So,now the rebuilding of my dear v-max finaly starts,the thing is going to be totaly disassembled and every part is being fixed,painted or changed out

I bought the 'max this summer,but i stored it in a friends garage until now because of other projects(such as my exciter and my car).Im not done with the Exciter yet,but i simply could not wait any longer to get this one fixed up

So,its condition is...well,everything has got the shit beaten out of it,but i think the engine could be the best part on the sled...if the odometer(?) is right,its got about 7000 kilometers on it..

All my friends laughed their asses of when i got it,and called me a idiot and a retard.I did not pay much for this sled,but they tought it was WAAAY to expensive.they all drive newer machines and dont know shit about these classics

This project also lies on the totalYamaha forum

But ill let the pictures speak for them self..it may look like shit now,but its possible to make this a good sled again

This was when i got it in the summer,just picked it up from the old barn it was standing in


That dent in the rear of the tunnel could be difficcult to fix


Anyone got a hood for sale?:)


Under what was left of the hood,everything seems to be here execpt for the oil tank




More to come!

So dragged it home the other day,and started the restoration(notice my brothers Ski-Poo in the background one hell of a ride,but im a yamaha-man at heart


Started with the seat,that isnt in that bad condition..The seat cover can be fixed easily,but the wooden plate is rotten to the core


Pics of the holes,heres the two on the top..what looks like a third to the left is actually yellow paint for some reason

[Nikolai]

This is the worst tear,but its mainly ripped along the seem(?) so it could be fixed




This one is for the guys at the v-max forum,:)

Nikolai, looks like you have all the parts, but as normal for these sleds it had the snot beat out of it ! Good luck and keep us updated !
