When I bought Karma last year she didn't come with the kit under the seat. What is the best and easiest way to remove my plugs? I've heard OEM Plugs are the way to go. I can't use the Search engine on the VMF with this so called top of the line cell phone.:bang head: KarmaKatt

I have just acquired a 1989 V-max. It is stock, has 17,000 miles, and has been sitting for 4 or 5 years. I'm working on getting it running, and among other things, it need new tires. I want to stay with stock size tires, and am considering either: Bridgestone G525 / G526 or Dunlop...

Hi, Thanks to you guys I just bought an 88 Vmax. I love everything except the gigantic foam grips that say "Virago" on the ends. Can original replacement grips still be had? It seems as though every part on this bike is replaceable except the grips. I don't want any aftermarket grips if I...

Not sure if this is the correct catagory but, heres my idea. oem flyscreen hardware & replace the platic w clear/yellow. I like the yellow thing & kinda have this dream of going back yo the old yamaha yellow/black paint if I ever think of a way to incorporate it on the max. so far I have a...

I need to replace my throttle cables (push & pull). I can find a new OEM set for about less than $30 in Ebay. Is there any advantage to go for aftermarket cables? Thanks.

Hello, As the title says: Where can I find new or good condition carb diaphragm covers? I'm talking about those cover with the ph2 screw heads that sits so damn tight. I used a vice grip to remove them and accidentally made a fat scratch on one of them... Can't seem to find any OEM motorcycle...

Hey guys, I'm looking for an oem rear grab bar for the Vmax. If anyone has one that they want to get rid of, hit me up. Thanks.

I finally got Mr Max for the very first time since getting him 4 months ago. The bike came with a Stage 7 kit installed and full UFO exhaust. I sold the UFO exhaust because we have strict noise laws here. So the current setup is Stage 7 and OEM exhaust. The bike starts and idles fine, but...

If anyone buys some oem crashbars off ebay, or somewhere, and the spacer isn't included here are some dimensions that will help. .760" L .627" O.D. .450" I.D. ID isn't that critical but the bolt dia. is .386" so it has to be at least that.

Today I noticed that my rotors were not one piece parts but rather divided into three parts. I added a picture of a rotor found in Ebay. Initially, I thought that my rear rotor was cracked but then I noticed in Ebay that most or probably all OEM are like that. Why? Any comments?

I got a set used on ebay and it didn't come with any fasteners, washers, etc. Curious if any of you guys have the install instructions you might be able to scan or know where I can find em. Just looking for a parts list and what fasters are to be re-used (if any) and what I should run out to...

In the "OEM carbs, post your set up" thread, I haven't seen where anyone is running the DJ170 mains that DJ recommends with the stage 7 kit, is it too rich? mine has the 170s and stumbles off idle after sitting at a light for too long unless I rev it up on take off, I've tried adjusting the A/F...

Jets'R'Us Any one ever deal with these folks? They sell genuine Mikuni jets at $5.78 each and also show OEM equivalents for $2.96 each, the equavalents are listed in the same sizing as mikuni jets. Wonder if they're any good? Also, Yamaha shows stock mains and PAJ's for about $3 each. I...
