reservoir

So I'm a jackass, and I make a lot of mistakes. Luckily I'm learning a lot along the way. A screw for my front brake reservoir was stripped, so I decided to drill a pilot hole and use my bolt extractor bit to get it out. Well, the head of the screw ripped off, and I now have an unclear amount...

Here we go again, I have a nice set of reservoir covers I'm giving away. Free shipping to USA. :thumbs up: First person gets them!!

We've had a week or so of 100 degree weather. I ride EVERY DAY in Los Angeles to and from work (for the past 22 years) but I especially noticed the bike running hotter than usual a few late afternoons last week, and some overflow from the down-tube of the coolant reservoir dripping beneath the...

I dropped my bike today :sad2:, but it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. But I do have one issue: the mirror threads on the right break reservoir broke off with the mirror (I guess it was tougher than I thought). Any idea on how to secure the mirror back on? the threads left on the...

Howdy, I had to flush the cooling system/radiator etc. I went to refill and noticed that the reservoir was clear full and the coolant isn't being drawn back into the system. I expected a lower system coolant level to cause a drawback of coolant but that doesn't seem to be happening. What...

OK, I know this front brake reservoir is made by Nissin and it has a 14 stamped on it. However I can not find a similar one in any forum pic's. It is working perfectly but I want to change the cover to chrome or polished aluminum. The other side(clutch) looks like stock Yamaha and already has a...

I was draining my front brake reservoir and found this thin piece of metal that fit across the reservoir lengthwise(see pix). What is it's purpose?

was messing with bike today still wondering about the gas spitting out, and checked my radiator reservoir and found it had oil in it, :bang head:, any ideas thanks

I was just checking the fluids on my bike, and noticed that the plastic cap on the coolant reservoir was coming apart at the top. Does anybody know where I can order a new cap online? I'm trying to save a trip back to the dealership.

Just like the title says, I'm trying to bleed the clutch after rebuilding the master and slave cylinders on a '94 VMAX. I'm using a syringe and reverse bleeding it and everything. When I pull in the clutch lever in all that is happening is the fluid is getting pumped back into the reservoir...

Hey all, I am flushing my coolant this weekend and when I removed the reservoir to clean it, there was what looked like algae inside. I filled with 50/50 distilled water and vinegar, let it sit and flushed it out. Didn't look any different. Any ideas on how to get this junk out? Thanks.

Does anyone have the part number for this? My reservoir tank cap is cracked on the side. Not sure how dangerous this is, but I'm going to replace it. I'm having a hard time finding this part. Thanks!

Does anyone know where to buy some cool looking R1 brake and clutch reservoir brackets? I have seen some on Ebay , but they are only the Brake and not the clutch... Any ideas for the R1 Masters would be awesome. Thanks for all your imput Scooter

I fill and bleed the system, and after a couple of thousand miles, the clutch starts dragging a little. I pop off the reservoir lid, and the fluid level is halfway down. I fill it, and after a couple thou more miles, same thing happens. I can't see any leaks or residual fluid anywhere, and since...

Looking for some help with these screw sizes. I had to drill out one of my reservoir cap screws so I need some new ones. The metric ones I found at the hardware store I think were 8/32 and looked right, but are a bit too large. Does anyone who has replaced these remember what size they are...

Anyone know where to find the black reservoir covers with 'VMax' on them? I've seen them on ebay randomly but thats about it. one of mine may have a few vicious file marks on it...:whistlin:

Decide to go with different Reservoir and Mounting setups on the front and rear of my 09 R1. The front setup is one that is designed by Rizoma to work in the fashion that it is used. The rear however is my use of their front mout bracket to work with my SATO rearsets and tuck everything in...

I purchased the chrome "vmax" reservoir caps off ebay and feel like I tightened down pretty good but they still seem to leak just barely a drop after a long ride. Each side will have just a drop of fluid coming out. Should I tighten those phillips screws up a bit? I don't want to strip it...

i had to add a little brake fluid & now the thing won't stop leaking i didn't add too much it still needs more it leaks from the right side of the reservoir any ideas is the rubber boot already bad i only have 6000 miles on the bike. thanks for any help
