wheel

Well, as promised Steve (jedi) has sent me the community fly wheel puller, which I am now holding and is available on loan to all Australian Vmax forum members. If you need to remove your fly wheel (and all who tried know how much of a SOB that is!) contact me here via PM or email...

This is for use of the community puller only and does not refer to other puller types. 1. Remove stator cover and the bolt that holds the flywheel onto the crank. 2. Screw the 3 x threaded rods into the f/w face by hand by about 10mm or so, no need to use vice grips or pliers or the...

New here so I may have missed this topic, I am looking for a spoked front wheel, I saw the kit in the German site ( http://www.v-max-f-maerz.de/hauptteil_index.html )but when I worked out the price it was way to much, particularly since I only want a front wheel. Looking for any leads that may...

Here is my front wheel I removed the inner strip around the middle of the wheel and made it one large spoke instead of one interupted one. Here I started and forgot to take before pictures. So I have some of it already cut. Here it is with it all roughed out. Next I have it...

I'm getting a VMax rear wheel powdercoated and want to confirm if the rubber "cush-drive" inserts will survive the de-gas and curing temperatures? I'm pretty sure someone on here was saying they'll be fine but just want to confirm before taking the wheel in.

Does anyone know if I can pull a bearing that I know is good and put into my Kosman wheel? I thought you pretty much destroyed them when you pulled them... My bearing on my Kosman wheel is going south (I knew it was on borrowed time) but I still have my stock wheel and the bearing is good and $$...

Hi! I need a blank wheel 5,5" wide for one of my projects. Customer wants the rims with straight edges on them. I've found rear 10,5" wide rim, but cannot find smaller for the front. Does anyone know where can I find one? I'm attaching 2 pics - the rim with machined inner side is what i...

can you put a thundercat wheel on a early vmax ?

basically i would like to change the stock rear wheel for somethink more meaty or somethink that will help with handleing i would like to know what the cheepest and easest convertion is

I'm not sure what the part is called, but it makes the wheel spin from the diff shaft. I bought a cycle one off wheel and I need to take this part I'm talking about, off my oem wheel, and put it on the cycle one off wheel. The problem is, there are no bolts. Is it pressed in? Do I need to take...

I returned from a ride last night to discover that the rear tire had been rubbing against the drive shaft. The tire needs to be replaced now. And unless I can fix the alignment, the bike will have to be taken to a shop on a trailer. Could someone please explain (in newbie terms) how to fix the...

Not sure if any of you out there have done this conversion but wanted to reach out for some advice: I have got a diversion rear wheel and have had it fitted by a local garage, but it doesn't seem to be right. There is a large gap between the wheel and the shaft drive, big enough for me to...

Well guys, Sean has sold me a set of 1428 chain drive engine cases to build my turbo motor on. Havent got the parts yet, but the swingarm was a PCW setup originally. Sean doesnt know what kind of wheel was on it originally and I am wondering if you guys any ideas or suggesntions? I know the...

I got to use my jedi-matic fly wheel puller on my xvs1100 yesterday and it worked really well. That's the 3rd time I have used it on 3 different bikes including my max without any drama at all. I had wondered if I just got lucky after the first time I used it but now I'm convinced it's the...

Had to stuff it in and use the washer swap but still rubbing a bit. I have a 190/50/17 on there.... but I think I am going to go down to a 180 when I have to change. Now onto the front. BTW, the offset looks bad in the picture, but it really isnt that bad.

Picked up my wheel (Made by Prez) from powder coating and it looks GREAT!!! Now I need to reinstall everything....

I just bought a toyhauler but it wasn't set up to strap down 2 bikes. I need to install more tiedown points and wheel chocks and I want it to look clean when the wheel chocks are removed. Maybe threaded inserts for the wheel chocks instead of just wood screws...

Had my new tire put on the rim..I went to install it, but it acts like it's missing a spacer. According to the parts breakdown, there should be a washer on the locknut side of the shaft bolt and one on the pinch bolt side of the shaft bolt. Problem is, is that there is a gap now. Is there...

I just had my tires replaced with ME880s front and 170/80 back. I had then recieved a call from the shop who switched the tires. They had called because they found a spacer from someones rim. Maybe mine! I put every thing I had taken off by me back on in the same order. Could someone please post...
