where can I get a rear fender kit to get rid of the big fender and then tuck my tag up close and more cleaner looking, bike aint here yet and I am already looking for mods. Thanks its a 2014 also

Scrubbing the pegs so i am looking at Wr,s rear sets which i like cause they have 5 settings i seen Exectrep sales them to but dont like the looks of them and they dont look like they any settings. So who out here is running rear sets and what brand did you go with?

I tried searching for topics on a good rear tire (mine is wearing thin on the center only - not sure why :biglaugh:). The search function does not work well for me. Anyway, I have a drag race event in a couple weeks and needed to get it replaced. I made the decision today to purchase a Metzeler...

I'm having a problem with my rear tail light on my 85' max. Light stays on even with key out with the ignition in the off position? Removed the seat and I unplugged a one wire(red) connection that lead to the two terminal coil looking thing right on the top. Rear light turned off but now I have...

Hey guys. Hope this hasn't been beat to death, but lots of searching yielded no answers to what I'm after. I just picked up my Vmax and it needs tires. It has a 17" rear wheel, and an 18" front wheel. It currently sports a 170/60zr17 rear tire and a 110/90mc18 front. I don't feel like this is...

Dumped the rear diff for the first time 600 miles. Now have oil leaking at fill plug. Did I maybe overfill it? Whats the proper level? Thanks, Ted B

I know me again lol. Took the bike to work today after installing the new rear Galfer rotor and dp404 pads. After 10 miles or so it started making a loud hum when coming to a stop? Got home and took it apart, cleaned it all again including the pins and the metal thing that sits on top. I scuffed...

Hey Gang, I'm hoping someone can help me. Does anybody know what the size of the holes in the metal inner fender support thingy is? (see red arrow in pic below) (I'm guessing 5/16"..but hard to tell) :ummm: I'm making my own support for the CBR taillight mod, and I do not currently have the...

I just started noticing a noise from my rear wheel when I'm riding, and I hear when I have the bike off and push it. It sounds like a few small clicks, and only on 20% - 30% of the wheel rotation. I can't tell if there's any performance issues. I've taken my brake pads out, in search for a...

Quick question, Is it possible to remove the rear camchain tensioner to install a new gasket without having to go through the timing procedure and subsequently removing the front camchain tensioner/setting the timing? The reason for doing this is I am experiencing a leak from the tensioner...

Mounted a new rear tire & just can not get the splines in the wheel to mesh with the final drive unit Any hints

Can the shock bushings be replaced, or if they are deteriorating does it spell the end of the shocks? Do they need to be pressed in / out? I have progressives on the bike, but don't know how old they are. They SEEM to work fine. I'll post a picture or pictures in a few hours.

Hey fellas, I searched this extensively before posting and I read that a 170/ 80/15 Shinko seems to be the rear tire of choice but I have two questions; First, ALL the vendors on the web say this is NOT compatible with my 07 Gen 1 and Two, why the change from 80 to 90 in the aspect ratio of the...

Has anyone had any experience with rotors like these? Stock ones cost too damn much.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261687070800?lpid=82&chn=ps http://www.ebay.com/itm/EBC-Rear-Brake-Rotor-Yamaha-FJ-1100-1984-1985-FJ-1200-86-95-V-Max-91-02-MD2068-/360817050498

Does anyone know how deep the top rear shock mount is? I guess because my rear setup was widened the actual mounting point cracked. I guess I'll get it welded but was curious how far the threads go into the frame or is it just the tit that sticks out? Anyone's advice is appreciated. Thanks

I presently have a 170/60R18 Pirelli for my rear tire, but it rubs on one side, so I guess I want 160/60R18 so I don't have that problem. I was going to go with an Avon Storm 2, but they are discontinued. I guess I can just get the replacement Storm 3 X-M, but I figure that since I am in...

I think i've decided to get a shinko 230 rear 170 size tire from what i've read about them. It's a cheap tire that is fairly grippy and doesn't last as long as some others. I want a front that I can push a little harder than the average guy in the corners. I thought about running a 150 rear for...

Edited for content

oil runs down left exaust at rear of engine. I think I can see it misting a bit in that area when running but cant pinpoint the source. How hard a fix? Ok
