Thanks for uploading this fella you gave me a lot of confidence giving this a shot! I have the kit to do it so why not. The reason I am here is because my from right brake pad/disc is making a loud tick sound every now and then like someone is flicking the brake pad clip and releasing it, it’s an odd one for me, plus first thing in the morning I can hear a faint scratching on the disc until I brake hard to stop it so maybe my pads are low?? Either way grateful I found you even if you are a two wheeler!

I’m 72. Bought my VMax new in 2001. Still ride it. Very dependable bike. Got tired of changing out rear tires so I ride less aggressively these days.

It's the only true step up from a Kawi H2 triple...and fairly easy to ride, unlike that Kawi. Picture a GT750 Suzi water buffalo with 160 horsepower. I love the V-max

Any idea when rotor need replaced, mechanic want rotor & brake pads replaced together for $$$$. Rotor is metal, brake pad is not, not make sense brake pad can scratch/damage metal rotors ?!
@2wheelmaniacrides Жыл бұрын
So rotors wear down over time as friction wears down all things. And rotors are typically replaced every 30,000-80,000 miles depending on usage. If you're a late breaker then you might have warped rotors or something else they are seeing.

This bike was developed to compete with the Honda V65 magna. I have owned 10 V65's and 3 vmax's. My current max is a 94. I'm running 170 main jets and a kerker straight pipe. Making 180 hp at the crank. Scary fast machine.

You obviously dont know anything about the V65 and V45 Magnas which were Honda's cruisers in this class. The V65 was 996 cc, 50lbs lighter, way more maneuverable and 99.9% as fast. They could outrun the V-Max the first eighth of a mile and then the V-boost would allow it to sneak past at the finish. First made in 83, smooth as silk V4, 16-valves and ruled the roost for 2 years. Owned both. Bought the V-Max just 4 years ago. Love it but the Magna was a better looking and performing bike in every way, but the last 100 feet of the quarter-mile.
@JeffMarcum 4 жыл бұрын
I owned a 1986 V65 Magna and agree with your comparison. It was actually 1098cc, by the way. A friend of mine bought a 1993 Vmax and of course we rode each other’s bike. The Magna was superior in every way except the difference in performance you mentioned. Honda destroyed the Magna in 1987 by making it look like a Harley. Haven’t had a bike in 10 years, but the urge to ride again bit me recently and I wanted another power cruiser. There is really only one to choose from these days: VMAX. Three weeks ago I bought a 2020 VMAX. It’s much better than the first generation.

The air filter box gets nothing from the side aesthetic air scoops, the v-boost flap is located in the connecting manifold below the carbs and bolted to the heads, at 5750 rpm the servo starts to open the flap allowing each firing cylinder to draw air and fuel mixture from two carburettors, this continues to open fully if you keep increasing the revs, hope this helps explain

I had one the same as this, 1985 full power with Kerker pipes and extra tuning to 165 bhp. It was a monster for acceleration but the handling was very average. The forks would vibrate like mad over 110mph. Took it to 150mph on the speedo and was still pulling. Useless 3 gallon fuel tank which only did 85 miles before reserve.

Overall, the V-Max was 2,300 mm (91 in) long, 795 mm (31.3 in) wide, and 1,160 mm (46 in) high. The engine was a tuned version of the double overhead camshaft, four valve per cylinder, liquid-cooled V-4 from the Yamaha Venture. Along with other modifications to the engine, the compression ratio was raised to 10.5:1, and the V-Boost system was added.
