tank

does anybody know if there is a aftermarket larger fuel tank for the 2nd gen vmax:ummm:

I was advised to get some POR 15 and recoat my tank. There was a lot of crap in it. Glad I did it. It was a pretty easy process, following the instructions and a lot of rolling the tank around. The only problem I have is there are 2 places to connect hoses, one is obviously the fuel supply...

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...

duss aneyone know were i can by one of thes fals tanks :confused2::confused2:

So I think I might try this as an option. I believe it's an FZ1 tank that's been cut up more than a little bit. I have a spare faux tank cover, and I'm thinking that I might have a local shop cut the bottom out of an FZ1 tank (which they have) and welding it to my extra faux tank. This would...

So how hard do you guys think this would be to fabricate. I think I could get it done with 6 pieces of sheet metal, plus some donor parts from a stock tank (vent tube, feed line, neck/cap). I'm thinking it could either be suspended from my luggage rack with brackets, or on four arms that replace...

I didn't know that my Drag bars were low enough to let the throttle cables hit the faux tank at full right turn before the factory stop limits the handle bar travel, left side switch housing also hit. So here's the fix. 1/4-20 stainless allen set screws and loctite, an adjustable remedy for that...

Why does the tank vent pipe have such a tiny restrictor hole on the end? I ask because I sort of filled mine up a bit with Red Kote when I was treating tanks. I guess I let it sit the wrong way a little too long, and the excess didn't drip out of there. I've reamed it out with a violin string...

Ok guys I know you have diffrent methods, so how do you clean out your tanks?

I apologize if this has been discussed. I tried to search for this subject but came up empty. I recently purchased a 2003 VMAX Gun Metal Grey with Silver Stripes on the tank. The stripes on the tank are scraped up a bit so I was thinking of removing them. I cannot tell if there is a layer...

I pulled the sensor out of my rust fuel tank this afternoon. The sensor sure looks like it has seen better days. Is there a way to test it out before reinstalling it? I don't want to put it in if it don't work obviously. If I do reinstall it and it doesn't work, can I jump t out somehow...

Has anyone tried to protect thier fuel tank from the nasty's they call fuel these days? I know they did not have these fuels as a norm back in the Gen1 days and did not coat the tanks with anything. I was wondering if they made the newer tanks to handle the excess water buildup, rust...

Hey everyone. I am the proud new owner of a left over 2012 flat black 'max. I've got just over 200 miles on the clock and I JUST noticed a TON of scratches on the lower part of the false gas tank cover (nearest to the driver). It looks HORRIBLE - WTF?!?! Is the paint THAT crappy? This is a...

Hi. Wondering if anybody has any experience with this fuel tank extension from Germany? http://www.v-max-f-maerz.de/vmaxkatalog/750/754c_en.html I've got an '06 VMax. Love it. Hate the cruising range. Old issue I know. I've reviewed various options, including faux tank replacements and...

Finally got so.e time in the garage... Using a Suzuki 250 Across fuel.tank and custom made unit...ups capacity to 18-19 litres...

I'm about to attach the Yamaha tuning fork stock tank emblems to my VMax (the replacement factory carbon fibre tank used in the rebuild came without emblems), and wanted to know if others had done it and knew of the best way to do so. I've read something like this is the way to go...
