Hi everyone! Haven’t been riding for awhile and this morning when I started my 93 VMax gas has leaked from the breathing tube of one carburetor (picture attached). Most likely due to the issues caused by the Etanol on modern gasoline. I know there are many posts about carburetor cleaning but i...

It has been a while since the power coating, I cannot be completely sure if they protected the area the rotor seats. But I’ve done the service in a very good paint shop that makes a lot of motorcycle wheels. Since my VMAX is a 93 with about 20k miles, and the rotors surface does not look too...

Kendall, mear Miami Dade Collage. Is this one a good choice? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brake-Rotor-Rear-Disc-1-Piece-Fit-YAMAHA-V-MAX-1200-86-06-98-99-00-01-02-03-04/273042862358?hash=item3f929f7116:g:P1QAAOSw9p9aa7aN If you have another one that would be good, let me know, please! Thanks

Last 2-3 months, rear break started pulsating. Break pads are totally gone now. I’ve disassembled the whole wheel for power coating it a while before, but cannot precise if the pulsating started short after that, Any suggestions on how to start looking for the reason as I will change...

Thanks! I agree with you about his video. What bothers me is the huge difference compared to the service book. Let’s see if someone gives me more details. Otherwise I will go with 4.8” as he suggested.

I’m just finishing replacing the seal and I’m confused about the right fork oil quantity. - Mosley’s video says 4.8 inches from top, - another YouTube video says 5.5 inches, and - on the Service book it says 451ml (this quantity gots me at 11” from top). Before I close it up, anyone...

UPDATE: After the procedure I described, I tested several times and V-boost was moving perfectly. But, after adding silicone to the back of the board, reassembled everything including carburetor, for my surprise V-boost start to react exactly as before. It's very difficult to know if there is...

V-boost back to life !!! I have done: 1. Peeled the silicone coating of the back of Control Unit Board 1. Redone soldering of all wires coming to the Board 2. Tighten all connections on round Plug. 3. Will resealed back of board with silicone for electronics Before reassembling the...

1993 Vmax I need some advice about the V-boost. Recently I have disconnected the V-boost cable so I would be able to change the valve cover gaskets. After reconnected the cable looks very loose even after tying the adjusting screw all the way to the bottom. Also, it's not doing the up...

I end up using a little grease to hold in place. Needless to say it didn't help at all. I really wanna finish last night so I had to be very patient to position it. Job done. Let's see if the stop the leaks. Next... Redo the fork seals after cleaning up scratches and nicks from the inner tubes...

What is the best way to keep the gasket in place while reassembling the valve cover? Maybe grease on the slot, so it wouldn't fall when upside down? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry guys, I have to get more familiar with this site and Tapatalk. I just noted that they mirror each other.

I've already order new seals and bushings, but I think the very little scratches/nicks may be damaging the seals. I can't see any female to the deals, but I see some imperfections in the inner tube. Do you think polishing them before replacing seals and bushing will help? Sent from my iPhone...
