Your videos helped my a lot. A present for you: I am doing professional electronics since 30 years. You repaired ok. But to make it perfekt, first check all solder junctions under a microscope. Clean PCB and the solder junctions with alcohol or with a cleaner spray extra made for PCB`s and electronic. Check again under a microsope, search for a mechanically failed solder junction (sometimes not easy to see). Often more than one solder junction is defect, if defect or not depens sometimes on the temperature of the PCB, there is a mechanical gap of 0.0xmm. After cleaning it well put a flux for electronic solder on the solder junction, solder with PbSn (Plumbum-Tin solder, lower melting point, more ductile, at the date of production it was probably the same PbSn). Resolder all junctions, don`t put the solder iron temperature to high, ideal use a modern temperature controlled solder iron with a suitable solder iron tip size. Clean again with alcohol all solder junctions, inspecht again under the microsope. To make it perfect - if possible replace the old electrolytic capacitors by new electrolytic capacitors, same capacitance, same or higher nominal voltage, prefer japanese manufacturers. At least 105°C types or 105°C + Longlife types. Spray the solder junction with a clear 1K paint (extra made for PCBs, e.g. Kontakt Chemie Plastik 70) against humidity, this paint can be soldered again for repairing thru the paint.

Very nice video, well done. Bike looks like lifted from the Titanic.

Excellent Tutorial

Love my Gen 1. It's good to see people restoring them to keep the legend on the road!

Omg that's epic, can I buy one from you?

Can the rear suspension be lowered on a 98 vmax ? My feet barely touch the ground 😎regards jeff

Hello

good video but better without music....just saying

I wish they made a bar that would just bolt on in place of the backrest.

Hello from France I just discovered your vid, and just congrats, your explain are very tight and clear ! I'm asking myself some question, and perhaps could you help me to answer it I'm keen on V-Max, but I'm not taller ( 5"6), and I wonder If I could move it on slow speed maneuvers easily and if my riding position will be confortable. Could you precise me, how tall are you ?! By the way, I think the specific handling and the danger of it in some situation, make debates and create also the Legend of the V_max .... but But I'm 50 years old,- and a calm boy!-, and I want to ride again after 10 Years stopping riding, For this, and to find the tips and tricks of riding,I' took riding lessons last months Do you think, it could be doable in good conditions for me ,riding a V-Max right now ?! I thanks you a lot, Regards, ride safe ✌ John-christophe

thank you man..great job.

wow..ty man. great work, keep going.

Spray painting is not durable at all. After a month, it peels off. Normally, you should heat the spray-painted pieces to 200 degrees. You probably already found this out.:)))

❤😍👏👏👏

Your vídeos are super useful for me and my vmax ❤❤

Thank you for explain.

Brilliant video, very helpful and well explained, followed this on my Vmax, made a big improvement but will not rev above 4000rpm, any ideas?

Thanks so much

Nice

Thanks for this video Vincent today I installed seans kit with your video!

DO A LOT OF THESE 1st. GEN. V-MAX's SUFFER CHARGING PROBLEMS? IM A NEW OWNER OF ONE. 1994- 17,000 MILES.

Great videos as always watched and subscribed since day 1,have you put any thoughts into a fuel gauge, ive been looking and the only way i can see around it is drilling the tank with a fuel level sensor

Before I can unlock the handle by pushing accelerator and moving the steering Now I can't be able to unlock my handle . Only i can able is by using putting another key into ignition can we have any suggestions about it

Has this bike, which was advertised on Facebook, been sold?

Hi, Been watching Your videos for about three weeks on the V Max great stuff very enjoyable, I have a Question on your video dislikes on the V Max you mention various things brakes etc. I really want to get one of these bikes I have seen one and been in touch with the garage its a 1992 model would this year have the faults which you do not like or has this been upgraded, Thank you from Barry

Now I change it alone. Thanks

Watching you ride this tiny mountain road makes me nervous!

Сколько давление масла на холостом ходу?

Great video, to me this would be a major job but you made it look so easy, i dont even need to remove my wheel but you make it so interesting to watch, thankyou.

Nice job on the refurbushment! Are the mufflers stock? Doesn't look like it.

I love the sound of this vmax exhaust.

I was in my office with a little bit of down time so I came across your video, I could not wait for 5:00pm to get here so I could go home to check if my Vmax Vboost was actually functioning, sure enough I got nothing when I turn the ignition on. I could not thank you enough for your videos since they help me so much that in this particular case I knew exactly what to do, I did end up doing a module hack but at least it is now working and I cant wait to taste it. I've had my 97 Vmax for a year now and she is so powerful that I never realized that the Vboost wasn't even working 😆, I will be visiting Japan again this summer.

Very beautiful images and nice filming techniques. You understand the delicate beauty of Japan better than Japanese people. That sensibility is also shared by your love for Vmax.

I had a starting issue after riding for about an hour so I have done some readings and is my stator at fault, battery 12.45v Engine start 10.25v Engine running 12.90v to 13.05v Stator reading 0 on earth test Stator Continuity 2, 2, 2, Stator AC current 16,17v. Can i ask on your thoughts thanks in advance 🙏

Bonjour. J'adore vos vidéos et je vous remercies beaucoup pour ce magnifique partage. Je suis un grand fan du 1200 vmax ( j'en ai une de 1997 ) et grâce à vous je la restaure petit à petit. Merci ✌👍

3:28 I've seen some motorcycles catch fire while filling the tank, so since very young I adopted a rule of getting off the bike to fill it. So, for me, this is not a negative side.

Big help mate, regards from London

Brilliant info keep them coming

These bikes are a joke to work on as an average Joe in the street

Hey man, was replacing rear wheel and had a spare washer. Was the one between the swingarm and the brake caliper bracket. Thank you for this video.

Create video

Good job.A video of your work would be very helpful. Thanks also for the information on the repair kit.

Is it OK to reuse those copper washers?

Привет друг мой, Винсент! Здорово, молодец! Я тебе на почту написал, посмотри) В тему нашего прошлого разговора)

We will have to do some GTO content when you’re here!!

便利な道具ですね　😳　Amazon？

Highly informative video as usual. Not gonna lie, it took me over 2 hours to bleed the cluch and brake fluid in my Vmax last winter after replacing the old, crusty hoses with new stainless steel line. Just couldn't get all the air bubbles out. Finally had to use the reverse bleed method with a veterinary 100cc hypodermic. Used up over a liter of brake fluid. You make it look easy! Next time, I'm using that tool.

That's a smart tool 👍, looking forward for next video

Привет Винсент! Здорово получается у тебя! Молодец!
