crimp

Since my max at 2000rpm only has about 13.05 volts across the batter terminals I thought I'd do the bypass this weekend. I took off the left side passenger foot peg plate (which was a pain). After looking at the connections I decide to follow the wires from the RR to see where they went too. It...

Hello all, long time no post. For my Gen 1, I tried fixing the hot start/charging problems...result warm starts now possible (have yet to get to the starter) but went riding yesterday and found out that my brake light is permanently on. Wiring work of late was 2 things (third side note is: also...

I want to do the crimp fix but my dumb ass cant find the info to do it! I have been searching for a long time and I can't find it, thanks.

I started the crimp fix yesterday, but couldn't continue due to propane problems. I got as far as applying the flux when I realized I wasn't going to finish. So I tried the only thing I could think of, I applied heat to the tip of a screwdriver with a lighter. Futile I know, but I had to try...

Have a 2005. Is the crimp fix still needed on this year or later? Hear Yamaha fixed a lot of things but don't know if they fixed this one. Don't really seem to have any electrical issues. Have my seat off and thought if need be I'd do it. Thanks!

Figured I would try the crimp fix but I cant get the stupid soldering iron to heat the area up enough for the solder to stick.What is the secret to this ?.I have never really been good at this soldering stuff.:ummm:

Can someone tell where to find detailed information on how to do the crimp fix? I have used the search tool and can't find anything. Any help would be great, thanks.

Going to do the crimp fix soon, question is, does it get hot enough with a standard soldering iron to take in solder or do you need a micro torch to heat it up?

OK, I'm an idiot, but I can't find the "crimp fix" diy. Where is that sucker on the forum?

Checking some of the older posts on the site, I came across the "solder solution for the battery crimp" mod. Is this something I should look into for my 06?? I don't seem to have any problems...and I don't want to either. Not sure if anyone with a newer max has come across this same issue or if...

Is the "Crimp" fix still necessary on the '06 model year? Vmax Outlaw says "Older bikes seem to benefit more from this modification." I'm not very mechanically inclined, so if yamaha has improved this connection or there isn't much benifit from it, I might avoid it altogether. However, If some...

This is how I did mine. The bike's an '85 and I did the crimp fix a few years ago. Finally, i got smart, and put in the new type R/R unit. (there is a thread I started about this). Unit comes with red and black wires to fit the newer wiring on the '96 and above models. Simply extend the...
