    Do I have a seat from different bike? Picture.

    The flap was the original corbin seat....the plug came after to make the gas cap more accessible.

    Front brake surge

    I've had similar rotors on and had the same surging/pulsing. Rotors were warped on mine......visually also, never sat flat. Cheaply made, after a couple hundred miles I guess the heat got to them.

    Rear Tire

    That shinko combo fits and runs pretty good when I had em and looks great also. You do need to do the washer swap as medic said....a bit tight. The shinkos are pretty sticky and handle very well , even cornering and at mach speed also. You wont get much miles out of them, very soft rubber, and...

    New owner of 89 Vmax!

    Welcome...if you dont want to go through the trouble of changing out the front end, braided lines, hh pads and a fork spring kit works wonders, night and day. I've never noticed a huge difference with every thing else stock other than a little heavier steering up front. With the larger forks...

    Long shot maybe?

    They are 2 different bikes. It's like driving a 64 vs a 2021 vette. To me, my gen1 is like driving the v8 gremlin I had way back when.

    1st gear burnouts?

    I think a Couple factors come into play.....tire compound, rider weight and weight transfer. Shinkos r pretty sticky when new, but I still burn them on a roll on. Every tire I've used in the last 15 years I can smoke through the 1st 3 gears no clutch. I'm about 220, balls almost on the tank...

    Fuel Pump Cost and Location.

    I've been using a pump off a R1 going on 8 years. Lot more plentiful, lot cheaper. Just need to reroute fuel lines, or change the cap on pump.

    What clutch for stock Gen 1?

    I did the DD on my 85. Original spring now has over 40k and the 2nd spring had over 50k, probly 10 years now. Pros.....tire chirping, neck snapping shifts....no lag. Cons.....Heavy lever.....especially round town. Im 220 and it does get heavy after a day in the saddle. Once u got the DD, youll...

    Ignition module......I use a Dyna 3000. Works wonders, crisper throttle response, multiple timing advance, and built in rev limiter.
