You’re welcome. I am far from a specialist myself, just happen to have quite literally gone through the same issue with slippage myself. I’d highly recommend getting the DD clutch kit. From everything I’ve heard Yamaha’s designing of a just a single spring is not the best. Get the DD-kit, and...

Is it strictly just 3-4-5 that the slippage occurs? Take it somewhere you can open it up at 1&2 and see if it's the same. A slipping clutch, if it's the clutch will happen in all gears. It could be that you need to replace your clutch. For my gen 2 that I bought used, it seems the previous...

I’ve been putting together all the parts to replace my clutch. Noticed I ordered the original clutch plates, and they’ve been superseded. Does anyone know why, and if I should go through the trouble of returning mine for the updated ones? Or if it’s just a minor enough difference not to...

Revzilla said it was in stock. Ordered it and was told “Backordered with no ETA”

Looking for this gasket if anyone has/knows where I can get it 2S3-15462-00-00 GASKET, CRANKCASE COVER 3 Replacing clutch on gen 2 and can’t find this. Will keep looking in the meantime but I’m in dire need.

I was indeed told before purchase that I would have to come back in a few hours to pick up the bike because they were going to fully service it before letting me ride off with it. I am very disappointed with the service Dept. However I am also still waiting on a crankcase cover that’s been on...

I bought my VMAX at 25,000 miles back in October, and am in the mid 33,000 range and it being a 2016 I decided to change out some filters/fluids, general maintenance and log it so I’d actually know when it was done and when I should follow up, etc. The previous owner of this amazing motorcycle...

Agreed, wouldn't mind having this as part of my collection of spare Vmax parts. Of course I'd want to know why it was replaced in the first place.

Part number is: 2S3-82540-00-00 It’s called “NEUTRAL SWITCH ASSY” it can be found on Partzilla. It’s under category “ELECTRICAL 1” and is #7 Price is listed for $108.99 and is currently cut back to $81.06. It’s located on the lower left side below the crankcase cover. Partzilla page where...

Very true, In changing the rear diff oil, I overtightened the small 8mm bolt on top of the breather assy. It broke in half. If I wasn't able to remove it with my extraction kit, a replacement breather assy was going to be about $130 on partzilla. Luckily I managed to get it out and at just the...

Perhaps. However I can't imagine where it dripped from. Oil was changed over a month ago. It's been driven many miles since then, and cleaned. Just a few days ago I changed the rear diff oil. Of course that's too far away. unless I carried my oil jug/drain pan too close and spilled a drip, just...

Came back from an exceptionally hot ride. Did a little walk around the bike as I usually do before parking her for the day. Noticed on the right hand side, this little bolt seemingly leaking oil. The smudge interrupting the trickle was from my finger verifying it was indeed oil. Anyone have any...

Welcome Bryan, sweet ride you've got there. Nice to see another VMAX rider in Texas. I'm over in Houston myself

I have it and can say it did fine at 177mph. Only held that speed for a short time but had no issues.

Thank you, I’ve added a solid 5,500mi since I bought it. It feels like it’s been longer than 5 months to be honest.
