Maybe i missed it buy y the stator? New lights need more waaaaatz? Er jus a shhhhhoot old part? Never heard of th mnfr. Fixin to swap in a Ricks 240w stator for my BajaDesign lights. Took out th older Ricks bit because my HIDs were über voltage sensitive. Over 14v theyd cut out. Bad juju sailin full bore into a corner and ur lights go dark. Boo! Crashing sux! Oh, ima hv to disagree bouth th gasket. Im sure its 100% better w a steel core but once you crush/compress the material id say is sus. Jus spring for an oem bit. And hopefully youll never need to use it over n over. 😬😬 jus sayin Maybe buck up for a Rcks stator too. 🤷🏻♂️

Sorry mate but no way is that even close to the cheapest v max on the internet. That bike is mint and no it's never been outside. Don't be ashamed that you can buy nice bikes. I bought a 1995 v max for $1800 USD and it was a mouldy, rusty pile of 🐄💩 but the engine ran well. Your bike is a million times nicer

Hello. I done this job. I think it will be ok.I have a question. I read that I must verify that my cams are getting oil. I read that I must take out the bung beside the Tensioner. I did and have turned the engine over using the starter with the plug removed. Please tell me why no oil has come up so far. ( New oil and new filter). Thank you.

Great video, i'm down east in Nova Scotia I have a 2018 DRZ400S, I do a lot of riding has 31000 kms on it now, I'm getting a lot of deceleration pops when I let the throttle go but none in acceleration and It stalls every week or so once then takes a few min to start again but will run fine in between, starts up real easy, I am going to check the clearances and take the carb off and clean it, I use an NGK iridium spark plug and only use supreme fuel.

Not the proper way to rebuilt a carburetor. if you have to do what this dude is doing, you should pay a professional. You always, take down completely soak in Carburetor cleaner for a hours or so, depending how dirty it is. The reassemble to factory specks, using the factory service manual.

Try an MT-21 on the front next time you need a new front tire. They are more predictable than the front D606 in dirt and gravel.

I have a kick starter on my australian 2012 DRZ-400E model, the battery seems to charge up when I ride the bike, but after sitting for awhile like a few days to a week or so it gets flat fast, all I gotta do is kick it over with the ignition turned on, and it fires right up, even when it can't start up with the e start button, love it best mod to have on any dirt or trial bike.

I'm sorry that you don't know how to clean Vmax carburetors. Actually, better could have been done without ever taking the carbs off than what you did. Then, you had the float open and you never cleaned the pilot jet which is the one smallest orifice in the whole carburetor that gums up very easily. Taking the float cover off and diddling the float is funny nonsense.
