brake

Hey all, I am in need of a new rear rotor but was thinking to just bite the bullet and replace all 3 at the same time just to keep them all at the same wear level. How many of you run the China/ Hong Kong rotors like these...

Hello, I noticed the rear brake pedal on my bike is kind of loose and too close to the crankcase cover. Is this normal? I followed the instructions on this periodic maintenance document but everything seems well adjusted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwbRx67CL-g&feature=youtu.be Cheers...

Can someone re post the link that shows pictures of how to change the rear brakes pads without taking the caliper off? Thanks

Hi Guys, On Friday my rear brake quit working. pedal would bottom out but no braking. On the bottom of the master cylinder there was some brake fluid leaking, just enough to get on my finger when I wiped it. Reservoir still had plenty of fluid. I'm picking up the Master cylinder rebuild kit on...

Hey everyone, I getting ready to order some custom lenth steel braided lines on my vmax. I would like to get away from the splitter and run two lines all the way up to the MC. Anyway, I am lowered 2.5" in the front and have drag bars so my lines are stupid long. I was wondering guys with the two...

Hello fellow VMAX'ers. Im new to the forum and still searching my way through the labyrinth of great information. Im certain my question is answered within the forum a thousand times ... but bare with me please. Im interested in a replacement front brake assembly for the oem assembly. Looking...

Wired the signals up and they just flash versus individually signal. Any thoughts? Fronts are the basic LEDs and I wired hot to hot, ground to ground and didn't use the blue (running light) and they both flash at the same time regardless of using left or right turn signal switch. Same in...

Ok, in my quest to make my bike the perfect bike for me, I have found I want some changes in the braking department. While the stock Vmax brakes seem to do the job just fine in most instances, I do know that they can be better. With the front brakes, the pull feels lighter than what I would...

None of the caliper rebuild kits come with the two small rubber seals that are inside the caliper, you have to split the caliper to get the pistons out and there they are but they do not come with any rebuild kits I have found online. Any suggestions?

Has anyone tried cleaning their floating rotors this way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qoPqN2GBdw

Some of my riding buddies told me that they could not see my brake lights when I applied them. So I decided to mod the stock lights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnFLV_HNlL4&list=UU-dcY8hJEwhCv6drEdZNC-g&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Y241jm9Cs&list=UU-dcY8hJEwhCv6drEdZNC-g

Hello all, long time no post. For my Gen 1, I tried fixing the hot start/charging problems...result warm starts now possible (have yet to get to the starter) but went riding yesterday and found out that my brake light is permanently on. Wiring work of late was 2 things (third side note is: also...

what is available for the rear brake light? the only thing that i don't like about it, is it sticks out past the fender. i would much rather it be under the fender, or flush with the edge of the fender. i think i'm gonna have to go with something that is universal fit. led is an option.

Gonna do some upgrades to my Max this winter, because the winter up here in Sweden tends to become long, dark and boring, so need projects... Any way... I bought a set of 1995 FZR1000 6-pot front calipers. They are rebuilt and painted gold. Bike is black. So to keep this Black-Gold colouring...

Hi dear All, I bought my Vmax recently without the brake light. All is fitted in the indicators, back light and brake light. The entire original indicator assembly is missing. So I intend to re-install the original LED brake light and found one in AMAZON with the remark: not to be used for Vmax...
