I've also used the stethoscope and the sharpest sound can be heard when the tip of the stethoscope is pressed and followed on the rim where the spacer and collar (inner race) for the needle bearing would be. Pressing the stethoscope on areas of the diff, the sounds is muffled and not sharp. I...

When the rear wheel in on the bike and it's on the centre stand, I can turn the rear wheel forward slowly (or faster) and hear the typical diff sounds in one 360 degree turn. As the wheel approaches the let's say 270 degree mark I can hear a slight tick click then pause and then a slightly...

I am about to dig into this project with winter weather closing in. I've read a few older threads that have given great info. I've bought a similar to Sealey Blind Bearing Puller kit with numerous collettes, slide hammer and bridge puller. I think this is going to work to extract the bearings...

I'm getting ready to replace the rear wheel bearings on my 2006. I'be been reading the many previous threads of a few years ago and overall it seems pretty straight forward. I have the factory shop manual from Yamaha, and after reading one thread, I've gone ahead and purchased the Haynes manual...

I've been on a bit of an extended absence from this forum, I'm not really new, just been sitting on the sidelines really. Recent events have spurred me into posting once again. Over the last few years I'd accumulated 4 motorcycles including original high school 1984 XJ750RL, a 2013 VXZ13TFS, an...

I agree. A small squirt of something like WD or Rust Check down the barrels on top of the idle mix screws, then a couple half turns out then back in every so often. But for those inheriting an old ride from someone, you may face this dilemma. I noticed that for those running Max in the rain, and...

Maybe it was all he had from his penis pump

A very informative and visually stunning presentation... even to a Canadian

I've installed the Barnett clutch on my 06 Vmax a few years ago and can't for the life of me recall if the washers provided with the six springs fit easily down the tubs of the purple clutch pressure plate. I'm installing the same kit onto my 2013 Royal Star Venture and the washers seem to not...

HEY! I thought Trump was going to make it easier on dealing with us Canadians? Seafood rebate doesn't include Canada.

is he riding? I want one! https://i.imgur.com/xHmt4gr.gifv

That's what happens when everything ages boys! Our seals and gaskets dry out and things don't work as well. My woman always tells me so when I dutch oven her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhYqV17CoQ

I recall a couple of Decembers back I was able to take the cycles out for a ride on the 24th! Not so much this year... heh

Thought maybe there's some of you out there that can appreciate this picture

Sounds to me like low speed/idle circuit plugged. Snorting back through carbs. Shotgun or pull carbs and clean. Welcome to the WONDERFUL WORLD OF VMAX!
