I was at lunch the other day and was just surfing the web and figured I'd check this online auction that I get emails for. I notice a motorcycle auction, so I had to check it out. Scrolling through the listings and there was this 2005 Vmax!, almost went right past it. Looked at the time left...

Will need painting. Brake pads are included. I got them with a set of forks I bought but I have 6 piston calipers I will be using and don't need these. Whoever had them before had globs of black paint on them that I cleaned off. See pics. $20 plus shipping Thanks,

I was looking around on ebay this morning and came across a stainless steel oil filter for $120. Seems like a good chunk of change but then I wondered about how effective they are? Anyone on here use them or just thoughts in general? Here is a link to one article I read, though they seem to...

Yesterday I was syncing the carbs and every so often there's a little pop of air coming back through the sync port...maybe every 10 seconds or so, otherwise there's a vacuum there. The little pop is strong enough though, that it will blow the sync hose off the port after around 5 or 6 pops. I...

About a month ago I was searching around on Craigslist looking for a Vmax for my wife and I ran across a post in Kentucky for one that was being parted out. I thought the phone number looked familiar, and I pm'd Texas SS Tornado here on the forum, and sure enough it was his! I asked him what...

I found this post in the craigslist rant n rave section. I'm not meaning to crack on Harleys here but I did get a couple of laughs out of it... http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/rnr/3809679952.html riders be safe (hondaville) Harley riders, please check the list...

So, I bought this 2006 Vmax that had been in some sort of weird accident. I got it for a good price, but not sure if I want to fix it up and keep or sell or part it out... The bad: handlebars are bent, some road rash on the clutch master cylinder, left footpegs, windshield/flyscreen and left...

There's an '85 Vmax on Ebay that the owner says 2nd gear has been replaced with the "billeted titanium equivalent." Anyone ever hear of these titanium gears? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1985-V-MAX-All-Original-Yamaha-VMAX-/320915447596?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item4ab80d1f2c

In the February issue of Motorcyclist magazine there is an article that describes how riders/racers? shift gears simply by letting off the throttle for a second to upshift and giving the bike some throttle for a second to downshift without having to use the clutch. Apparently, this throttle...

I've been reading a lot of the posts on tuning the Vmax carbs but I haven't run across anything like where to start, and everything that should be done. I don't get to ride much and while I'm not having any problems at all, I kind of want to become familiar with this if/when something does...

Hi everyone, I am in the middle of writing an 8 page paper on age discrimination and affirmative action, and kinda bored, so I was wondering if anyone on here had some thoughts on this? Thanks

So I got into a big argument with my boss over my schoolwork. Had to take two tests and couldn't come in one day last week. He didn't like it and fired me, even though I was going to college before I started the job :damn angry: I figure I have this week to find a job or the Vmax I've waited...

Joe Rocket Leather Jacket, pictures added Selling a Joe Rocket Leather Jacket. It's a size 50 and is in good shape except for one button missing on the wrist. Has all the armor but does NOT have a removable liner. I like the jacket but I'm 5'11" and 230 pounds and I can barely zip it up and...

For some reason there is no YAMAHA emblem on my rear fender. I ordered it from the dealer and am due to pick it up tomorrow or the next day. Can anyone give me a measurement from the back of the reflector/grab bar area to the top of the emblem so I can place it pretty close to where it's...

Hi all, I discovered a used parts motorcycle store by my house today. I go in to see if they have any Vmax parts (they don't) but I'm talking to the guy and he asks me the year of my Vmax and then asks me if my speedometer reads 160 or 180. I told him I thought it read 160, and he tells me...

just a heads up that there is a pair of 95 yzf 750 6 piston calipers with a master cylinder on ebay right now. The good news, bidding is starting at a penny, The bad news, they are in Australia and they want $145 for shipping. :damn angry...

When I bought this 85 I swore I was going to keep it stock! Then I ran across some fzr1000 6 pot calipers on ebay for $75, and all the parts to upgrade to a set of 03 black forks just seemed to come along. Then I found the top steering bearing was rusted and off came the triple trees and what...

Hello everyone, trying to change the oil on the Vmax, and can't seem to get the o-ring to stay on the filter canister when I try to bolt it on. Is there a trick to this? or can I use some sort of gasket holder? Thanks
