Hello folks, it has been a while I was neither riding nor wrenching.. I am looking for some slight engine mods that have been posted by a fellow member but I could not find on the forum, related to 1300cc conversion and advancing the valves.. if anyone could help with these details or any other...
I was cleaning my engine block when I came across this pin hole that resides in the dowel hole of the water pump mounting surface. I tried to blow it with air but it seems blocked, I also tried to see where it leads and I could not figure it out.
Vmaxers and Vmax gurus any idea? :worthy:
Here we go again.... there is a wiseco +3mm big bore kit with a 10.5 compression that will yield a 1394 cc. Has anyone done it? what do you people think about it if I am going to use an older Royal star Block with Vmax heads.
Any ideas? shave the block? shave the heads? nothing radical, but I...
IfI am having an affordable fork set with the tripple tree, how can I adapt it for a 93-up Vmax ? Is it practical?
All feedback appreciated.
Thank you

I am maybe hallucinating but I remember I read this week on a successful swap of stock front 4-cylinder caliper in the rear and I also remember it had seen photos and I can also remember that it looked cool.

Thank you
I tried to figure out the function of the scavenge pump that it a part of the engine oil pump. I read the manual and it looks like it scavenges some return ino the pump one more time?:confused2:
Anybody have a clear idea to enlighten me please...
Thank you
Anyone did the tboost using the two diodes and the resistor successfully?
I did it twice and everytime I get cylinder 3 misfiring and loud gunshots from the exhaust :bang head:. To the best of my knowledge, I did it as it should be done.
Any idea what went wrong? :ummm:
Anybody used the LM-2 Innovate motorsports air/fuel wide band kit? 559 $ with bells and whistles
Some threads vote positively towards the older LM-1 ( 379 $ on fleabay with rpm signal cable)
Looked at Dynojet wideband commander too :ummm: but felt more at ease with the Innovate ( maybe just a...
Hi again,
The title tells it all:
4-2 ( or 4-1 ) Mark's exhaust system ( sounds awsome )
Dynojet Stage 7 jet kit with individual filters
Nology spark plug wires
Velcro hook and loop patch for the seat and my jeans
I am not biased towards a particular brand ( yet ) so feel free to express...

Hello Vmaxers.
First I must express how useful this site is.
Second, I apologize for not introducing myself in the proper place, but I shall do it with some photos.
I recently purchased a 2004 Vmax with about 6k miles on the clock.
The bike starts normally, 10-15...
