wheel

This has nothing to do with a Vmax but somehow, given some of the more extreme things I've seen done to our beloved, this just reminds me of of the bike. You can read more about it HERE.

Would the rear wheel from the Yamaha FJR-1300 fit on a 1st Gen Max? I do like the looks of that one, and I am certain I could find an 18" front that looks really close in design. (Or I could go with the FJR-1300 front wheel possibly which would be a good match)

When running in neutral on the centerstand, I see some videos of guys rear wheel turning a bit when they blip the throttle. My FZ1 used to do this so I know its normal sometimes, but the Max doesn't. Is my clutch still screwed up, or do most of you guys' rear wheels stay stationary when blipping...

I want to re-do the wheels on my Z in a solid gloss black. I've been waiting until it was tire change time so I could do it while the tires would be off anyway, and now it's that time. Several people have recommended I get them powdercoated, citing better durability. However, of three local...

Hi everybody! New here. Have a stock canadian '98 Vmax. I like the look as it is, but would like a little "badass" look to it. I am getting it lowered a bit, and thinking about a wider tire. I like the fatness of the stock one, but would like it to be wider. Anyone had experience with a 16x5,5"...

This is supposed to be easy right ? Tire came off OK. Had the rim polished. I'm trying to remount but the drive shaft/ rim gears are not seating right. I've cleaned and greased everything but can not get the tire to seat properly. I've rotated and jiggled the tire, nothing seems to help. even...

Hello, I live in Sweden and I recently found a set of used swingarm and widened OEM rear wheel with brakes for 1100usd on the Swedish equivalent of craigslist. http://www.blocket.se/lulea/V_Max_bakhjul_och_sving_46452067.htm?ca=11&w=3 My question is how do i know if these stuff are good...

Carrozzerria recommends Pledge polish for their wheels. I've rubbed on 3 coats on my black anodized wheels which look good but wondering if their is something better? I haven't had mine on the road very much yet and I'm concerned on how the Pledge will react to moisture, brake dust, rock/...

Wife hit a curb while turning and it appears to have taken a notch (1/2 inch) out of the rim. Tire still holds air but sustained sidewall damage so will have to be replaced. Is rim OK or will this also need replacement?

So, quick question here: has anyone ever had a final drive bearing go bad? The reason I'm asking is because when I put my max on the center stand and rotate the tire it's rather hard to rotate and you can hear what definitely sounds like a bad bearing. I know it is not the wheel bearing as I...

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 have some dymag aluminum wheels that I am cleaning up. I can get them to shine up but there is some discoloration in the aluminum. Any guidance as to how to get these things back to tip top shape being clean? There is no signs of pitting, its just like discoloration on them. I have tried...

your chance at a collectors item..actualy looks like a nice bike but he def drank the Koolaide.. http://chico.craigslist.org/mcy/3640123227.html

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...

Is it possible to disassemble the rear wheel for so that I can powder coat it? It has pins and rubber isolators that need to be removed without destroying them. They are expensive to replace new. Thanks!

Hello My div wheel doesnt have the cush drive. can i use the vmax one? if not, anyone got one for sale? many thanks alex

did the rear wheel needle bearing inner race change length at some time on the run of vmaxs? working on a old kosman rear wheel and the inner race is 35mm long. i had a spare one sitting on my shelf which was 32mm long. did the inner tube maybe change at some point? i gotta imagine the...

The site is not translated much, but just barely enough to navigate around. They have some badass stuff besides this wheel. This one has no offset. They have offset wheels at 2mm and 7mm (オフセット translates to offset[thanks google!]) 126000 yen is about $1600. http://www.over.jp/item/82-34-03F/

Well I was. Going to tightening my starter clutch bolts. But when removing my fly wheel one of the bolts I had holding puller broke and sent puller side ways and dented. The thin metal on inside rounded edge. Makeing a slightbunp out wards on inside is there any chance on it being fixed and or...
