front

Hy, Still on my 1986 Royal Venture (XVZ1300) project A little question about brake swap :ummm: Do 2006-2015 Yamaha FJR1300 Front Brake Calipers would fit on my 1986 XVZ1300 :confused2: thank`s Regards

Ok, I am not an electrician and searched all over and tried some of the things I found to no avail. I read in one post about checking the yellow wire in the rear. 11.9 volts with the rear brake lever ( which actually works the light fine ) 6.xx volts with the front brake lever...

Hi yall. Is anyone running a 21" front setup on their bike? I see a lot of 17" and 18" conversions on here, but the asthetics in my opinion are a little bit off. Not knocking the swap, especially from a safety standpoint... just wondering if anyone's done a swap on the front like that to restore...

Hello, I have the front end off of my 92 Vmax, progressive springs and race tech emulators in hand. Looking for a good, if not great, VMax or suspension mechanic to install the springs and emulators, in the San Diego area. I can brink the forks to your location. thanks! Jonathan

I think i've decided to get a shinko 230 rear 170 size tire from what i've read about them. It's a cheap tire that is fairly grippy and doesn't last as long as some others. I want a front that I can push a little harder than the average guy in the corners. I thought about running a 150 rear for...

is there anyone out there running a smaller size front? If so which? Someone said that 80's Ventures might be an option, but they are 18's. Yes, i like balloon tires :biglaugh:

So, as some of you know... I downed my Max in September, and to much chagrin it was totaled out. But after many phone calls to Sean, along with many emails and parts later, I now have a functional USD front end off a YZF750R transplanted to the max. The parts list goes as follows: Yzf750r forks...

Recommendations ? I think someone put on a r1 forks..? Im looking to upgrade the front, brakes/shock's. Thanks ☺

I searched- assuming I'm dumb, I did not find a relative thread comparing FZ1 silver dot calipers to early R1 calipers. Anyone use the FZ calipers up FRONT on a 93^ Max? I have a 2002 and found a set of super clean and super cheap silver dots I want to get- but are the mounting holes the...

Just tinkering around waiting for fork seals to come in when I decided I would ask a few questions. When I was riding last year, I noticed that I could hear a rubbing sound while riding. It was coming from the front and got louder when going fast and quieter slower. I'm not sure if it is the...

Next question from me I'm afraid! On my '85 max the front for has what looks like a wire tensioner at the top of the front fork... Anyone know what this is for and how to remove it to get the front fork off?! :ummm: Cheers, James

I got my bike up and running finally but it ran rather rough and I felt the exhaust and the front left is dead cold. Did a compression test and it started at 90 psi and finished at 150 psi so I assume the issue is not mechanical. The plug was not wet and looked clean. I swapped over the plug...

larger forks first gen bike. 43mm i think. I am looking for a front fender on the sportbike style. I have the cbr one in one of these threads but i think the mod is just for the earlier model forks 41mm i think. so what have you guys done to put something like a sportbike front fender on your...

I've got an '03 with an 18x5.5" rear with a Bridgestone 180/55 sport-touring radial, and an almost-matching Bridgestone 110/80 front radial. While many will say that a 110/80 works fine on the stock 18x2.15 front wheel, the fact is that a 110/80 radial is designed for at least a 3" wheel and...

I just recently replaced my front stock suspension with some Progressives. Before this was done, my front wheel would bounce and it was worse as speed increased. After the suspension upgrade, it still happens but isn't as bad as before. I really don't notice it until I hit highway speeds. My...

I've decided to sell my bike. I have two small children and just have decided to no longer ride at this time in my life. It has 40k miles on it with no engine problems or transmission problems. I am the third owner, owner 1 was a female who rode with her husband long distances where it received...

How do you adjust the front forks on a 98 vmax?

Wired the signals up and they just flash versus individually signal. Any thoughts? Fronts are the basic LEDs and I wired hot to hot, ground to ground and didn't use the blue (running light) and they both flash at the same time regardless of using left or right turn signal switch. Same in...

Hi Every body! Last week I put a new Shino on the front of my max. I did so because my old tire was scalloped badly. I also discovered my steering head bearings were quite loose. So I adjusted the bearings, installed the new tire and checked its ballance ( was right on no weight needed)...
