Hi, I have an 88 model vmax that has started leaking coolant from the cylinder head water jacket joint. The workshop manual states only to remove them only when essential eg engine overhaul. Wanted to remove them and replace the o-rings and stop the leak, trouble is they are made out of bakelite...

Due to certain circumstances I've been without a Vmax for about 3 years. I been riding a Honda 919 that I pick up cheap for the last few years but............... I can't stop thinking about the Vmax. I know it was the most inpractical motorcycle that I've owned, but I smile everytime I...

My 86 Vmax just clicked over 40k and coolant level in manifold keeps dropping filling overflow tank. With bike running air bubbles in coolant, oily film too. Bike has been have cooling issues the whole time ive owned it. compression checked it after warming it up, 165-170 all cylinders. kinda...

The 1983 -1985 Venture 1200 motors had a setup called the YICS system. This entailed a port into the intake chamber near the intake boss. It was attached to a plastic manifold. The intent seemed to be to help improve air fuel mixture. This system was abandoned in 1986 when the Ventures went to...

Well, it's been awhile but my Gen 1 is back into kick-ass running order. Ah man! It feels so much better having a 2-wheeler at my disposal. And now is summer, I f*^king love riding. It had been about 3-4 years, and being someone who rides more than drives, it was helluva long wait. Kids or no...

so it seems that i'm retorquing the bearings a lot like every 500 miles--this doesn't seem right to me. idk how many miles it should be in general, but 500 seems problematic. i'm being realistic and not dreaming of never having to revisit the steering head bearings, but hold long should one...

I rode a buddys Vmax and I was surprise at just how easy the thing rode. I was tooling around on my bike the other day and decided to check the ring nuts and head nut for correct torque. I noticed that the head nut was loose so I thought maybe ill check the ring nuts too . I tightened the...

Hi all, I am doing some work on the VMAX tomorrow, I noticed the head set is loose again I have done the furbur fix but still comes loose, can I use Loctite? :hmmm: Anyone tried this? Look forward to your oppinions.

Howdy all, Here's a bit of a stumper. When the bike ignition is turned on, the following happens: The headlight does not light up [fuse good] high beam or low beam. Signal lights work, horn works. When the button is placed to run: 1. The Vboost mechanism does not actuate 2. Nothing...

Anyone know what size allen head socket is needed for a early gen 1 fork for the top bolt under the cover? 16mm or a 17mm? thanks

Well for all of us who have stripped out phillips head screws and have resorted to drills ,hammers,punches,oxy torches ,welders etc. to get a screw out .Here is a solution maybe....I thought there were maybe 6 to 8 different types of philips head screws and the screwdrivers that undo them.****...

Well my 2004 finally shook the bars hard enough to get my attention today on the way home from work. It happened as I changed lanes and encountered an uneven section between the two lanes at about 65 mph. Luckily a hand full of throttle lightened the front end enough to regain composure. I have...

Hey guys, sorry but I have another daft question for you. I have just replaced my steering head bearing and I paid good money for good Japanese bearings. There is no bottom dust seal with the bearings and unfortunaltey there is no old seal on my bike, it was just packed with grease. Haven't...

I have a couple of heads with worn valve stems. Maybe the guides are still okay and maybe not, I will have to check. Other than the very expensive valves from Yamaha :teeth angry:, what are the options of rebuilding those heads ( oversize valves? automotive valves? SS valves? Thank you

I am having some more steering head nut wrenches made. They will be ready to ship on December 6th. These will assist in setting the steering bearing tightness on all 1st gen VMax's. The Yamaha equivalent is around $80, P/N YU-01268 I am selling these for $25.00 including US shipping...

Hey guys and girls, I am trying to torque my new steering head bearings. What is the correct procedure for this, i read that you torque the nut over tight to settle the bearings, then loosen and re torque to a lesser setting. Anyone know the proper torque settings please!:ummm: Michael

I've decided to pull the front head and have been reading the manual about it. The book says that I'll need to remove the exhaust studs if I leave the motor in the frame. Anyone ever done this? I have horrible images of a broken stud going through my mind. Any suggestions? Also, Mr. Morley, do...
