    Adjust Stock Rear Springs

    When I bought my 06 last year it didn't come with the tool kit. I've never adjusted the stock rear shocks and I think it's about time I tried. What kind of wrench can I use without damaging the shock and do you guys have any suggestions as to the setting for a 225lb rider with about 20 lbs of...

    I returned from a ride last night to discover that the rear tire had been rubbing against the drive shaft. The tire needs to be replaced now. And unless I can fix the alignment, the bike will have to be taken to a shop on a trailer. Could someone please explain (in newbie terms) how to fix the...

    Should I adjust my carbs for these mods?

    Hey guys, I just had a quick question for you. Do you think it would be worth rejetting/adjusting the carbs on my 06? Its all stock except for a K&N filter, shimmed airbox Y, and supertrapp slip on exhaust (although they have open caps on them so its pretty much straight through). Last time i...

So here's a quick write up with some pictures I snagged last...

    HOW TO: adjust your valves clearances pt3

    OK, so you've got all your clearances to your liking, the shim kit's on its way to the next Vmaxxer (or back to Sean), and you wanna ride! Let's put it all back together.. First I cleaned up my valve covers as best I could: I couldn't find the damn black RTV, and was too lazy to go get some...

    HOW TO: adjust your valves clearances pt2

    Ok so now we're ready to start measuring clearances and adjusting them with the use of shims. DO NOT attempt to start this job without first talking to Sean Morley ([email protected]), because he may just lend you his shim kit. Without it, you'll need a Yamaha special tool (YM-33961 Tappet...

    HOW TO: adjust your valves clearances pt1

    Ok so finally (I know I've been putting this back waaaay too long!) here's a full 'how to' for doing your valves clearances, with the engine IN the bike. I agree that it would be a helluva lot easier to do this with the engine out, but it's not that easy for everyone to remove their motor...

    First valve adjust questions

    Do I really have to take the carbs off? I'm there now, is the Clymer's spot-on correct or can I skip some of this?

    How to adjust vboost cable

    This shows how to adjust the cable tension to ensure vboost valves are opening fully. If too tight then the valves will bind to the open position. Here's the vboost adjuster. Might as well check the vboost sync! Turn on the key and turn off once vboost cycles open. Use a couple of fingers...
