tire

I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting now...but maybe I should go back to where this story started. Last Thursday I flew from Michigan to Colorado Springs to help my sister move her belongings back to Michigan. We picked up a 26' U-Haul then went to her storage unit and proceeded to load...

I need some sort of flexible extension to screw onto the valve stems to check the tire pressures. The VMax is a pain in the ass, but the Roadstar with the spoked wheels is a true horror show... Or else could someone recommend me a accurate pressure gauge that has a filler that will snake...

Hi Guys- I'm running stock Tires on a 06'. According to my manual, for my weight, I should have 33 Front and 36 Rear. That's cold Temp. Any idea what that's equivalent in warm Temp? Also.. I was told that I could put as much as 21 PSI in my forks. Does that seem high? I thought i read...

Ther is something very strange</SPAN> haapnd after I changed the my rear tire I changed my avon 160/70 17" to a pirelli 170/60 17" ? (a wider tire) After we finished the installion ? I saw thet i have more room now between the swingarm to the tire - comparing then the old tire (???!)...

So I'm looking to replace the rear tire on my Yamaha VMX 1200 V-Max 2002 I was wondering if there are any instructional video and/or list of tools needed. I'm also curious to the torque specs needed for the bolt on the rear axle. Any information is highly appreciated.

I called my local cycle store to see if they can put a Shenko tire on my max and they said they wont put them on cause they are a pain and trouble . they said around here they call then shitko ,so I guess i may go with an inexpensive tire like a dunlop 404 .i put 500to 1000 miles a season so...

So the stock tire size is 110/90/18=25.79" can you get a radial tire that size? 2nd question will a 120/70/18=24.61" fit with no modifications? 3rd I ordered the progressive lowering spring kit and the guy I spoke to said he recommends lowering it 1.5" and then lower the forks another 3/4" so...

I was a lil shocked to see the Shinko 200/50/18 that much taller than the Avon 170/60/18 side by side. I really thought the Shinko was going to be shorter it being a 50 series:confused2: was really happy it was taller

My cousin wants a Gen 1 Vmax but only if he can get a wide tire kit. He is talking 300 wide. I know this requires a swing arm and likely a chain conversion. What options are out there, new or used? Thanks!

The question is, how do you feel about them, and who has the better product. Changing out the tires on my 03, and thinking about using the beads. Any opinions on tires? What works best or is it just personal preference. I'm a pleasure rider, not a racer, but I do love the power now and then. I...

I'm updating an Old Excel Spreadsheet I downloaded from the web years ago. I would appreciate as much info as you can give me regarding the BIAS Tires you use on your Stock Rim Equiped Gen1 VMax. Mileage front and rear, 170 Tire fitment (was washer Swap needed), Performance Wet/...

Hi guys I need a new rear tire for my max and I am on a tight budget .I am looking at the shinko tour master 230 and the 712 .i ride about 500 to 750miles a season and was wondering how these would be ?.

Over this winter I'm gonna need to put new tires on my bike. Now I did find a new Dunlop 250/40R/18 for the rear from RockyMountain motorsports for $175.99 w/ free shipping but my front is a 120/70R/19 and they don't show that size on their website. Anyone know where to find that size Dunlop...

Weird problem, I just picked up a 91 that needed fork seals. I had them replaced, but the bike still handles like crap, it wants to pull back and forth. In other words, if you turn left, it wants to keep going left, you really have to fight it to bring it back to straight. Seems going left is...

Hi All, I want to share some pictures of my 99 VMAX after a few modifications I have done on it such as a 17" rim and 200 mm tire and some body work with composites. I will probably get to the details later sometime if there is any interest here but I would really like to know what you...

Anyone ever seen this? Any idea if its relatively simple or what extra parts are involved? Would love to find one on the east coast already fatted up for me. Thanks. CvS

Hi. i just got my 02 max..finally...yay me. ;) ok..dont really know the bikes history. I do know the front tire is really warn...almost on one side more than other? the guy assured me that ...it shakes at speed...and he says its because of the bad tire. I dont believe it myself. So im...

Just thought I would put a update on my tires. I installed them a little over a week ago. July 14th for the rear and July 16th for the front. I have just over 800 miles on the rear now and 200 on the front. The rear felt good on take off and around corners. With the rear being new and the...

I bought a 1985 Vmax today. It has lots of mods including a 5.5" wide suzuki rear wheel. The tire is quite worn and should be replaced. I would like to know what the safe maximum size tire I can run on this wheel. Thanks, Tony
