I see a lot of raving about the Max Gasser and a slew of others using the other seat options like the Corbin, Sportmax, Morley's Muscle etc. I really don't have any interest in the first 2 due to the layouts. I really like the idea of a reformed/remade stock seat. I've had the chance to...

Could someone please tell me the uncompressed length of stock forks. I've admitted defeat and a mate is turning up some fork extensions for my R1 forks.

My recently purchased 86 Max came with SuperTrapp Slip-on's that were in terrible condition so I chunked them and installed the stock mufflers. I found out that the bolt that connects the mufflers under the center stand is missing. Does anyone know what size it is and if I can get one at Home...

I recently purchased an 86 Max that was worked on by someone with very limited mechanical skills. I just had the carbs cleaned out and it appears that the previous owner drilled out the main jets. Someone with the proper skills could make them work but this guy drilled them all different...

This is my first vmax, and ive never seen or heard a vmax in person before... I bought it with electrical problems and fixed it so now it runs. I know it has full kerker 4 into 1 exhaust, buts all I saw that has been done to it. Does this sound like a stock motor or has it been modified? It...

Are the caliper kits for the front and rear of the VMax (1986) the same part? The part numbers are similar but not identical.

How would I go about adding a hose barb fitting to a stock tank. If I can do this, I may have come up with a reasonable solution for my super cheap aux tank project. The fitting would come off the right side under the fender between the plastic mud guard thing and the frame. It would not...

So I'm (probably) trying to pick up the hindle that's in the for sale section because it's cheap and close. I've been reading the stock carb setup thread looking and have seen lots of you have Sean's jet kit/airbox mod with a hindle. Is it reasonable to run a hindle 4-1 with stock carbs and some...

What side is the valve stem on a stock setup? I assume the front is on the right side (sitting on the bike) as most are due to sidestand lean but on the rear there is more room on the pumpkin side, so i'm just curious which side yamaha put it on? thanks!

I have just acquired a 1989 V-max. It is stock, has 17,000 miles, and has been sitting for 4 or 5 years. I'm working on getting it running, and among other things, it need new tires. I want to stay with stock size tires, and am considering either: Bridgestone G525 / G526 or Dunlop...

Danny has my carbs and I was wondering what a good size main jet is to start out with on a all stock drive train minus a full length UFO 4-1 exhaust. Thanks

In reinstalling my front header pipes, I've realized that the flanges are not symmetrical . Looking from the top down, which way is correct, A or B? They seem to fit both ways. Can't find the answer in the manual.

Recently obtained the Morley HD Oiling kit. Must remove exhaust system to install. Assume everybody knows this. Went to right side of bike and put the proper socket on the big nut that screws into the nut behind the flange on top of the megaphone right behind the passenger peg mount. Hard to...

So I was looking on bikebandit, and they have the california needles, or the 49 state needles. Are the California needles adjustable? If so, is that the only difference?

When I bought my 06 last year it didn't come with the tool kit. I've never adjusted the stock rear shocks and I think it's about time I tried. What kind of wrench can I use without damaging the shock and do you guys have any suggestions as to the setting for a 225lb rider with about 20 lbs of...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone is running stock Main Jets with the setup as stated in the manual. Carb 1 and 3 Mukini 152.5, Carb 2 and 4 Mukini 150.0 I've been looking at the threads and it seems like people are running the same Jets on all 4 carbs. I have F.P. Needles shimmed to center...

When I bought my 2001 Vmax it was apparent the the PO had drilled, or punched out the baffles on the original mufflers. I my opinion all this does is make the bike louder, and in fact hurts overall performance and rideability. I found a used unmolested set of cans on eBay, and with the help...

The PO had drilled out the baffles on my vmax, so I bought another set of cans, and am having trouble installing them. I saw the thread on how to remove the mufflers, but then how do you get the pipes back on? I struggled for hours tonight trying to get the stock mufflers back on my '01. I...

Hi, I'm trying to get morley jet kit working with stock needle at sealevel. The stock needle doesn't seem to have adjustment possibilities. The bike pulls great with WOT at 5-7k, but when I'm not really full trottle, 2/3 of WOT maybe and going through 5-7K, it's very rough and there's a...
