replacement

I was quite sick of the stock mirrors which I am sure most of you can relate. So, I started shopping around for an inexpensive alternative, then I came across these on Amazon for $18! Stems are chrome plated steel and mirrors are in an ABS plastic housing. Mirrors actually didn't look too bad...

As some of you know, I've the infatuation with LED's. I've got about a dozen projects in the fire right now for LED upgrades on my Vmax. The most recent being a replacement for the stock turn signal bulbs on the front of my motorcycle. I plan on replacing the rear break light and turn signals...

I recently added the CBR tailight mod to my '89 and LOVE it! While at Wal-mart the other day, I noticed in their trailer lighting section, an LED light that I thougt might work so I picked it up. Here it is: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Blazer-International-4-Sealed-LED-Running-Board-Light/19853236...

Need new or used front three wire turn signal bulbs. 1987 Vmax 1200

Sorry but I have not pictures here, but this is posted because like most males, I try to do it "my way." Removing the stock exhaust is no big deal. You can follow the steps in the factory manual. However, "replacement is NOT necessarily the reverse of removal," at-least it wasn't for me. I...

I am replacing my fuel filter on a Gen1 Today, is there anything i need to know?.. Will fuel pressure build back up when the ignition is on and the fuel pump engages? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Have a 98, it sit outside for years. The rubber joints connecting the carbs to the intake look pretty bad, ie, cracked rubber. Have not taken off carbs and done inspection but from what I can see, they are pretty bad, especially around the band clamps. Some of you experienced hands know what I...

Hi, I'm new here but am already enjoying this forum, it rocks! :punk: I'll post some pics of my bike when I get a chance. Has anyone here replaced the stock tacho on their max? I want to do something similar to the picture below, but will replace the stock tacho with a voltmeter instead of...

Not which brand, or sintered/non-sintered.....know I'll get another set of the "HH" pads. The front pads in there are starting to squeak with around 20k miles on them and many, many dusty wheel cleanings. I can see the inner pad on each side is gone and the outers are just a sliver. Problem...

Hey all, Ordered a Barnett Clutch kit that comes in tomorrow. Never rebuilt one before, does anyone have a link to rebuild instructions? I dug around on here but couldn't find one. Also, I downloaded the repair manual off of vmaxoutlaw.com, but didn't see a section in it for rebuilding the...

Hi All, Finally getting new rubber for my 04' stock rear wheel. Looking at the Metzeler's but confused by the ratings. The OEM's have a V rating. When I look at the big selling sites, I see the Metzeler 880 170/80/15 have an H or HB rating? Can I use these? Not sure what the HB rating...

Hey guys, Anyone out there have a messed up set of Dale Walker slip-ons that the nameplate might still be good on? I figure it's long shot but worth asking. My other side is shot and I already removed it. Thanks in advance.................

I got really tired of seeing little more than my shoulders and elbows in my VMax's mirrors and started looking for replacements. I contacted Sean Morley at Morley's Muscle - and he sent me a few different sets to try out. All were really nice alternatives to the stock ones, well made and very...

Where can I buy a replacement clutch switch?

I have acquired a replacement for the plug in connector at the stator (generator, alternator, magneto etc.) These are a direct replacement for what is on the 1st gen bike from the factory. General recommendation is to eliminate this connection, I am aware of that. However, I prefer to have...

I posted several times about carb flooding problems asking for help. I replaced needles, set float heights, checked fuel pressure, etc. but nothing helped. I suspected the needle seats but could not find anyone that had ever replaced any. yamaha made it difficult to replace them so I avoided it...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on this forum for a long time. I live in Hungary, but will be returning soon to the U.S. and reunited with my beloved '85 V-Max. a friend has been taking care of it for me. The starter clutch was grinding and missing pretty bad when I left, and my friend says it has...

My Max's airbox release key was missing when I got it last August. The PO rigged up a wire to the latch, and release is effected by pulling down on the wire. I'd like to fix that by getting a replacement key, or maybe a new lock, or maybe a...?
