YAMAHA V-Max spare parts – everything for the classic muscle bike

The Yamaha V-Max is no ordinary motorcycle – it's a legend. Since its market launch in the 1980s, it has thrilled motorcycle enthusiasts around the globe. Whether as a brute powerhouse on the quarter-mile or as an imposing muscle bike on the street – the V-Max is synonymous with performance, character, and uniqueness. Anyone who owns a Yamaha V-Max 1200 owns not just a motorcycle, but a piece of history. That makes it all the more important that this piece of motorcycle history still runs perfectly today – with the right spare parts.

1 | The Yamaha V-Max model family at a glance

The V-Max was produced in several versions, each with its own unique features. The most well-known of these are the 2LT , 2EN, and 2WE series. Although the visual appearance has mostly changed only slightly, technical adjustments have been made to the details, which should be taken into account when purchasing spare parts.

  • Yamaha V-Max 1200 2LT: Early model, built from 1985. Often without V-Boost in the EU version.
  • Yamaha V-Max 1200 2EN: Late 80s to early 90s, with some electrical upgrades and V-Boost system.
  • Yamaha V-Max 1200 2WE: Last European generation, with improved brakes, chassis and electrics.

2 | Spare parts for the V4 engine of the V-Max

The heart of the V-Max is its 1,197 cc V4 engine – a masterpiece of power and sound. This engine demands high-quality maintenance and original or high-quality reproduction spare parts. Particularly important:

✓ Cylinder head gaskets

✓ Timing chains & tensioners

✓ Piston rings & cylinder liners

✓ Valve stem seals

✓ Clutch plates & springs

✓ Seals & Simmering Rings

A regular oil change (every 5,000 km) with a high-quality 10W-40 oil and a replacement of the oil filter will significantly extend the lifespan of the V4 engine. Likewise, the valve clearance should be checked and adjusted if necessary every 20,000 km.

3 | Carburettor, V-Boost and fuel supply

The V-Max uses four separate carburetors—in combination with the famous V-Boost system (active on many models), which opens the center intake ports at around 6,000 rpm. For maintenance and repair, you'll need:

  • Rebuild kits for the Mikuni VMX carburetors
  • Float chamber seals
  • Membranes and nozzle sets
  • Tank vents & fuel taps
  • Fuel filters & fuel pumps

Carburetor synchronization should be performed after each disassembly and ideally annually. OEM-quality carburetor repair kits restore the original power delivery.

4 | Electrics and ignition

The V-Max's electrical system is robust—but after 30+ years, corrosion is common. Typical spare parts are required:

✓ Ignition box (CDI / TCI)

✓ Alternator & Stator

✓ Rectifier/regulator unit

✓ Starter relay & starter

✓ Complete wiring harness (reproduction)

✓ LED conversion of the main lighting

Upgrading to modern MOSFET regulators can increase battery life and improve charging system reliability.

5 | Optimize braking system and chassis

A reliable chassis is crucial, especially for heavy models like the V-Max. Many riders today opt for optimized components or replacements with the original design:

  • Brake discs front (298 mm) & rear (282 mm)
  • Sintered brake pads & DOT 4 brake fluid
  • Steel braided brake lines with ABE
  • progressive fork springs + new fork oil
  • Wilbers or YSS struts for the rear axle
  • Steering head bearings & swing arm bearings in Teflon quality

6 | Cardan shaft or chain? – Drive components for the V-Max

The classic V-Max 1200 features a shaft drive—known for its low maintenance. However, components such as:

  • Cardan boot & seal kits
  • Gearbox bearings
  • Rear axle bevel gear bearings & shaft seals
  • Rim rings & spokes for repro rims

Changing the cardan shaft oil every 10,000 km is essential. Use SAE 80W90 GL-5 gear oil.

7 | Optics & Trim Parts

If you want to restore or customize your V-Max, you will find numerous original parts and replicas here:

✓ Tank cover & side cover

✓ Retro-style taillights & indicators

✓ Seat covers & gel inserts

✓ Painted fairing parts in OEM colors

Sticker sets in the original look (silver/black or burgundy) also help to restore the machine to its original condition.

8 | Tuning & Accessories for the Yamaha V-Max

Whether subtle improvements or customizing – the following accessories are particularly popular:

  • Motogadget mirrors & LED indicators
  • Performance exhaust systems (e.g. Supertrapp, Sebring)
  • Heat protection tapes for manifolds
  • Sport handlebars & risers for better handling
  • Custom footrest systems & shift sets

For individualists, CNC-milled triple clamps, aluminum rims and special paint finishes are available.

9 | Maintenance & Care of your V-Max

A well-maintained V4 is virtually indestructible. The most important maintenance intervals at a glance:

service interval parts
Oil change every 5,000 km 10W-40 + filter
Valve clearance every 20,000 km Shim kit
brake fluid yearly DOT 4
Cardan shaft oil every 10,000 km SAE 80W90
Fork oil every 15,000 km Fork oil 10W
