wheel

I've found lots of info on moving wheel to the right with washer swap.Is it possible to move the wheel to the left with a larger washer on the right? I have a 150 tire and more interested in centering the rear wheel from the factory offset than going to a larger tire.

I just recently replaced my front stock suspension with some Progressives. Before this was done, my front wheel would bounce and it was worse as speed increased. After the suspension upgrade, it still happens but isn't as bad as before. I really don't notice it until I hit highway speeds. My...

My '03 has a stock front wheel and a UFO Maxdaddy 18" rear wheel, which I think is 5.5" wide (the UFO website doesn't specify--just says it supports up to a 190). My Max is currently running Bridgestones in a 110/80R18 and a 180/55R18. I want to run the stickiest rubber possible and there are...

After a few test runs I have what can be describe as a bad wobble in the front end. I know I know this is a constant subject but was wondering, how much run out on the front wheel is allowable? Steering heads perfect, wheel bearings appear in great shape. 50kmh-80kmh bad wobble that can be...

I love the feel when the front end just floats about 4 inches above the ground. A quick "bump" between first and second and it's airborne again. I must admit I do not have the balls or skills needed to stand it way up, but the power wheelies just make me grin ear to ear. Wifey secretly enjoys...

Hi, im new to the vamx and am either getting clutch slip when I hit about 6000rpm or the tyre is spinning up? Anyone have the same issues? I can have the bike in 5th doing 25mph and roll on the throttle and no clutch slip? Its happened a few times now but only when I really nail the trottle when...

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...

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...

I didn't have much knowledge about Vmax specific techs like 15" rim with massive bias tyre when I bought the bike. After reading much wheel/tyre discussion on this forum I discovered that the rear tyre on my Vmax is actually 150/70 ZR17 size that I considered a bonus which was never mentioned in...

Any body buy the adapter off of ebay uk and a diversion wheel? Any feedback would be great!

I am inching closer to pulling the trigger on a rear wheel for my 2003 Vmax. I currently have the OE machine finish/clear coated wheels. I am looking at the rear, alone, because I just don't have a budget of $2k+. I can swing something south of $1500, though, so this leaves me sorting out a set...

I went to the VA here in Lexington and parked my bike next to a Kawasaki Concours; I couldn't help but notice that it had an 18X3.00 front wheel with a 110/80R-18 front radial tire and a 16X3.50 rear wheel with a 150/60R-16 rear radial tire. I was just wondering if it would be possible to modify...

tried to post on the starvmax site but it appears to be down. so ill ask here. can a tire larger than a 240 40 18 be mounted on the wider rim and clear the swingarm? and the install of the 240 requires the removal of the swingarm inspection cover-what are guys or gals running the 240 doing to...

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...

Nope Nevermind

I am looking for a motorcycle tire specific wheel tiedown (net style) to make it easier to move around the rear of the bikes when tied down. I have chocks and front tiedown points for the front but want to clean up the rear and eliminate the number of straps needed. This is for my enclosed...

Is there any way you can support the gen 2 if you need to remove the front wheel, without special tools?
