1995 Vmax w/ 8000 miles in Kansas City, MO New tires...new front brakes...comes with brand new stock mufflers. All fluids been changed and I just put an oil pressure gauge on it. Carbs been cleaned. I bought it 2 months ago for $5200 and put around $600 in it. The love of my life says...

Couple questions about starting the vmax. I usually use a full choke at startup. I also leave the choke halfway on for the first minute or so. Sometimes I can hear a quiet poping coming from the exhaust. Is this a lean condition? Second question is sometimes the starter has a little...

How noisy are these engines? At certain rpms i seem to get some vibration which I know is common on a V style motor at certain rpms. I can be cruising at low rpms and seem to hear the valve train...not so much clicking...just noisy. Is this pretty common? On the last 4 motorcycles I've had...

I ordered a pressure guage to mount on the handlebars. Just curious...how hard it is to install from the side plug that everyone removes and puts in the gauge? I would like to try to do w/o draining all the oil in the bike because i just did an oil change. Also what pressure should you see...

I can go into 2nd gear and get the front wheel up off the ground when leaning forward. It doesn't go straight up in the air....just a couple inches. I haven't been brave enough to lean back a little, because i worry about flipping the bike all the way up. Can anyone else pop a wheelie or...

Is there a difference in horsepower throughout the years of the vmax? I have a 95 Vmax and i have heard anything from 100-145hp. What would is the correct number? :confused2:

ha...ok...i'm talking about getting the bike on the center stand... :cheers: I've had other bikes that had center stands and this one is the heaviest bastard to get up. i'm 160lbs....and my trick is to put as much weight on the center stand...and use my right hand to grab behind me on...

my 95 vmax stock exhaust isn't in bad shape; however, a gentlemen at the dealership had an 05 vmax and put new pipes on it as soon as he got it. He since got rid of the bike, but when he found out i had a 95, he said he would give me his old exhasut system. Brand new...so i couldn't pass up...

My front tire's wear seems very strange. I'm sure it's the stock tire...it's a Bridgestone. The bike has 7,000 miles on it..and i just got it. The front tire has some life left in it, but it's about time to replace it; however the tread seems strange. The tire has "hills" going across the...

I was thinking of seafoaming my 95 vmax. I just bought it with 7K miles and it's sit a lot. Would this be a good idea to seafoam? If so, i've never used the stuff so what would be the steps of using it? Put in Oil & gas tank? Then suck some through the vacuum hoses...let sit and start...

I am about to replace the coolant in my vmax. The manual says to remove the side covers off each cylinder then pull out the rubber plugs. I'm having problems with this. i remove the cover and behind i can't figure out how to get the plug out. it has a threaded metal center and a rubber...

Hi. I just picked up a 95 Vmax 1200 w/ 7K miles. I've had several motorcycles, but i have a couple questions. 1. 10w40 oil? I have no manual. Yamalube good with the clutch? Also where to get the oil filter and how much oil does it hold? 2. Normal driving... where are good shift points...
