Great video, to me this would be a major job but you made it look so easy, i dont even need to remove my wheel but you make it so interesting to watch, thankyou.
Your comment made me laugh. Thank you. Don't let anything scare you on your bike. Just get in and have a go. But I'm glad you wrote and my videos help others. KR
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video , very helpful , and informative. Thank you !
Your welcome. I’m always happy when I know my videos have helped others. KR
Excellent tutorial, mate! I just ordered new tires for my '85 max and I'm about to remove the wheels. Your video, commentary and walk through are just what I was looking for.
Well done sir and thank you!
Hello and thanks for writing. I am always happy when I read comments like yours. Many people would love to repair their bikes but just don't have the confidence. Good luck with the new tire. I'm always here if you need advice or help. PS I always fit Bridgestone!! KR
@@kodokunaraida1044 thank you brother. I expect the process to be a breeze. Famous last words!
I went with a set of Shinko tires this time. The VMax doesn’t get much riding time these days. But it does deserve new shoes.
We are all getting older lolololol I will get new tires on my rebuild I’m doing now. Stay safe KR
@@kodokunaraida1044 isn't that the truth! I'm project free at the moment and it's a double edged sword. Enjoy the project build and may the motorcycle gods be kind to you in your progress!
Thank you BIG help, Ray in the UK
Thank you Ray ( Ray is the same name as my uncle and son) good luck in doing your own painting. KR
Hey man, was replacing rear wheel and had a spare washer. Was the one between the swingarm and the brake caliper bracket. Thank you for this video.
That's great news. I have had guys bring me their Vmax stating that the rear feels loose when they ride. I always look to the washer being missing first. stay safe. KR
wow..ty man. great work, keep going.
Огромное спасибо всё очень наглядно понятно 👍
Я рад, что это помогло. извините, это не по-русски. КР
Just stumbled onto your channel. It's my first year with my new to me 2002 vmax! Loved the video, very informative. I don't even need to remove my rear wheel yet but I watched the whole thing anyway lol. Must mean you're doing something right?
Hello and thanks for watching and supporting my channel. I wish I had more time to make many more videos. I was really happy to read that you enjoyed it and watched it the whole way through. I hope you will continue to watch and enjoy my channel。Thank you again.
You actually did it! Thanks so much for this.
Sorry it took so long to publish. I hope it will help you feel confident to do your own now. Oh I watched your channel and enjoyed your ride on your Vmax. I hope I can ride again when my leg is better
It's called a cotter pin and that thing you call the lock pin is called a pinch bolt.
Other than your terminology very good video.
P.s.
Why don't guys put a tool needed list at the beginning of the video?( Not only you, but every video I've watched. )
Thanks for commenting. The only reason I can say is the time. Videos take hours to record and make. I try in most parts to say what size spammer or torque settings etc but as I’m only a part time TH-camr it’s just taking more time than I have. kR
Thanks
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and subscribing KR
I have been wrenching on Harleys for a few years, this shaft drive made me nervous to think about tire swaps. You created a great step-by-step. Now it doesn't seem near as bad as it looks. Cheers!
Harleys? I’ve only ever seen them behind me! Lololol
I’m glad you will have the confidence to fix your vmax, they are getting old but they are a simple and easy to repair bike.
Thank you always KR
@@kodokunaraida1044 LOL Sounds about right. I started riding in 1995 and my first bike was a '95 ZX-11 and after a few months decided it was too much for me so traded in for the EX-500 lol. I have had several other bikes over the years...a few CB750s, a CB650, Virago, some others. Never wrenched on any of them until i got my first repair bill for a Harley...decided I need to learn and saved myself thousands in tire changes alone lol. So now I have the comfort of a full dresser and soon will have the original Muscle bike to run rampant with =)
The age on the VMax doesn't seem to show much..until you look for parts for one. Seems some things are in abundance but the bigger items are in short supply nowadays.
