I have a set of stock size shinkos in the garage ready to go on. Should I go ahead or just run these for a while once I get my bike running. The tread depth is great front and rear, but I'm a bit concerned about the cracking. I know that they've been sitting for almost five years now... Sent...

Soak slides fully submerged in WD 40 overnight to loosen glue. Then instead of using a screwdriver to knock slide loose from diaphragm holder, I use a deep well 3/8 drive socket with a 6 inch extension to drive the slide loose from diaphragm holder instead of a screwdriver which is where most...

...and I'm talking when you do not have a spare! Also, before we get too far in, this ends at a locksmith so don't get your hopes up about filing a new key for yourself. I'm not saying it isn't possible, that is just another level! On with it. So you lost your only key to your V-Max...

I'm thinking the clutch slave cylinder is bad on my 1991 Vmax. I found some fluid under the bike and the fluid in the clutch resevoir is low. The bike is also shifting a little harder tha usual. I'm planning on buying a new complete slave cylinder instead of rebuilding my current one. I'm...

Wanting to replace the rashed stockers, do not like the stock look and hate alot of noise. Really like the looks of the kerker slipons but how quiet can these be tuned? Any suggestions? Not looking for performance gains just need to replace banged up o.e.m's. Thanks, Tom

Well I’ve read the service manual and I've searched the forum for a post or set of posts that gives a step by step on how to replace the steering head bearings and it doesn’t seem to exist. :confused2: There is some general information on assembly disassembly and adjustment but not on...

Hi Guys, Well, I never thought I'd say this, but after long consideration, I thinking about buying a 2006 Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle V Rod... I've been on the fence about what to do for this Summer's riding season regarding the decision of either heavily upgrading my current 1995 Yamaha...

I?m in the process of replacing leaking fork seals on my ?97. Everyone?s advice to use an impact wrench worked well. I?ve read what I can and it seems that most people are simply replacing the oil seals. But, the on-line service manual (under VMF Links) says the following on pg. 6-31: If you...
