My buddy was tired of seeing me scream by him on his old Harley, not sure what it was. I kept telling him to get a v max. So he got a v rod, probably because he already had a Harley jacket, and I'm still screaming by him. But he can certainly keep up now. I'm anxiouse to ride it to see how the...

Anyone know where the pictures are of different and stock metering rods for Gen 1? I once saw pictures of the metering rods on this site and I have tried finding them again now and I haven't been able to. I just want to know which rods are stock, which ones are aftermarket for Gen 1's. Perhaps...

Parting out 88 Vmax and some parts off an 06. The 88 was doing great till about 3 weeks ago when one of the rods punched a 6" hole in the front of the case.... Replaced it with an 06 which needed some TLC and swapped the stuff I liked with the the stuff I didn't. So if you're in the mkt for max...

I have been scratching my head on this one, I ordered Race Tech emulators for my 07 VMAX. After I disassemble, I found the damping rod inner seat was 26 mm and the emulator was 29 mm. I have contacted Race Tech and my local yamaha dealer. No one can figure out why my damping rods are...

I managed to broke one of damper rods "spindle tapers" see attachment photo. I ordered new to my vmax 2003, part #GM-23173-00-00 it looks totally diffrent( see attachment) The part I ordred cannot be the right one, damper rod do not fit in my opinion, the damper rod do not come out enough...

My long time neighbor of 30 years and Wife's friend from school bought a vehicle titled as a 30 Ford today. I thought he was buying a POS but it's actually pretty cool for 8 Grand. Complete drive train includes a 305 Chevy with headers. newer matching tranny, driveshaft, rear end. He even got 1...

Any thoughts here, I think my vmax is leaking engine oil out of the clutch push rod. I also noticed my 85 motor does not seem to have a place for a seal (around the clutch pushrod that goes into the engine) unlike like my 86 motor. Was this a design change. Thank you

Price is too good to pass up Engine is removed and in pieces Even if i only use it as a parts bike its well worth the $1000 I'm paying for it

Hi, I am trying to find the correct thicknesses for connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing shells but ran into an issue. For crankshaft main bearings you need the markings on the crankshaft and the outside of the engine block. The first one no problem, the engine mount where the numbers...
