    New Megasquirt version

    I have been following along on Megasquirts site and it seems like the new version coming out will do everything for the Vmax that we could ever want. Sequential fuel and spark on all engines up to 8 cyl. They even list the Vmax as the oddfire motorcycle example. Fun fun! Not sure if the new...

    flywheel removal

    Sean is right about it not being fun. I just used a normal puller and used a nut, just placed on the end of the crankshaft so i wouldn't damage it. I didn't have to heat mine up, but I did have to whack the end of the puller for awhile. I was sitting there for about 5 min., looking at what I...

    Eyewear???

    Hey all! Looking for sugestions on some eyewear. In the past I have usually just bought cheapy's from wherever, but I think I might be ready for a light sensitive pair or some that were actually made to keep the wind out of my eyes. :p I'm looking for glasses, not goggles...and I'm...

    Terrible gas mileage.....

    Hey all, just wondering if anyone had any ideas on this issue..... I only get around 20 - 25 miles to the gallon. I know that I need to get a tune done, the only issue is that the bike seems to run well, all except for a slight miss when idling around 800 rpm. Any thoughts, comments??? The...

    Good Service Manual

    I got the service manual from a link on the web for free. PDF and then printed it. LOTS of pages though, would probably have been cheaper buying the $20 version. When I ripped into my motor this past winter, I ended up buying the Clymer's Vmax manual. That, along with the Yamaha service...

    2nd gear problems

    Hey all, Just wanted to do a little update on my 2nd gear problems. After putting in 15 min. here and 15 min. there......I finally got my '93 Max back together. I had the tranny backcut by Rod at Pro Chassie Racing and everything is awesome. Tranny shifts great and is a lot smoother than I...

    How Many and What Bikes Have You Owned.

    Re: My PreMax love affair, what was your's? Well, I had two Honda's to start out with... A '82 CB650 and a '84 Interceptor 750. Both were fun, but i remember that Interceptor having a ton of snot (it had some work done to it). I actually rode with my friend, who was the owner of my max...

    Putting the mighty V4 back together...

    Hello again all. I am about to start assembly on my '93 max's engine. I ripped it to shreads because i lost second gear on the poor thing. So, I sent the tranny down to Rodney at Pro Chassie Racing to have the tranny backcut and made right again. (Dogs were rounded and shift fork was...

    What does your user name mean??

    Mine is easy to explain as it is the name of my band, Headwork. ( www.myspace.com/headworkmusic ) :th_rockon: The explaination of the orgin of that name came to most of us being gearheads and our singer having some head work done to one of his Rambler's. There are some other, possibly...

    New rear end

    Nice mod. Was thinking about doing pretty much that same thing....glad to see a finished product. Question if you don't mind me asking. Was it any problem mounting the tail light up in the grab bar like that? By the looks of it, it shouldn't be a problem....just wondering if there were...

    Knee Guards????

    Shawn...I think somebody has way to much time on there hands. It would be intresting to see on a bike though. Hopefully who ever has that thing on a bike has nice, smooth roads. One Wisconsin pothole and the rider wouldn't have any teeth left! Just for a little update on the knee guards...

    Knee Guards????

    Hello all. Just wondering if anybody knows where i can get a pair of knee guards for the max? I have seen them on a couple of bikes now and like the look of them. Not sure if somebody actually produces these or if they are owner fabricated. I would also like to know if there are any...

    2nd gear problems

    Thanks for the replies. I haven't had any problems with the tranny except for second gear. It started by only slipping out and engaging right away under hard power, kinda of a stutter, no grinding or anything of that nature. I thought it was the clutch slipping...soon realized it wasn't...

    2nd gear problems

    Hello all. I am the third owner of a '93 vmax that started having 2nd gear slipping issues last year. I did some research and found that this was a common problem on early vmax's and ventures, but couldn't find to much info on the newer ones having issues. I am about to get dirty and rip...
