replacing

Can someone please tell me what the torque spec is, for the bolt that holds the flywheel to the crankshaft? Also torque for the 3 starter clutch bolts to the flywheel? Thanks, Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any suggestions on how to remove the front turn signals without removing the brake lines? And also, if I dont use a relay for the aftermarket signals, will it hurt my bike?

After putting it off for a year I finally decided to replace/repair my starter clutch. I've been reading Yukon Dave's post over an over again and ordered all the parts I need and just started this process. I'm at the point where I'm attempting to remove the fly wheel. I borrowed a harmonic...

I was reading one of my many moto-magazines and there was a question on what to do when a replacement slide was not available. The first option was replacement rubbers which most of you are already familiar with. The second option was to use Loctite roofing sealant. It sounds like others have...

So about a week ago I did some work to my 97 vmax. Rebuilt the forks (new seals, bushings, fluid, Progressive springs). New wheel bearings. New front brake pads and rotors. I had a problem getting 3 of the rotor bolts out, and ended up welding a nut to the bolt to get them out. I'm...

Greetings fellow Maxxers. I decided to start a new thread on this age old problem. I have a 2000 vmax that for the past month has vexed me starting with the carbs acting up and having issues starting and idle. I did the peashooter and cleaned the hell out of it and it did start and...

Just got new turn signals for Father's Day. Rears went on fine but the front ones are three wire assemblies? Tried both ways and all I get is a solid light with a relay clicking noise when I activate turn switch? Light stays on solid with no blinking. Help please

Getting ready to replace the Stator on my 1995 VMax. Wanting to get an estimated time frame it should take to replace it. Will change oil then as well. any replies very much appreciated. New to posting on VMax Forum. New member

Just bought a LED Headlamp. It came with 2 wires, one for ground and one for 12v. As you know the Vmax comes with 3 wires. The LED Headlamp has the ability to be Hi, Lo and strobe. How do I wire this into the existing 3 wire schematic?

Hi, Over the last four years, I have had to replace the drive shaft seal twice and now it`s leaking again. I`m talking about the seal where the shaft exists the engine block, number 18 in the diagram below. Also, I`ve replaced the bearings 10 and 13, so they are fine. I _think_ it only...

Hi, I'm in the process of lowering my bike, so i bought some steering head bearings to. But is there any actual benefit of replacing the steering head bearings when the one currently in are fine? Thanks!

From reading this thread: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=5329 It sounds like if I'm just switching my stock springs for the stock-replacement ones from Progressive (# 11-1144, NOT the lowering 10-1563 kit) , I should be able to simply remove the top nut, take the spring, washer...

So I'm looking to replace the rear tire on my Yamaha VMX 1200 V-Max 2002 I was wondering if there are any instructional video and/or list of tools needed. I'm also curious to the torque specs needed for the bolt on the rear axle. Any information is highly appreciated.

Well thanks to everybody's help, I got a lot replaced (coolant, oil, gear oil, fuel filter) I guess the last thing on the list is the spark plugs. What do I have to take off / do to get those things off? You can obviously see them but accessing them looks like a different story... Would...

Hi There, looking at replacing the R/R unit on my 85 max as i don't think it has ever been changed and eats the batteries even with an optimate going. Is there a certain spec i need to be looking for?:biglaugh:

I think I may want to replace my Kerker can sometime this year. I've got the comp baffle in it with 70% of the packing removed....so it's rather loud and badass. Does anyone have a recommendation of what can could replace it and still be A) as loud and B) as badass sounding? I thought of even...

I just charged the battery on my 86 Vmax and reinstalled it. But when I try to do the last step of reconnecting the negative lead, it throws sparks and the bike is turning over. There is no key in the ignition and the starter switch is clearly off. Can someone help? Why is the bike...

Ok... some of you may have know this, but I didn't. I have a set of carbs that need a rebuild. I thought the diaphragms could be salvaged, but it turned out they were too hard. As many of you know, there is a guy (Rob) on eBay that sells just the diaphragms (4 for around $70 or $80). I think...

So I discovered my damn drain valve is leaky. Not terrible but it is dripping. I found a thread that explained how to service it, so the first thing I tried was tapping it with a hammer. It didnt help. It leaks in the off position, doesnt in the on. My guess is, if the o-ring isnt shot then its...
