This is my '83 V-Max 540. It's a work in motion. Not done yet but getting better every few months.

My airbox is held on by one screw, not because Im lazy but because it is less weight!

My plan is to completely go through this sled. I have already gone through the rear skid. I replaced all 13 bearings and ordered/replaced any worn out parts with new Yamaha parts. They were not cheap. Then I have gone through the front end. Took out all the TSS bushings and greased them up and replaced all new tie rod ends and shim kit. I also replaced the primary clutch. My bellypan has dents but I have a used pan that is perfectly straight. I also have an extra set of narrow skiis. I'm going to powdercoat the skiis and bellypan and then replace. I will also take out the motor and replace the crank seals and check the remaining bearings and lastly ceramic coat the exhaust. I plan on bringing it right up to or very close to show winning condition. It's a nice piece to start with as it only has 1300 miles on it.
