final

Is there an auto seal washer that will work with the bolt or stick with Yama washer? I've tried both alum and copper and still seem to be getting a very small leak after riding.

Hi guys, I have been learning a bit about the Vmax final drive pinion shearing off as this has just happened to my sons '88 Vmax. Although the job is not too involved if I have an exchange pumpkin. Quoted yesterday at $2000.00AU to have it repaired. Far too expensive! Has someone got advice as...

I decided to ship my differential out for chrome. I figured I would try to disassemble it down to the bare case to same some money in the process. To be truthful, I was a little intiminated by the process. There is a lot of talk about special tools and troublesome tasks in the manual. I can...

What is the best final drive fluid for the vmax. Will any 80/90w work?

Thread size on these? (1.5 or 1.25mm)

Is the Gen1 Vmax final drive breather a screw in or push in type?

I'm familiar with Venture final drive swaps with Vmax. Does anyone know if FJR 1300 differentials are compatible? Thanks for any help. raptor197211

I own a 1994 V-Max and my brother owns a 1992 V-Max. Both bikes have slight oily residues on the bottom of the final drive assemblies, which gets ever so lightly spattered onto the rear wheels while riding. It's barely noticeable. The oil levels are correct and I've see no signs of the oil...

I'm starting to see some gear oil around the joint area of FD and S/A. It seems to happen under load. Is the vent supposed to prevent this or do i have to replace some seals and which ones?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEuyK6t5P90 From my Website: This was the end of a very long project. It was the final testing of the ECU Re-Flash for the Second Generation Yamaha Star V-Max. I needed proof the product would function properly, so who else better to call than the Legendary Jay...

So I was all ready to park my Mistress for the winter; added some seafoam and I wanted to run it through the carbs so I grabbed my little half-helmet and went out for a final ride last night. It was really nice out and there was a thunderstorm gathering in the north. The lightning filled the...

I read in previous post that belt drives are the most efficient form of a final drive. I was a little confused by this. I have been told by many motorcycle mechanics that a chain is the MOST efficient. They explained that a belt can and will slip as well with a chain every degree the front...

Hi folks: Would the rear final drive from a 1999 Venture Royal Star XVZ1300 be useable on my '89 Max? I'm looking at one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370353710275&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Thanks muchly. Elimax

does anyone know if a 2000 venture final drive will fit. i know that i would have to plug the speedo drive hole and tap a hole for the shock. thanks for any help.:ummm:

Can anyone tell me how hot the final drive gets? Mine is very hot to the touch. It?s so hot that I can hold on hand only about 5 sec! Is this normal? :confused2:I change the hypo oil. It did'nt make any difference. All is stock and only had 5000 miles on it.

Any brand in particular - or just whatever the manual suggests? I am going through a list of maintenance I want to do - as I have zero clue what was done prior to my purchase.. I am swapping the oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter, synch carbs, final drive oil... Looks easy enough in the...

Noobie here! Can anyone tell me how to install the shock stud required by a VMAX on a Venture final drive housing? Bought my first Max a little over a week ago. It's a '92 and I got a good price knowing it had some deficiencies. Although it runs well and accelerates harder than anything...

I am new to the V-Max forum, but I am interested in using a V-Max engine for a project that I am getting ready to start. . . My question is. . .how difficult would it be (or would it even be possible) to convert the V-Max engine to chain final drive? Thanks for helping a newb out.
