shop

I'm looking to do some upgrades/dyno tuning etc... I'd rather not take my bike to a random local Yamaha dealer, so maybe someone here can help. Does anyone know of a reputable dealer/shop on or near Long Island ? Or in the Tri-State area within an hour or so from Nassau. Thanks

After seeing some interest in the red & white tank Honda CB350 in the "women & bikes" thread (page 19, post #182), I thought I would post-up some pics that have relevance to what bikes or pics were there. My friend's shop sells accessories-lots of accessories, and parts for bikes. Here are...

I invented a re-use for my wife's throw away laundry detergent containers. She uses the liquid detergent. There is always some left in the bottom of the bottle, it just will not come out. I fill with hot water and take it to the shop. When I need a quick wash of my hands I push the button valve...

Does anyone know of a good shop in either Mid to lower Louisiana, or the Houston area where i could get my bike tuned at? I don't know how to do carb adjustments myself and i believe it is running a little rich (just my opinion, i could be wrong). I'm running a little seafoam through it now...

Just wanted to pop in and tell everyone the news. Took the Max to The Bike Shop yesterday. I decided to give ol' Hector some work over the Winter and he can check the valves and the starter problem too. I really wanted to do the carb work but... well, what can I say? I'm lazy I guess. I'm sure...

So I am having issues with my carbs I think I need to go though and clean them. Also one of my AF screws is in bad shape the guy that owned my max before me must have drilled them out and went to far on one and now I turned it some and it won't turn anymore and bike won't start now. so i need a...

Can anyone recommend a good Vmax mechanic/shop in the Seattle area? Preferably not a dealership?

Hello everyone i recently bought a 1985 Max and love it, when i got it it wouldn't hold an idle and would only run with the choke on, but aclerated fine. Doing some research on here i figured the carbs needed redone since the bike had been sitting for a while. I took it to a local shop they said...

I'm trying to find a hard cover shop manual for the 05 and up, does anyone have one? Has anyone ever seen one lol? I keep looking on eBay but all I can find is the older one for 85 - 03. If someone sees one for sale let me know please.

I've been wanting to work on the bike and get it running a little better ever since I got it. Unfortunately I never really get time to work on it. What time I do get is in the garage after the kids are in bed and I cant run it. So I'm thinking about breaking down and taking it into a shop. I...

I'm on the verge of recreating my '04 as followes: mark's exhaust Morley jet kit yellow paint job powder coated wheels My problem is deciding on a color combo that is subtle, yet visually appealing and nothing over the top,( no 'cards in the spokes' and rotating beacons ). Right now I'm looking...

I'm sure someone has asked this before but.... I'm looking at shop manuals for the VMAX and all the ones I've found say that they apply to the model years 1985 to 2003. Mine is an 04 is there ANYTHING about the 04 to 08 models that's different? What about the difference between Clymer and...
