replacement

I require replacement rotors front & rear for my 1985 Max. The are at the minimum thickness spec. Can anybody recommend a good quality replacement rotor as there seems to be few different styles & grades of rotors available. I don't use the bike too hard but want good stopping power.

Hi everyone, just wondering where to go to get a stock replacement seat cover for my 97? The stock vinyl is worn and altho there are no holes yet, I want to get one before it wears thought to my seat foam. ps on hot days the seat gets realy sicky:damn angry: which I understand, is the vinyl...

Hi Guys, I've removed my carbs and rebuilding and cleaning. In my rebuild kit, the float needle comes with a new brass housing as well but I don't see how to get the old one out??? It looks like it pushes down in from the top but it is capped off. Should I remove and replace or just use the...

Mine are really rusty - what is a good source for these? Thanks - Jeff

Does anyone know if there is a non-locking replacement gas cap for our VMAX? Mine, the key is sticking and thats after I have applied WD-40. I figure one day, I will probably snap off the key in the lock and be screwed.

Im replacing the clutch tomorrow. Is there a how to on this with pics? If not ill make one up :) Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

O.K. Here goes my first attempt at posting a thread to help others if they find themselves wanting or needing to replace the bearings in the steering neck. First off, I did this in my carport in about 6 hours over 2 days. I had to borrow a spanner wrench so I could set the bearings, more on that...

i 'm rebuilding the clutch on my 87 VMAX and was wondering which way to go in terms of clutch kits. Im changing friction and clutch plates. Tks Max

Just ordered the barnet clutch plates and the spring conversion to fit. Does anyone know what sise the clutch boss nut is so I can make sure I have the right size on hand. Just hate getting it stripped down and finding its a bigger size than I have in the set lol. Any tips or hints would be...

I just replaced my bulging battery, and she coughed straight back into life. However, checking the voltage across the terminals while idling at around 1000rpm, it was around 15V, jumping to 17V if I increased the revs. So the R/R is cooked, I think? Looking at options in the UK...

I think I'm losing a little oil from the gasket on cylinder 3 (according to Haynes manual, rear, right). I've cleaned it all up today and will apply talc when totally dry to verify that's where it's coming from. I'm questioning exactly what needs to be done to replace it. The Haynes manual...

Not a bike post, but this might save you sometime. I had a poorly-functioning ignition lock cylinder on my Camry, or so I thought. The shop said, "let's try a new key from the dealer made from your VIN." It's not a 'chip' key. No RFID code in the key body. It cost $12. The new key worked...

I'm thinking of replacing my handle bar controls with some M-Switch in my continuing quest to simplify and clean up the ride. My issue now the throttle. Does anyone know of a unit that is just the throttle/throttle cable housing?

I have a badly corroded drain cock assembly (Yamaha part no. 1FK-12560-01-00) that's causing a leak after re-assembly. I found this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-VMX1200-VMAX-V-Max-2WE-Lower-Metal-Water-Pipe-Drain-/310646307089 But at that price, I'm wondering if it...

I'm replacing my seat soon. I've never had all 3 sections off before. Could someone with experience give me some tips on how to get my seat off? Thanks

The previous owner has grounded the wire going to the neutral switch so that the neutral switch stays on all the time. This seems to override all the other safety switches also. What is involved in replacing the neutral switch? I was hoping that I didn't have to take the cover off behind the...

I'm looking for some covers that are missing on my '91 V-Max, and mostly failing to even determine their proper name. The previous owner went to a parts centre and they pored over the microfiche without success. They are covers just above the air scoops, and are plastic (I think). The only thing...

I replaced the fluid level site glass's on both master cylinders and so far, no leaks. The clutch side has a little metal frame that I knocked out with the old window, there is also a slotted plate behind the glass that makes it easier to see the fluid level, but that got bent up so I didn't...

I would like to get my seat recovered , does anyone know were I could find a site that sells replacement seat cover ? Thanks

New, old member here. Been riding motorcycles for over 35 years. I had a awesome show and go 1991 Vmax back in 2008. I joined here back then and got some great info and advice. Sold it during a weak moment when big $$$$ was offered for it but I knew I would have another someday. Have gone...
