i bought progressives (standard size). do i have to remove the bottom fork leg, or can i just swap the springs by pulling them out the top of the fork? thanks for any help

I'm changing out a bad pick up coils, but you can use the steps below if you need to work on your starter clutch, flywheel, stator or slave clutch master also. First put your VMax on a work stand or center stand. You can lean it to one side if you want to minimize the oil loss. The...

Title pretty much says it all. I changed my clutch and brake to stainless lines, and while my brakes are behaving (mostly) the clutch will not disengage. I've bleed the SS line repeatedly and am sure there is no air present. The clutch lever has plenty of feel, perhaps a bit harder than stock...

Hello All I want to change the wide radiator into a narrow on like on the Boulevard or the Shadow. Dont really like the looks of the stock. Has any one tried this???? Some one here must have some info on this. THanks in advance Cheers

Hi everybody, I have a stock '97 max with 49,000 kms on it. I've changed the oil three times since I bought it (had 36k on it) and each time after changing the oil and the filter within minutes of starting up the oil is dirty again. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Why does this...

I'm about to put some new rubber on my bike. Do any of you guys change your own? I've done it before on dirtbikes but never on a road bike. Is there anything especially difficult about doing it on the Vmax? I would have it done but would just as soon do it myself for the saving and being able...

I have had a new Slave Cylinder to put on the bike, but my question is about removing the old and installing the new one. Do I have to remove the crank case cover and the other cover that is behind the peg to get to the slave. I have looked under the bike and can't see how it would be done...

Hello, If after other checks of the intake system it is found necessary (preferable) to change the size of the main jets, I strongly recommend to check the flow rates of the old ones first - in case that the current main jets have been there for a while. This is particularly true if you have...

Is there a list of parts here of what I should order for changing the clutch. Is there other stuff besides the clutch plates that I should get?

I was originally against changing the stock brake master with an FJR 2003 on, My reasoning was the brakes are really great with HH pads and SS lines, I am aware of the need for earlier model bikes that need calipers but I've seen many late model bikes also going for the R1 & R6 calipers. further...
