    Motorycle For Sale 85 VMAX for sale

    I wonder if I had not terrorized the Hydrobowl with you back in the day. I bought my 85 from the Yamaha shop on Kettering Blvd south of town in Moraine. Many a good times racing the Airforce boys from Wright Patt having not lost a single battle on my Max ! Hurricanes and the liter Kaws...

    ISO 1985 Deep Amethyst color code

    Colorite has always been the “go to” source for factory paint matches. Being a 85 “snob” I always wanted that first year color. I always thought of it as a shade of purple. It is the one color never available from them. I don’t know f their color code will give you the info to take to your...

    starter clutch gen 1

    Look up the You tube video from Morley’s Muscle for the clear “How To”. The highlights are use a good quality puller and grade 8 bolts, once you tighten it, tighten it once more. Then whack the center bolt like you mean it ! No one mentions heat but I’ve never needed it. I do like...

    Couldn’t ride in them

    So I had the 3/4 above the ankle version of these. Not sure why you would choose a Moto boot for Vmax riding but I did love mine. Same color, easy to walk in although still stiff. Have you ever walked in ski boots? While they gave me years of service, they eventually failed. The sole...

    What oil to use, that is the question

    All the oil “talk” is wasted human time. Use what most people that have had decades of Vmax experience use. change your shit at regular intervals. World hunger could have been solved with all the effort put into the subject.

    Voo doo 4 into 2 exhaust new for sale

    There is also us “Hoarders” out there. The primary parts breaker guys have probably thrown away more shit than you can imagine! I know it got to be a struggle for me to come to grips of whether I toss something, restore it for a rainy day or store it. consumables like rubber parts and...

    Disk rotor bolts stuck

    So I just bought an Induction coil heat tool for a broken stud on a car project. That would be ideal for this issue. I have broken Allen wrenches with a pipe extension on these. Bondaus brand wrench.

    Cannot get flywheel off 85 Vmax

    Heat is your friend but I have always used the Morley video. Use a beefy puller, zip tie your parts. Use a good impact on center bolt as tight as you can and simply whack the center bolt like a man ! Works every time !

    6 pack rack loose on sissy bar

    Never thought of that. Pretty shallow to try to retap bigger bolts.
