Fellow Vmax enthusiasts, a scenario/question I pose for you; When setting the cams for valve clearance measurement I followed the Yamaha Manual procedure as follows; Set T1 mark, make sure rear cams have timing marks pointing up and Cyl 1 is at TDC Rotate 180 Degrees and Cyl 3 is at TDC...

I am new. Great site, been doing alot of reading. My question is about measuring the AC voltage at the stator. I have read that you can measure this voltage by measuring across 2 white wires, and also that you can measure it by the red lead on a white wire, and the black lead on ground. If...

I bought the Kindle version of the Cyclepedia manual for the V-Max (the images in the Haynes manual are not very clear). There are a couple of places, including carb sync (see attached), where it refers to using an inductive tachometer to measure the engine speed. The Haynes manual doesn't seem...
