Hi Im an Young/old guy from Sweden (66 year) and I bought a used 2009 last Year with 13000 kilometers on ODO... In excellent condition and with fantastic acceleration but from beginning I`ve been worried of unstable cooling water temp depending on riding conditions. On big roads riding legally 60-75 mph , temp is not over middle on Tempmeter but coming in Town and slow riding it gets up over halfway up to 3/4 …. feels not ok ! Is the Cooling system underdimensioned on generation 2 ?
Hard to get info from Yamaha dealers locally ; so few bikes sold here in Sweden and no real exsperience !
Changed cooling fluid but was not better ; feels that Ive got "air-traps" in lines when filling.
Perhaps Its needed to use "vaccum Equipment" to fill safe but nothing said on that in Yamaha service manual for Vmax 1700.
We dont have so high Outside temperature here in Sweden but this bike goes awfully warm compared to other bikes I have own/ed. My old Honda Goldwing 1000 -79 is Always on Cold side when running completly different.....
Please come back if its ok or not behavior on my Vmax cooling ! Im nervous
/regards
