Third Wheel Trailer Took it up to 130mph on highway 😇. Hard to resist the twist when someone else is driving faster. Really solid riding and felt good about the experience. Could not go faster because of losing rear wheel grip in rainy roads 😇. #crazy yes I know but was still exhilarating 🤷🏻‍♂️...

Hello, I took my bike out for a ride after yesterday after replacing one valve gasket (as it was leaking slightly). The bike has been standing for a few months, and after launching I noticed I was not getting full power. Upon investigation, it turned out to be a spark problem on one of the...

Hi everybody. I'm replacing the gasket (part # 3JP-12449-02-00) for the water pump on my '89 Max, and I'm wondering if I should pre-soak it in coolant, install it dry, or do something else to it before installing. Any suggestions? Thanks very much. Elimax

Just an fyi, when you are flushing or replacing your coolant and want to remove the four rubber plugs on the cylinder sleeves, if you dont have a spare spark plug laying around you can always use a garden variety 4mm x 0.70p bolt or screw. Peace

I bought a bike that had been in the weather, it had water in the oil, changed the oil 3 times seems to have almost solved issue, except I have a clear clutch cover and can see small amounts of clear water, I pulled the clutch pack soaked it reinstalled, but still see water, is this condensation?

Right about now I'm feeling like a genius and wanted to share my discovery. I've started to restore the '85 that I purchased new in my youth. Been wanting to replace the gouged up cover for years and finally starting searching the 'bay for one. What they're asking for one in mediocre shape seems...

First off let me apologize, I know there has got to be a thread on here that will answer my question but for some reason my phone will not allow me to select the search option on here. Anyways, I have a 2006 Vmax and I've noticed a small coolant leak coming from the weap hole on the water pump...

Does anyone have a spare cover they care to sell? For some reason the center of the cover rattles like crazy and it's kinda pissing me off a little lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noticed a small leak under bike, it's coming from the Water Pump Housing but it's tightened up well....what can I expect to find behind the cover ??? Expensive ?

I need to know if the cooling system "joint" pictured below is threaded into the other parts. Mine is leaking (but bandaged) and I will be ordering the joint and the o-rings. When I pull it apart, I need to know if there are any other gaskets I need to worry about, or can I just simply replace...

We've had a week or so of 100 degree weather. I ride EVERY DAY in Los Angeles to and from work (for the past 22 years) but I especially noticed the bike running hotter than usual a few late afternoons last week, and some overflow from the down-tube of the coolant reservoir dripping beneath the...

Hiya all; Wondering... I replaced the water pump seal and gaskets on my 06 last year. I used ALL new OEM gaskets seals etc. When I first cracked the case with the 9 or so bolts for the first time, I noticed that from the factory, Yamaha had applied a thin bead of black silicone from the...

I have some noise coming from my water pump by the sounds of it. I put and auto scope on it and many other areas of the engine and seems very prominent in the pump area. I wanted to know before I pull it off the bike and start digging if any of the fellow forum vmax owners have encountered or...

Hello all. New to this forum but not to the endless joys of riding motorcycles. Need some help from forum members. I am looking at buying a 2005 vmax but has a oil leak. It is the right side gasket for the water pump along with the 3 o rings. He said the shop can do the fix for $300 bucks. The...

In the next month I want to do the following three tings to my 85vmax 1; Replace all the water hoses with silicone hoses. I see some cheap Chinese ones and was wondering if they were any good or if someone has used them and they are ok or rubbish? 2;my bike has a little tappet noise on the...
