rear

Hi there I am trying to sort out the correct color (colour) to repaint the dummy tank etc on my '86 model Vmax I have already applied a repro 'Yamaha' decal to the rear fender/mudguard on the existing paint but wondered if I have it re-painted, were the decals originally applied to the base...

I've got the 300mm wave rotors and a hayabusa caliper I want to put on the rear to match the front. What bracket do people use who have done this?

1993 v max uggg the guy took them off and he doesnt know what he did with him any phone #s links im in south new jersey ty :bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head:

years ago I had a stock rim widened using a gsxr rim as a donor. guy took my rim and machined off lip and cut/welded donor rim onto vmax rim. He machined off welds on outside and wheel was perfect. Anyone know of where this guy was from? Thought Milwaukee...Jim Sent from my SPH-L710 using...

I bought some new rims with tires. The front is a 130/60R18 and the rear is a 200/50R18. John Furbur told me that they'll bolt right on with minimal modification. Here's a thread to show the progress as I try to get things right. First, the rims and tires. I think they look pretty nice...

Have you guys seen this? This company is in Germany and at 65 Euros that works to about $100.00 I might just try to fab out my seat.....

Hi guys I was wondering if someone is able to give me a sketch of the rear shock setup with dogbones/links and such or several pictures where i can check that out. That would be a great help for something im working on... Gen 2 guys please step up... Thanks in advance... Cheers

I bought the adapter from Sean, to be able to use a large rotor on the rear of my 07. Does anyone have a pic of how this is supposed to be bolted on? I guess that I'm having a brain fart, because I'm just not able to picture how it bolts on. Thanks

I am trying to track down exactly what suspension modifications have been done by the previous owners of my Vmax. The PO said it has been lowered about an inch and it has Progressive springs. The shocks say Progressive on them, but what will tell me exactly what my set up is? Is all the lowering...

what would be the top choices for rear rotors and pads

Howdie All VMAXers, I did a lot of reading on this forum to see who is content with Stock Rear Shocks, and how much do you need to upgrade to get nice, nice? I tried the Progressive 412s, better, but not life changing. Then, I researched the next Progressive Model up the 440/444 AIS. I...

Yesterday riding down a canyon road I felt the rear brake fade, then gone. Peddle would just bottom out, like no hydraulic pressure, and no rear brake at all. After coming out of that canyon, about 15 miles of fairly straight riding, 65 MPH, no use of the brakes. Down into the next...

When I bought my 06 last year it didn't come with the tool kit. I've never adjusted the stock rear shocks and I think it's about time I tried. What kind of wrench can I use without damaging the shock and do you guys have any suggestions as to the setting for a 225lb rider with about 20 lbs of...

It was time to finish off the Shinko, had fun doing it too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ap9524O5K0&feature=youtube_gdata_player Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

Would the rear wheel from the Yamaha FJR-1300 fit on a 1st Gen Max? I do like the looks of that one, and I am certain I could find an 18" front that looks really close in design. (Or I could go with the FJR-1300 front wheel possibly which would be a good match)

When running in neutral on the centerstand, I see some videos of guys rear wheel turning a bit when they blip the throttle. My FZ1 used to do this so I know its normal sometimes, but the Max doesn't. Is my clutch still screwed up, or do most of you guys' rear wheels stay stationary when blipping...

So I have gold dots on t he front. Does the matching rear work as a direct bolt-on?

I ll have about 10 sets with me at Thunder if anyone wants a set , let me know the color. Black or Silver $50 a set

My two rear header pipes are blue, not sure it its due to it being to lean? Or if its common for the two rear cylinders to run warmer due to less air flow. My setup is holeshot 4into2, k/n filter, shim under stock needles, 150 main jet. Any suggestions would be great, Thank You

Hey all, I just bought my first V-max (a '89), but at quick glance it's missing a few pieces/parts. To start I'm looking for a set of rear pegs with the mounting studs, a backrest upright and pad, and left side radiator cover. If someone has those part setting around, please let me know...
