I have had my 2003 Vmax since 2009 with nary an issue. Last fall I was in the midst of moving and drove the motorbike to the new house/garage. I think I went over a speed bump a bit fast and it felt like it bottomed out. A few days later I checked on the bike and for the first time ever...
I received a K&N filter YA-1709 with an exhaust system I purchased. Can someone point me in the right direction for installation instructions for this? I have a 2012 Vmax
This one fits into the OEM space, w/a bit of diameter to spare. If you want to have it snug, use a bit of foam or cardboard to shim it.
I was speaking w/my mechanic, and he said that even w/his shop discount, a OEM Yamaha filter for a VMax was $23. I figured I could find something comparable...
Just rebuilt the engine on my 94 a couple of weeks ago and opted to install a K&N oil filter cartridge. This morning was finally time for the break-in oil change. When I removed the filter cover, one of the metal ends was separated from the filter media. The glue seems to have split in 2 places...
Hey guys! A year or so ago I decided to get my first road bike. 1993 Vmax. The seller told me to check this site out if I ever needed anything. I'm new here, I may be looking in the wrong place. Nevertheless, I was wondering if any of you guys have the same problem I have. An object clipped the...

First Dyno on this bike. I was curious as to why the HP was actually a bit less with the Tboost set at 3000 rpm than it was with it set at 6000 rpm across the board? Someone has the logical answer but fill me in if you could enlighten me.
Also I was told that the main jets may be a little large...

A while back I saw a video Sean made about how the cartridge style filter set up should be. I cannot find it and it's time for me to do my first gen 1 oil change. Would someone please direct me to that link. Thank You
Per Sean,
I dug out the Y section for the airbox and put in 1/4" spacers. Guess what?
It runs BETTER!
Before I converted to COPs, the bike would want to die at idle when it got hot, so I bumped the idle to 1250. (figured it was the carbs not being synced - hadn't gotten the sync tool...
Got a good deal on a air filter today. Has anyone replaced their filter can give me some info on how to do it. I had the seat off, took off the front and back screws from one scoop and the screws at the back of the dummy tank. Felt like something was still holding the tank at the front? I...
