OK, know this has featured before, so apologies, but an associated query. Acquired a rear wheel with an hardly worn tyre at a very good price. However, knowing the wheel had stood for some time, decided attention beyond cleaning made sense. Replacing wheel bearings and seals seems sensible...

Looking to buy either a kosman upgrade or other 17 for my 85. Thanks Jeremy

I just got my bike back after having a new rear tire fitted. When I got home I tried to turn the rear wheel on the center stand and it was tight although i could rotate it. The outside brake pad seems to be hard against the disc The dealer said that it just needs to settle in and...

.....while doing a 140mph!! http://viralsurvival.com/2014/06/23/high-speed-crash-on-motorcycle/

My '03 has a stock front wheel and an 18x5.5" in the rear. It's currently got a Battlax B023 110/80R18 up front and an Exedra G850 180/55R18 in the rear. I've found some decent 110/80 front tires like the Pilot Roads or Angels but none of the have matching 18" rears. With the 5.5" wheel, a 180...

Im trying to find a container that fits under the rear seat that will hold my wallet and phone and is water proof. Any ideas? Thanks

I changed my worn out metzeler 880 to michelin commander II and now bike "wobbles" around 40-45mph, it feels like its up and down movement? I can take my hands of the bars when it occurs. I think it made this sometimes with old tire too, but now it is all the time at that speed. Lower or higher...

Hi i was wondering if anyone has attempted using the venture frame (1983-85 - 1200cc) just to get the monoshock look? I am not looking to add all the other rubbish/dead weight, basically just looking for a monoshocked rear end to my vmax, which would give me a springboard for further mods...

I am having problems seeing how the rubber mounted rear wheel hub comes off. I am stripping the wheels to have them powder coated. I thought the hub just pulled straight up off the 5 rubber cylinders in the wheel.:ummm: The service manual just shows pictures and I am still not sure. Also while I...

While I appreciate how much work was done here, I can't help but wonder how reliable would that driveshaft and u-joint be inside....

Have anybody put progressive springs on stock rear shocks? Any good, or should I just ditch the stock ones and put on new shocks alltogether..? Front needs progressive springs, I want get rid of that dive when braking, but rear end isn't so bad I think. I dont know about better though, max is my...

HI GUYS I am a newbie to the vmax, have been riding for 56 years. I need to know if there are radial tires available with the stock sizes. ON A different topic I need to find out if what is involved in raising back to stock a REAR end that has been lowered. bought my 02 a couple of months ago...

Hello everyone, About a 220cv 1700 Vmax. I would like to change the rear wheel of the Vmax 1700. The original size is 200mm large, I would like to change to a 240mm. Of course mounting a larger gummy, normally the handling could be worse. However, my friend owns a Ducati Diavel with a 240mm...

Anyone know where I can find some rear foot peg relocators?

So I did a search on these forums and been looking at my Clymers.... I'm thinking the previous owner removed a part I wasn't aware of. The way I understand it from the Clymers is there should be a metal inner fender with the plastic one? Mine apparently doesnt have the metal one... and the...

Just for you ricky. who care;s about your dumb feet. Look close at 840 and 850, at 840 gen1 gets a wheelie behind gen2 and at 850 gen1 blows buy the gen2 on the rear wheel.:rofl_200: make sure you watch on full screen.:biglaugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCtdA6UR2tE

Looking at a new rear tire to get me through the new riding season. Running Metzler Marathon now, but for way less money, I found the Shinko 011 Verge. Any thoughts?

Hey guys I have a quick question. The rear turn signal lights, are they just turn signals or are they also running lights. I thought they were both and last night I noticed that they were not on.:ummm: The turn signals still work. If they are both what could be some possible solutions...

Hi guys, just came to part where I need to assemble rear swing arm and something does not look ok. There is too much space between frame and rear arm. Spacers are there but when i tighten both screws swing arm has some free left-right movement, around 5 mm. My frame was sandblasted and swing...
