of my forks on my 85 Max. Anyone know off the top of their head what kind of metal the bottom section of the forks are made of? Would it be aluminum by chance? I'm aware of the different methods used to prep various metals for paint, but I haven't stripped the...

I have an 88 max with the 40mm forks that need new seals / possibly bushings. Is it worth upgrading to the 43mm forks & triple tree (supposing I can find some for a decent deal.) Is the 43mm fork a big upgrade? Thanks, Brad