I’m not sure how many bikes I had ridden until I got my 1985 vmax 10 years ago. I love that old girl but I love the look of my black 1994 now as well. You said you have problems with the front end of your bike, what’s the problem? KR
Ah, well the previous owner seemed to have an altercation with the rear end of a car. Claimed the brakes are bad since they locked up when he was trying to stop (sounds like they work to me, but meh). Messed up the fork. Claimed he replaced the fork with one from a '92 and insisted that the wheel is bent. When I look at it, it looks to me like the fork is a bit out of whack. So I am going to take off the wheel and put it on my balancer and see if it shows. The wheel doesn't wobble on the bike, but it is noticeable as the handlebars go to the right when the wheel is centered and it looks like the forks don't line up correctly. Figure I'll check it out on my balancer before making any knee jerk purchases.
Lots of little issues, but the engine runs like a top, so I still think i got a good deal lol.
It’s an interesting message. About 8 years ago an 85 year old man went through a stop light and hit on my left side on my front wheel. I hit his windscreen and pushed forward to the other side of the road and then hit by a car coming the other way. I broke both legs my and my left arm spitting my bicep in half. But now I’m pretty recovered. The front end of my 85 was ripped of my bike and bent my frame.
I straightened the frame . Replaced the front forks and head bearing set up. So all I was left from original was the frame back.
After fitting it back up it was great.
It sounds like your top head assembly maybe bent and maybe the fork he didn’t replace.
The good thing is that they are not expensive ( well not in Japan)
When we fix a bike after a crash you simply can replace the bent or broken. You must go back further to parts that have absorbed the impact.
I wish so many of my subscribers lived in Japan so I could help and give them parts I have
Exellent
Thank you. I'm glad it helped. KR
Would it be a good idea to grease the axle rod before re-installing? Nice video. I now know what to do when it's time to change tyres.
Hello Brian, yes a little grease is fine . I didn’t mention it in the video as the axle had a little grease on it already. Good luck when you need to remove your wheels. It’s a simple job and I’m glad my video has helped. KR
I have been wondering on how to remove rear wheel from dual arm shaft based motorcycle and once imagining this is the way, but kept thinking no way its gonna be this way. Turns out it is 😂 . Now i understand why even on long range and high speed oriented bike, they use monoarm on shaft driven bike 😅😅
Hello and thanks for commenting. It's a really simple but great idea. I prefer this system than a chain. I'm glad my video helped.
I'm going to order a 170/80/15. I've read that a person has to do something the washers,. Any experienced people out there???
Sorry I’m not sure about that. KR
Please help, what is the actual name of this part and where oh where can I find it?????? The part you pop out with your finger at 14:11.
14:11
It is so much easier than dealing with a chain drive! :)
Daniel howdy. I couldn’t agree more! Not only maintenance is easier but I find the ride smoother and less dangerous. I hope your bike is going well
@@kodokunaraida1044 Bike is doing awesome!

I recently aquired the bike (beggining 2021). It was abandoned with two years just sitting...
I brought it back to life and currently working on details. The beggining of a never ending story. :)
What brand of shock,? How much$ ??, Does it work well??
They were just from EBay. They were better than what I had on the bike before but not fantastic. Make sure if you do buy a new pair of the length from eye to eye. I think they should be 320 mm or 13 inches. KR
Didn't notice till now, but I see that you places a floor jack under the engine at 15:50. Is this necessary in order to remove the rear wheel? Was not in the frame until this point but there was no mention of why it was placed.
Hello and thanks for your comment and question. There is no need for any jack when removing the rear wheel when it is sitting on the center stand. The stand gives you just enough height to slip that rear wheel out. The reason I had placed the jack under the engine was because of my rear shocks. I had fitted after market rear shocks and I wasn’t sure if they would push the rear swing arm down lower than the standard shocks after removing the rear axle so I had it there simply as a precaution, but I didn’t need it. In fact having a jack between the center stand and front wheel is never recommended if you are removing the rear wheel as you may lift the front wheel off the ground causing the bike to fall. Even if you are jacking the bike to remove the front wheel you must be careful. If you jack the bike even slightly lifting the center stand off the ground it can fall over as well. I hope this answers your good question. Stay safe and thank you again for supporting my channel.
If you place a jack under the front of the engine put a flat piece of wood between your scissor jack and the engine and be careful not to trap the oil sensor wire. You only need to raise it by about 1 inch to raise the front wheel off the ground.
So many joke opportunities; gentle, bang, hit, ect., Ect.!!!!!
My mother gets angry at me! KR
