Mmmmh interesting, I've always preferred the "wheel"selector ASV-style, Vs Clicker Pazzo-style... but the price difference is quite massive here... especially with shipping fees!

Am hijacking this thread instead of creating a new one, but has anyone here got those levers? http://cgi.ebay.fr/IXS-Bremshebel-Yamaha-VMX-1200-V-MAX-86-schwarz-ku-/150727046151?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item2318083407 They do brake and clutch, in long and short... not cheap but might be...

I'll try that, cheers On the manual it also says to check with warm engine. I'll do that tomorow

I'm a bit concerned with the oil level window, it's now cleared and I can't see any level, like if it was empty. And I know for sure there's oil... so why can't I see that bloody level?

All done, seems like it's not leaking, just went for a quick spin around the neighborhood and it all seems fine with the old O ring. However the glass thing to check the oil level makes it hard to check the, well, oil level. The Vmax takes 3.8 liters right?

I'd have thought the dimensions would have been easier to find! Cheers guys I'll have a look at the O ring in there at moment and see if it can be reused Edit: I've just watched Sean's video, good advice!!

Hi guys It's time for my 89' to get its first oil change (by me), so I picked up an oil filter from the local Yam dealer, but he didn't have have the O-ring in stock. What size is that bloody thing? same as the filter 101mm?? and thickness? and is it round section?? Sorry if it's been posted...

Bike Doctor is corner of Scarb beach Rd and Loftus St, just north of the city, before Osborne Park. They had those weird sized tires in stock... As for Sunday it depends on my Saturday night! eh eh! We could still go around 9.30am do a quick West Coast Hway run and be back to Cotesloe for your...

Ha ha yeah that's weird, it could have well been me since i'm in the area! Mine's fully stock with drag bars and chrome reinforcement bars on the frame. I had the bike serviced by Steve at Bike Doctor, the carbs were out of sync and the valve clearance was completely out on one cylinder, it's...

Well, it wasn't me! I took the bike for a service in the morning but met nobody. Did you meet another max on a vmax, also on that forum?:ummm:

Cheers Gaetan, I'll definitely do that!

Yes it's an import, but the speedo doesn't seem to have been changed as it's still in miles, so the number of kms seemed legit. Mind you, I'm not sure of anything now! When we go for a ride, then you can see for yourself and tell me what you think. Quite funny to meet someone so close in good...

It has only 18 000 ks so I hope it's just the valve clearance, and the guy at Bike Doctor also has a Vmax! so I assume he knows his stuff. A ride would defo be awesome, we're really close I'm in Myaree! like literally 5mn away! We'll have to catch up on week end then!

Hi NaughtyG Thanks a lot for the offer the carb sync will be something to do anyway, I really appreciate that. As for a ride, I'd love that! I'm near Freo... Edit: you too!! On a side note, I've just had the rear tire fitted at Bike Tire City, and as we got talokin', the owner recognised my...
