BikerDave 99 has a How To Post on pg4 of the How To section of the forum (STEM BEARINGS) I am able to read all of the post just fine however acording to Photo Bucket Im not a $$$ Member thus those really helpful Images next to the instructional post are blocked to me. That sucks I know.... i...

Anyone have luck replacing / reparing the odometer stem as in trip mileage counter stem. Mine is AWOL so Ive taped around to keep water out. Positive note...the odometer still works fine.

I MEASURED the rear shock eyelets center to center i get 12.75" bike parked. I found some 11.4" adjustable replacements. So hears the dum question.... Does the 1.25" diffrence in the two shocks translate to the bike being lowered 1.25" in the rear ?

I took a quik look in the how to's but didnt see anything this topic. My goal since lowering the front 1- 3/8" is to lower the rear on the cheap if posible. First thing to come to mind is cutting some of the rear spring to lower it 1.5". Any potential problems by using this cave man method ...

97 VMAX 25K ; Ive read some of the Vboost how to's and My understanding is the Vboost can be disconected in the open position. Questions ; by disconecting does this mean it will always be in vboost mode at any rpm and the bike will always get the vboost benefit at all rpms ? Also does...

1997 Vmax 25k ; Lately Ive noticed when on a less than level and smooth road or go over a small bump at 40mph and with one hand on the handlebars The handlebars shake left and right extra violently till i grab them with both hands. Any thoughts on what can be the worn out part or trouble...

Someone please tell me what this is for and why its removable ?

At 5'7" Id like to lower the bike 2 or so inches. If i must buy the 280$ 11" progresive rear shocks so be it. However a search on the web found me 280mm-11" rear motorcycle shocks for 80 - 100$ a pair....asuming their for a street bike and my bolts fit thru them...Has anyone gone this route or...

I had a 3 mile stretch to myself today before i knew it i was a bit pass 130 wich is way to easy for this bike compared to any cruiser ive ever rode. Anyone else reach this speed or more on ocasion track or road if so what kind of air pressure is proper ?

JUST picked up my Corbin from getting new vinyl skin and extra cushion after almost biding via ebay on a good cond oem Vmax seat front and rear. So glad the majority of you guys chimed in and "voted" for a Corbin Reskin. If it can stay untorn and firm like the way it is now for at least 3 years...

97 Vmax 24k : the bike came with and still has a used up 1st gen Corbin seat. Well the seats had it the cushion and skin is worn with some tears. So Ive decided to either rebuild or replace with a original Vmax seat via ebay. Im 270lb and when i see the original vmax seats i think great for a...

97 Vmax 24k ; Ive looked for a 1st gen Vmax specific headlamp hid conversion mod for a while and truthfully I did find only one for 50$. I had some misc parts laying round from my 04 Vtx 1300c as it turns out the oem lamp type are exactly the same h4 9003. So I wondered if a old hid kit i had...

Ive only had it a few weeks got it with 24k All I I know is its hydraulic actuated clutch and the fluid should generaly be changed bout every 2 years or so. But I havent been able to find a how to on making the clutch easier to squeaze and maintain. Perhaps a diffrent lever ? Has Anyone improved...

Anyone find a HID headlamp conversion kit that fits without moding or very little modding on a 97 vmax ? I tried one from my vtx 1300 as they use the same h4 9003 lamp but the lamp legs are to wide to get the yamaha metal ring to fasten. If I wanted to i could order a similar kit and dremel it...

I suspect my bike has a lower temp tstat or a stuck open - no tstat at all , being the temp gauge only moves 10% at full operating temp at highway and heavy traffic speeds needle never goes more than just a bit 5-10% instead of 1/2 way wich I would think is norm op temp of course the fan dosent...

THEN all hell broke loose literaly... 97 vmax 24k...bikes been running tops for two weeks Ive had it, no leaks at all of any type. The coolant was old and piss looking so today I flushed and toped off with Prestone premix went for a sprightly ride and all was good. Fast forward 4 hours later...

My vmax came without tank emblems and i want to order the correct original size 30-40 mm ? 30mm seems too small 40mm is the better of whats offered 30-55 mm.

Had it two weeks. The paint was profesionaly done and in great shape....only the colors oh man the colors and "water splash graphics" eeeeeh Dont want to offend the p.o so Ill just leave it at that (fenders picture below) blue was ok but blue&yellow/water splash.......nope I actually had the...
