Thinking of buying this bike. Owner NO DOCUMATION AT AL
Owner claimed built motor and bunch of other atuff...i see it does have 4bbl conversion...hebstatws previous owner used to be on "the forums" alot...thanka.L
Asking $2500....all stock and mint...hate to make an4 hr round trip and ride 2hr back in winter...but damn....39k miles on bike always liked that anniversary red color. Will see if he takes $2k....
Replace starter clutch changed oil and that's about it for the VMAX. Put on about 2,000 mi last year. Have 10 Yamahas in the garage now so VMAX doesn't get written all that much. It still goes out and gets exercised though lol. Have other projects I'm working on. Been buying and flipping a...
Have had many Yamaha's and for the 1st time the idle seemed to lower by itself over time. I set I set it to 1100 RPM with a tach when I 1st got the bike now after 2000 miles it's dropped to 900 and even stalled at a light. Bumped it backup to 1100 seems fine. Anyone else have the experience for...
Thanks to the manual and posts/members in here got it all done.
Gearwrench puller worked and 12.9 class 100mm long M8x1.25 bolts and grade 8 thick washers along with my new cheapie (but damn good) $115 Earthquake air impact 1/2 in (1200 ft-lbs reverse and 1000 ft-lbs forward) from Harbor...
I used that nice thick washer in conjunction with my puller when removing starter clutch. It got smashed/bent/inverted. I went and got a very similar size thick washer (but not quite as thick as oem) and it looks like it will work. Only concern is tightening that flywheel bolt to 96...
Got everything apart and have new starter clutch and new bolts and gaskets. Will clean everything real good, got red loctite and torque Wrench at the ready. Should I polish/smooth up the slightly marred surface or leave it alone (where bottom of starter clutch rests)
I was thinking of buying this ($15) and then buying some better grade 8 8x1.25 bolts and possibly using some extra metal plates/heavy washers to stiffen things up to avoid bolt flex. Comes with grade 5 cheapie hardware. But the other parts seem worth $15.
1998 very well maintained... 21k miles original starter. Always started perfect until last few rides. When restarting after ridden a while.... Press starter button and sounds like marbles in a tin can. Let it sit and then fires right up and runs fine. Happened 2-3 times while riding last 3 days...
OK... First boo boo on the vmax. Parking in garage and kickstand was on half rug and half concrete floor.... Slip... Fell on me (left side) I protected it BUT my right elbow dinged the plastic gas tank cover. Paint fine, just round Dent (looks like a shot put fell on it lol).
What's the best...
Bought some 6241 Kuryakan ISO Grips (7/8 in). Did not come with throttle tube so I bought one and put in. Throttle side done and good. Clutch side grip is too big. I used some Gorilla Glue black Duct Tape on bar. Used Gorilla Glue superglue but did not as here to tape apparently. I'm going to...
Did about 1000 miles in 4 days and had a blast. Right hand goes numb at 5500 rpm's for hours and hours.... Butt felt sore (almost ilke friction sore not lower back pain sore). My seat is recovered and somewhat modified and don't want to tear I to it... Would rather buy a different seat for long...
Buddy has a 1992 Vmax... He is looking for a perfect stock exhaust... Anybody got one? Assume most any stock exhaust for any year gen 1 would work?

Got these brand new for $80 shipped...small throw over nylon saddlebags (less than 1/2 price). Wrapped some supied nylon buckle straps around rear bullet turn signals. The bags will flap up and down but are pretty fixed forward and back... And nothing hits painted parts. Cant hold much and will...
98 with stock bars and mirrors. Cannot adjust to see very well behind me. Not sure I want to use bar end mirrors (yet). I would like a shorter yet longer stem on the mirror so I can have them stick out more to the side (but not be tall and dorky). I want them to look nice but need them to be...
My bike was set to have vboost all the time (unhooked so open always), full stage 7 jetting/K&N pods full race stainless UFO exhaust. I hooked the vboost back up in order to sync the carbs... And once synced I unplugged vboost half way through cycle to have it open full time again.
I have read...
I noticed today (was pointed out by a fellow vmax owner) that my cap had been glued back together... I fiddled with it and of course the top came off lol. I am regluing for now. Before I spend $25 shipped for another stock cap, is there a better alternative that won't seperate? The fellow vmax...
