The Yamaha V-Max is a motorcycle that is lauded for its power and comfort as a cruiser. It’s a bike that first made its appearance in 1985, earning considerable acclaim. If you’re a former owner then this will bring back fond memories. If not, then here are 10 interesting facts about the Yamaha V-Max that you probably didn’t know. 1. The Yamaha V-Max was prized for its power One of the things that made the Yamaha V-Max such a popular motorcycle was the power that it packed. The engine was a powerful V-4 1197 cc liquid cooled that generated horsepower and lb ft of torque. It reached a top speed of 150 miles per hour. 2. The V-Max won an award its first year out The Yamaha V-Max got off to a great start by winning the distinction of being called the “Bike of the Year” by Cycle Guide. It was marketed in Japan and other countries throughout the world. There are few bikes that gain such instant success and popularity with riders. 3. The Reviews were a mixed bag Although the V-Max was a highly popular motorcycle, not everyone was happy with its performance. An exceptional trait was its fast acceleration. There were no complaints about this aspect of the bike. The majority of criticisms were lodged about its soft suspension and poor ability to corner. While we can’t deny that this was definitely the case, when you fall in love with a bike there are some things that you’re willing to overlook. 4. There were few mods made from 1985 through 2007 For a solid twelve years of production, Yamaha found little reason to add to or take away from the V-Max design and engineering. This was a strong indicator that they had created a motorcycle that was destined to become a classic. There really wasn’t a need to do much differently because the bike provided riders who were looking for a cruiser with good acceleration with everything that they needed at the time, with the exception of one major tweak. 5. The V-Max needed a wobble correction In 1993 Yamaha made the one big update that the V-Max needed. They engineered it to have a new fork with a larger diameter because of drift and wobbling at higher speeds. Upgrades to the brake calipers and a few tweaks to satisfy safety and handling regulations were implemented but overall, the bike remained unchanged. 6. The V-Max came out as a new concept bike in 2005 A brand new V-Max was introduced to the world as a concept bike at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. The new version of the bike was presented sporting upgraded components all around, a new chassis and braking components which were state of the art. 7. The Yamaha V-Max wasn’t launched in India until 2009 Although it’s hard to believe that it took this long to happen, the Yamaha V-Max didn’t make its way to the country of India until 2009. The exact date of delivery was September 20th. The bike had received such acclaim throughout the world that this market was not explored until two and a half decades after its initial release. 8. The power sensation needs explanation When you look at the specifications of the Yamaha V-Max and you hear about its amazing power, you may wonder where it’s coming from. It’s really about the sensation of power. It doesn’t really come from the horsepower, but more from the pulse of the engine, its character and from its sound. The feel of power is a unique psychological experience. 9. The new V-Max is designed to achieve the optimum in power We’re not finished talking about the power of the Yamaha V-Max yet. In addition to providing the unique sensation, the new V-Max received an engine with a V-4 configuration that is just a hair beneath 1,680 cc which is larger than the 1985 predecessor. 10. Yamaha addressed the cornering and handling concerns The 1985 version through the 1993 V-max received criticism for the way it handled and how difficult it was to handle corners smoothly. The newer edition has been improved with a new suspension and redesign that makes it handle like a dream. Whereas you had to slow way down to take corners with the older version, the new one lets you take them at the recommended speed with the greatest of ease.

Mar 25, 2012. #5. RaWarrior said: I would go with a 170-80-15 rear and the 110-90-18 front, both ME880's. Expect to use two back tires to one front, maybe three if you like to do burnouts a lot. I've got nearly 10k on the front and I'd guess it's maybe at 50%.One of the main reason for causing this “wacky” feeling when driving your V-max are the aged original tires, which sit on very narrow rims. In comparison with today’s modern radial ply tyres they cause chassis unrests much faster. They also did not really fit in the overal “big” V-max view. So you need broader rims for modern tires, …… we offer a large selection to you. All our rims/wheels and/or wheel sets (except 595B, 591C and 593D) are supplied to be built in the motorcycle in the same wheel track as the original rear wheel. We offer for chassis improvement up to rims for 180’s and 190’s tires. Wider rims (starting from 6,00 width) required the motion link to be changed, if not, the rear wheel runs for at least 10 mm outside track. (Even if some “specialist” tell something else-but why do they offer in connection with 6″ rim a new brake support?). All rims/wheels offered by us are supplied with wheel bearings, shaft seals and valves ready to be installed. The original brake assembly or a re-equipment offered by us can be used. Our widened aluminum wheels are completely all around welded, not screwed, as in the past many problems occured with screwed aluminum rims on aluminum casting hubs (by the two different materials). If you select a rim/wheel, which is offered “in exchange”, please send your old wheel/rim first. Chassis No. (vehicle Ident. No.) is required. Note: No Tires included in the price, they have to be ordered separately (in that case: assembly and balancing free of charge). 590 Rim behind Vmax 1200 590 Wheelset1200 590 Rim front tire Vmax 1200 598A Design wheels Turbo 598B Design wheels Yamaha Diapason 599A Rim / Wheel Damper bushes 599B Rim / Wheel Axle nut cover 599C Wheelhub Front wheel cover 599X Complete wheel bearing set front 599Y Complete wheel bearing set rear The new V max costs $11,199(Raven/Shift Red Flames) and it is available from July 2006.But a very well taken care of V max with a low number of miles on board depending on the year of fabrication Zobrazeno 1-13 inzerátů z 13 Lokalita Suzuki GSXR 1300 Hayabusa 148 Kw Barracuda GP STK do 2026 - [ 2022]Prodám první Hayabusa Suzuki Gsxr 1300, r. v. 1999, odblokovaná 340 km/h!
