questions

Let me preface this by saying this sight is great and I've found a lot of useful information so far! OK, so here's my situation.... 85 vmax that's been sitting for 8-12 years. The good? It's been garage kept this entire time AND it's free (it was my Dad's, he doesn't ride anymore). I know this...

If I have missed the info I am asking for in my searches, i apologize. Found some similar posts, but they were several years old. I have had my 96 for about a month now. Use it as a daily driver for work as much as possible. AVERAGE round trip for work is 160 miles. Hasn't been raining much...

So the PO had Knology Hotwires and Splitfire 416c plugs in. I am now switching over to the COP's setup. So now going from resistorless plugs to plugs with resistors correct?? My other questions are: Which spark plugs should i use with the new denso COPs? Whats your suggestions on running...

1. Why has the Arcade been disabled for so long? :confused2: 2. When I click on the Videos button next to Search, I get told I am not allowed to view/post there. What is the reason for this? :ummm::ummm::ummm:

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies, Been watching the VMax market for a bit and found one I believe I am going to nab. After my childhood bikes I went from cruisers (VTX1800/Valkyrie) to sport bikes (R6/CBR600/CBR954RR) and now wanting something the wife and I can both ride for short jaunts without...

93 VMax. I have been having some little hiccups lately with the bike and I think they have something to do with the charging system. When I check the voltage at the battery with the bike running I get all sorts of weird readings. At idle it's charging about 14V and when I rev it to about 3k...

I received my supertrapps today (used) - I am confused about the end caps, the pictures online show disks and a closed dish end cap as standard. These have a first inner disk with a triangle plate tack weleded in with a small central hole about 10mm / then two normal disks / then an outer...

From what I read, removing the airbox completely, and using individual air filter seems to take away allot of airflow restriction. Any thoughts on this>? What are the 'Fracture-split carburized con rods '? I read about them being on the new Vmax. Can I get the valve tool separately? The...

I'm new to forums, so bear with me. I do find this forum an excellent source, and I'm thankful & fortunate (we) have it. I always wanted a vmax. Pretty expensive most often, but I picked up a 1985 that had been stored in a large bin for nearly 6 years. Pretty good shape. Approx. 23,xxx miles...

Hey all, I have been reading as many threads as I can about upgrading the brakes. I have an 04, so the R1 doesn't really appeal to me. Also, I'm not fond of the blue or gold inserts on those. What I'm looking at is the 6 pots off an FZR or YZF bike. I know they're kinda hard to come by, but...

Will a 1993 swing arm fit a 1990 anyone know for sure

I am trying to determine if certain parts on my 2005 have been changed out. They just seem to be out of place. First, is the front frame cross brace (one above oil filter) mat black to match the frame or is it gloss black? Also, are the upper and lower tanks on the radiator mat black or gloss...

Hi guys, I have been getting some prices to rebuild my carbs. I would love to send them over to the USA to be rebuilt but with freight it will take to long. Anyway I was thinking of doing them myself and I have got a few different prices on parts. It seams that different companies provide more...

It's been over 500 miles of riding bliss now, and for the first time I twisted the throttle HARD at 70 mph. As most of you know from experience, the Max shot up to over 100mph in a heartbeat. It was a nice rush early in the morning and really got the blood pumping. But... As I reconnected my...

I have some suspension setup questions about my Vmax that I need some help with. First off, it's a 93 Vmax with USD fork conversion, sport bike wheels off of a gsxr, works connection rear shocks, and a Fischer Millenium swingarm. The front forks are from a 91-93 fzr1000 and it has MEK triple...

Hey all, I am going to send Sean my stuff next week to get his muscle kit. I am confused on what exactly I am supposed to send him though. Is it just the lid of the airbox or the whole thing? Also, does anyone have his kit that is using stage 1 needles? This is what I currently have, and if...

Hi all: First: My Max has blue spot calipers front and back, and I'm wondering if removal of the blue inserts will allow me access to the brake pistons (since getting them out from the inside workings of the caliper is a pain in the butt.) Second: I emailed qualitypartsonline.com a couple...
