    Strange occurrence

    I noticed an extra ground looking wire on the negative battery terminal, coming out of a wiring harness bundle, wondering why its grounded in that fashion to the battery post? So, I decided to ground it to the frame instead, and the bike ran like crap, I shut off the bike and it continued to...

    Clutch problem, nothing new rite?

    Well Sean is right, not a fan of Barnett kits either. Compared to the OEM, its thinner and the metal plates are smooth. OEM is thicker and the metal plates are dimpled. But still having problems finding neutral, and the shifting now, is somewhat notchy. I plan on going back to the old OEM...

    Surely beat to death

    Well, Im older now, still racing the R1's on the track, barely ride the street, but when I do, its scary. I just realized how bad my mirrors buzz, so bad in fact, I will cruise in 5th gear above mid range just to keep the buzzing to a minimum. any higher, mirrors are fricking useless. Short...

    makes me wonder

    Why we all don't buy these! For one thing, your at the mercy of the Euro Exchange rate, by the time you send funds, the rate of the dollar will chge in mid stream, then the merchant will hold product b/c your original amount is not enough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md8VavpYbkg

    Back in the day

    I recall buying a chrome oil cap that was sold during the time when Yamaha had a huge glamorous catalog of aftermarket stuff. I wonder if any of the star bikes have a chrome piece that is threaded like the Vmax? So far, cannot find any. That black cap has got to go. Found a few on Ebay, but...

    07 Fuel pump relay

    Well, after replacing a slew of electrical components in the hopes of staving off any future issues (preventative if any), warming it up, everything seems good, heading down the road, then it starts to die as if running outta fuel. Mang!! Plenty of fuel, cant roll the throttle it will die but...

    Coolant over flow

    Well, there are new hoses, new thermostat, drain cock assembly, the only thing thus far that has not been replaced are the sensors under the radiator cap thingy and radiator cap. Now, as I run the bike, the black overflow tube is pushing coolant to the catch tank and draining out. I can...

    An old Mod

    I did this mod yrs ago to my 2002. I swapped out the brake and clutch reservoirs for round ones (FZR1000 type). The OEM are ugly and alrdy etched from seeping fluid, anyway, what are folks using now adays for a replacement? I do know that you need to match up the correct master cylinder for...

    Jetting up or down

    I am sure this has been discussed, but I cannot find a thing about this topic. So, fellows, my current setup, K&N filter, Dale walker slips, bike runs fine, but I believe its running maybe rich, without pulling the plugs, the tip of the pipes are alittle black, I heard maybe jet it down one...

    keep it simple

    Ok, I remember running a set of Kerker slipons on my old 1986 FZ750, they seemed at home on that bike, but Im wondering if they will be worth a damn on the Vmax? I found a vendor that sells them for $728 out the door. Any thoughts? I thought about a set I saw from Belgium, they look pretty...

    Gas reserve delimma

    Dale Walker pipes 14" comps

    Just wondering about his slipons. Of course he suggests using a stage 1 with his pipes, but do you actually have too? any thoughts anyone? Im thinking just jet down one size, set the screws 2.5 up front, 3 in the back. Maybe shim the needle. As I recall, you have to drill the hole out on the slide?

    EBC Pro-lites

    All beware when buying these rotors. Just got my set in to the tune of $435.00. They look good, bolts rite on, but there is one jacked up issue. The OEM rotor holes where the bolts (6) go are recessed in for clearance. BUT! The Pro-lites are not.. The bolt head is so close to the fork...
