Hi folks:
I'm in a bit of a quandary here...
I'm currently attempting to disembowel/rebuild the USD shocks from a 1994 Yamaha YZF750, and the service manual states a lot of tools necessary to do this ("Rod Puller" part #90890-01437 and "Adapter" part #90890-01436 are examples.)
I've...
Hey all, I saw the seat thread, but I don't know if this issue has been addressed.
Just bought this bike and It came with the Corbin--which is very comfortable. I want the Corbin for 2-up riding. My dilemma is fueling the bike with the Corbin on. It is a pain in the butt. I always spill fuel...
which parts do I need to get to rebuild my slave cylinder on my 86 with O.E.M. parts?,or is the slave cyl. rebuild kit @ Python a good reliable purchase.Thanks..Dave
Hey guys,
As most may know, i've done a good deal of dragracing on mostly late model sportbikes. And its well known that you can't beat the performance/reliability/longevity of the OEM fibers/steels. There are aftermarket clutch componant makers that make good products, but their...
On the left-hand side, I made sure that the COP wiring (arrowed) was in front of the V-boost servo, so it wouldn't get in the way of the V-boost cable or cam movement:
the wiring is routed through the opening in the heat shield (arrowed) that the HT lead used to go through:
Now the left...
Ok so back to fitting the COPs, finally.
Here are the front wires prepared - notice that the #4 wire has to be longer to reach down to the right-hand cylinder from the connector on the left which is pretty close to the main harness:
Here's #4 connected...
...all taped up...
...and fed...
To remove the front coils, the only way to access all four coil mounting screws is to move the bracket that hold the CDI, ignition vacuum advance unit and V-boost servo. Here's a full view of it; the blue arrows shows the #4 coil screws, and the red arrows show the bracket mounting screws (x4)...
As I went to do the front COPs, I thought there was no way I would leave the original coils in place - after all the COPs mod is as much about saving weight and space as it is about better performance through less resistance in the coils circuit and better reliability through removing those...
Ok so since I couldn't ride today (missing that front wheel spacer) I went ahead with Birdoprey's Coils Over Plugs mod. Thanks for sending that wire harness Mark!:worthy:
I got a set of COPs from an '05 GSXR 600 ($10), and another set from an '01 CBR 929 RR ($5) as spares - both ended up being...
At the risk of incuring the wrath of Buster or another mod I am posting this here. I have an OEM backrest for sale. Looking for $425 + actual shipping. Fire me a pm or email if interested. Will post pics tomorrow.
I noticed two things since I got my '86 Max:
- my rear shocks don't have any damping adjustment
- I can't get the bike on its centre stand unless I roll the rear wheel on a plank.
So I think someone put shorter shocks to lower the bike :bang head:, and I would like to go back to stock.
So...
hello and thank you
i live in Canada but found an OEM 1990 V-max in JAPAN with about 4.1 KM
Obviously the bike is in PERFECT condition, and selling for around 7000 US
(NOT including shipping and handling)....any comments? worth while?
I bought the OEM fly screen from an online vender. It arrived today and I just installed it tonight. If you are anal like I am about perfect alignment, it ain't. Close enough though. Also, you have to loosen the turn signal indicators to get the fly screen over the threaded bolt and aligned with...
I have a set of OEM rear shocks from my 1997 V-max (black springs, chrome ends.) I'm the original owner (5'7" 165lbs.) The bike currently has 4424 miles on the odometer, the shocks where replaced earlier this summer with approximately 3900 miles. The shocks are very clean and shiny.
Asking...
