stock

It was raining over the weekend so kept the mistress in the garage but took it out yesterday and oh my! When I start the bike there is an extra note in the exhaust. No loud backfire, but just an additional higher pitched "farting" that does not sound attractive at all. It almost sounds like I...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd0r7J1caZs&feature=youtube_gdata_player Anyone ever done this? My only concern is drilling holes in the pipe. But i guess if you ever wanted it back to stock sound, you could rivet the holes shut again and nobody would ever know. Sent from my SPH-D710 using...

I've got the original exhaust on my '85. No road rash at all, but a lot of dings and dents (nothing really big) along the sides of the mufflers. D'MAN999 gave me a set of stock pipes, well rashed along the lip at the rear of the mufflers. I plan on using a Dremel tool to cut a nice flame...

Looking for a stock windshield for a 2005 VMAX

I have read that you can not put radial tires on the stock Vmax rims, why ??? I remember when radial tires came out in the 60's and I was able to put them on stock auto rims. I would like to put radial tires on when it comes time to change ( about 2000 mi) I have also read that the stock...

I'm looking to buy some stock mufflers. Like these. Just looking for something cheap to modify. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-VMX1200-VMX12-VMAX-V-MAX-EXHAUST-PIPES-MUFFLERS-HEADERS-Nice-/251249636577?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7fa534e1&vxp=mtr Thanks

Anyone know how to space the rear stock wheel. I put a 170 80 15 metzler on and it hits every half turn so i need to move the rim to the right. I know other have done this and i would like to see how and pics would be great. Thanks..............MIKE

I just recieved a great looking adapter to run the larger rotor on my back wheel with the stock caliper. The kit came with the adapter plate, two spacers/bushings, and two stainless bolts. My question is how does this install. I am hopeing that someone has a picture on one installed that I can...

I have been reading this site, Im new to it and I love it. Tons of good information. I was wondering, and I havent found a thread yet, can the scoops on the side of the carb, tanks be used or set up as ram air? I saw some aftermarket ones for sale, which were very overpriced. I was wondering if...

This is not a stock needle pretend it is ok. The plastic piece goes first into the slide then does the shim go in after that or put the needle in second then the shim on top of the stock needle?

My cousin just got a gen 2 vmax and has the 240 rear conversion on order. I like the stock rear wheel (6 x 18) which still has the stock tire (200/50R18) and will buy it off him if there is any way to make it fit on my gen 1. I know that to get a 200 on the swing arm needs to be notched. What I...

the V i just bought has stock exhaust. A former owner drilled out the rivets and did something , remove/drill out baffles., and then reriveted it to look stock. It's cool for the 1st mi but after going out for 50 ....I don't wanna hear it coming back and would prefer to bring it to stock...

I'm trying to black out a majority of my max and its been a long process and one of the last pieces are the rear shocks. I don't mind the stock feel but I do mind the chrome and slight rust. I thought if I could disassemble the rear shocks it would be easier to paint/powder coat the parts i...

What price should I put on a set of rims from a 2004 with 20K miles.

Hello all I pulled my tripple trees to inspect my head bearing & realized they have been replaced the bearings & races look imaculate no pits,marks,nothing as was the grease looks like they used blue marine grease.. So I went on to check my front spring cause another member drove my bike & said...

I have a bone stock 2005 Vmax. Has an annoying stumble in the 2500 rpm range, and may be associated with a quiet backfire from the left exhaust pipe. More like a burp actually. After that, on up in rpm its fine, seems to be worse under hotter/more humid conditions. I suspect the airbox is a...

I'm looking for a stock grab bar in decent shape. Thanks Eric

Alright. I *might* have a little bit of money left over. Not nearly as much as I wanted, I was planning on getting the rear foot shifters from Morely, or his jet kit. Sadly, money flys when you actually have it and now there is only a little bit left. One thing that I do think is function...

I was reading in the FAQ's. and it was suggested that the forks be lowered 1" inside the triple tree, and that the forks themselves them be collapsed 1.25-1.5 inches. How do you lower the shocks themselves? Lowering them inside the triple tree is self explanatory, but how do you lower them...

I needed to have my fork seals done, the shop I usually take my bike to charges $160 to do em. I decided to do them myself after reading on here that it wasn't too difficult. Thanks to Morley's YouTube vids on the subject, I was able to do the job. I also decided to use the $$ I was saving and...
