Upgrading an RS Warrior front brake system

admin | 18 March, 2008 23:13

Fxstein's Warrior R1 radial Master CylinderFor years I have not been too happy with my front brakes on the custom Yamaha Roadstar Warrior Turbo 21 of mine. Especially after chroming the master cylinder and reservoir of the front brake system, braking power was very washy and would fade quickly.

Very hard stops where virtually impossible. Even the Galfer front rotors could not get the brake to bite.

I was pretty sure for a while that the root cause was the chroming of the piston housing that messed up the master piston slightly. Bet even on a stock Warrior the front brake could use a little more bite.

Customizing the Next Generation 2008 Yamaha Star VMax

admin | 06 May, 2007 23:59

2008 Yamaha Star VMax Ever since the original VMax hit the roads in the 1980s, it has been a bike that captured the imagination of many bike owners and custom bike builders. When the VMax was released it was the fastest production motorcycle in the world and it would take many years before another bike would even come close to its power numbers. It was not designed as a canyon carver or a track bike, its single purpose was to go as fast as possible down a straight line. And boy did it do it well! Many Power Cruisers and street fighters still fall way short of reaching the acceleration of the old - all mighty - VMax.

After some 20 years Yamaha is about to release the next generation VMax. Awaited for 2008, the bike will set new standards for most powerful.
