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...

Well, it's been a freakishly busy week. I sold my 34 year old 1984 XJ750RL I've had since new, and bought mint 06 Street Bob. XJ had 78000 KMs all original with exception of WOLF 4-1. FXDBi has 62,000 KMs and... many upgrades including: Braided stainless lines Screaming' Eagle fork brace...

MINT condition MUST SEE! (No BS) Original owner of 34 years. 78,400 KMs. RARE Canadian model. Yamaha only made 887 of these in 1984: 601 came to Canada and the rest went to Australia Bike runs and operates like brand new. All factory original except aftermarket WOLF full exhaust system.

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...

I was wondering if anyone has a "spare", (in good shape) pilot, low speed/idle adjustment screw that I could purchase? OEM 12R-14105-00-00. I don't need the spring, washer or rubber seal, just the brass screw. Just one, that's all I need... one lonely screw. (Damn that sounds bad)...

I'm thinking about purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner. I don't know much about them. My intent is to use them on anything, but primarily on the carbs for my bikes. Don't want to buy junk, because I know that you get what you pay for. AND YET! I don't want to break the bank buying more than I...

Wondering if there are any Canadian Vmax'rs out there that have recovered their Corbin Gunfighter seat or any other motorcycle seat for that matter? Rather than purchase a new Corbin seat, I'm looking for a reputable vendor to recover my Corbin. I'm not looking to ship it cross border, and...

OK, so I caved and bought another bike! I sat on a 2013 Gold Wing yesterday with mama on the back. Yes it is quite the work and probably a super ride I'm certain. I ended up buying a used 2013 V Star Venture from an only owner. My choice in my final decision came down to a few simple things...

I don't know about you guys, but back in the day when I "kinda" gave a crap about stuff like this... it was the bomb. Loads of laughs. It's being remastered and will be available April sometime in the next week or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT7Di_WwxzU

Has anyone removed the red reflector behind the passenger seat and replaced it with something like this? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Vmax-Yamaha-L-E-D-Brake-Light-Tail-Light-DOT-Clear-w-red-leds-/131857603724?hash=item1eb3535c8c:m:mAHgwA-2MQPgf8Y-hL1xDIQ Anyone found a better "plug-n-play" unit?

Wondering if anyone has bolted a newer rectifier into an older model Vmax? I'm looking to install a 2006 into an 1987. It should work right? If not, what solutions have anyone else come up with? The 1987 OEM is burning up, but still working, but for how long right?

I have a Barnett clutch upgrade installed and I'm wondering if anyone has a line on a clear clutch cover for a Gen 1? Wondering IF UFO is still taking orders for theirs? See it on Exactrep, but that's over seas. Also found one at vmaxshop.com. Hoping to find it in a match to the matte finish of...

Wondering if anyone can give me a suggestion or two, so I know I'm on the right track. I bought a Hindle set up about 4 years back, with an 18" Carbon Fibre with stealth baffle, and a 14" Carbon Fibre Super Sport baffle, both with the now discontinued spigot tip. I also purchased a DynoJet...

Can anyone identify with this motorcycle? Does anyone have a relative or sibling to this motorcycle? If so, I could really use some assistance with sourcing and obtaining a few parts of it this season. I've had this motorcycle since I was in early high school; bought it brand new. It's seen...

Always wondered about something... Does anyone know what year and why Yamaha altered the casing on the VMX12 with these ribs?
