wheel

Hey all, I just placed on my new shinko tires with a 170 rear. My bike only has about 6100 miles and this is its first replacement tire. When placing on the static balancer, the rear wheel took me 8 - 1/4oz lead weights to balance. Is this right? I have never on my other 2 vmax's used that...

I'm working on an 85 or 86 front wheel. The Shop Manual Warning is as follows: Yamaha has determined that a problem exists in the front wheel distance collar on 85 and 86 model VMax's. Yamaha replaced the original stepped distance collar with a straight collar. Inspect the distance collar in...

Anyone knows if there is a way to install a 2 gen rear wheel on a 1 gen vmax???

Probably a simple question for you experienced vmax owners...I upgraded to a progressive spring up front and when I put everything back together and reinstalled the front brakes I noticed that before the calipers went on, the front wheel spun very easily, but once I slid the calipers back on...

:ummm:anyone polished their own stock wheels to a mirror like finish? what was the process, the materials used(sandpaper,waxes,etc.). Where did you get the materials and how did they turn out?:bang head:

Hello everyone I have a quick question, I've always heard that a stock Vmax rear tire is offset to the right a little bit but mine seem to be offset to the left about 1/2" or so? I'm getting ready to send a wheel to Kosman and I want to have it done at 18"x 6" and run a gen 2 rear tire 200/50-18...

.....stripped bearings out of front wheel and sent it for powdercoating, got it back and can't remember which is the speedo drive side! Appreciate any help, cheers, David

Does any one know what brand wheel this is ? Seller said it was stock.LOL I bought it just wondering what it is since it has not arived here yet.

I've bought a 900 diversion rear wheel and a Thundercat front wheel, also had a rear spindle and spacers made. Now I'm looking at tyre choices and think the rear will look too weak and thin, has anyone got a wider rear wheel that will fit straight on the original spindle and sit centrally. I...

Wondering if it at all possible to swap out a stock Gen 1 wheel to a Gen 2.

i have tried to search but did not find what i was interested in, has anyone tried to put these wheels or wheel on the gen 1 ?

Should I live with it or is there a fix for this? I thought Boxenstopp had one but couldn't find it in their catalog.

Hi all, I need a measurement from the stock rear wheel, and would prefer not to have to take mine off to get it. If anyone has one laying around, and can get me the measurement, I would be appreciative. I need the measurement from the rim lip to the differential side upper most lip, as if...

I went to my local dealer for getting a set of radial tires, unfortunately the 110/80 is not available. He told me some other v-max guys did fit the 120/70 although not sure if it was really on the narrow stock wheel and I don't know the real output. I'm thinking to get a set of Metzeler Roadtec...

hey anyone have a front wheel laying around they can grab a few measurements for me quick? 1 - distance between the inside of the two rotors (mating surface to mating surface) 2 - distance between the outside of the two bearings. Thanks!

I have a 1990 vmax. Need to replace rear wheel bearings. Has anybody tried driving old bearings out with a socket? What has worked for you? Thanks:ummm:

looks like we may be doing some new wheels before too long if everything works out. Can't make any promises yet but we are working on it! Not sure what patterns we are going to make yet but it may be possible to have a custom pattern made to order. We will of course try to offer the pattern that...

Enjoying my last day of vacation and found this. From Pinks All Out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oveOQIXeiw&feature=player_embedded Story Got one better?? Any reason the youtube embed code is set so small?

I got a new ME-880 back tire in Friday, took the wheel off to go get it mounted and checked the wheel bearings. Felt like they had gravel in them. *&#@%^ @&*#!! Had to take it to Yamaha and they cut it out with a dremel because it was seized in there. $85 later, and I still need new bearings...

Anybody seen this concept bike from Yamaha? It's Called a Tesseract. I tried to get get a link to it but it's just not working for me. I guess you can google it. Maybe Someone can get a link working. Maybe it's this Damn work computer. Just think a 4 wheel V-MAX. :ummm:
