Hi Guys, I just changed head gaskets/O-Rings on my 87, and I need to refill the cooling system. I'm thinking of the following. Slightly elevating the front of the machine, letting it run while filling the radiator, and keep filling until the rear heat exchanger is warm and the level stabilizes. Am I...

Thanks for the replies!!!
Bob, when you say Alky... is that alcohol???? I haven't tried the fit as of yet, but of they are big I might need to do that.

Thanks again for all of the responses. The manual calls for Yamaha Grease.... is that like simple white grease????

Again many thanks!!!

Hi All, I picked up an 87 Vmax last year as most of you know if you have been members for a while. I also restored an 86 as you can see on the picture page under "George". I got the 87 running and after a little while it started to leak antifreeze at the thermostat housing, it was also blo...

Hi Guys, Startron is a fuel additive and I add it to every tank, jug, whatever... last year Maine went to Ethanol and many sleds were burning down. Just add the startron, or the blue marine stabil and you should be good to go. I use 93 octane in my max's. My carbs stay clean, in fact, this was the f...

I just looked at the new photos of the 86 & 87 vmax's that George has (sweet looking BTW!!!). I'm wondering one thing. I noticed that the "YAMAHA" lettering on the 86 snowflap is gold in color. Not white. Is that stock? Were they like that new? Was that a custom touch? Or is that just...
