WOW. You saved me soooo much time by not removing my rear wheel. I just upgraded my 85 MAX with high performance rotors. My VMax is an 85. She has 12K original miles,was production number 2,131 off the line in June 1985.She is Red and Black and in near perfect condition. I am the second owner and the old guy I bought it from kept her in a heated garage. I LOVE this Motorcycle. I am looking for a 1995 and a 2005.I buy extra parts all the time just in case.I get great parts from a Motorcycle Mechanic in Japan.He sent me a factory workbook for my bike. Thank you for the video and STAY SAFE on your rocket lol.
Thank you so much for making these videos. There are not a lot of step by step guides for these machines. I'm slowly making upgrades on my 2001 and need all the help i can get.
I have an 85V max with 12,000 original miles.It has the production run number of being number 2131. A Japanese mechanic sent me a Yamaha shop manual to use on my Vmax. I am the second owner
"inherited" an '86 Vmax... 30 years later. Previous owner cared for the machine, but it's time to overhaul a few items. Every video for this era bike is welcomed. And by the way, at 35 years old, this thing still screams!
I noticed you kind of skipped over the rotor bolt removal.. How much trouble did you have removing the old rotor bolts? Did you replace them with oem new?
Thank you for the step by step video. I have a question. I've been searching for that specific rotor but I can't find it anywhere. If you don't mind, what brand is it and where can I purchase one? That rotor gives it a really nice look to it. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
