Hey Mr. Old Mechanic hope you are well. Today I was going on a motorcycle ride today and as I was backing it out the driveway the rear brakes were completely locked up. Now last month I rebuilt the rear master cylinder so I thought it was something I did. I went to bleed the brake system again but the rear brake pedal would not move. I took the cylinder apart and the rubber at the end of the spring was jammed. I took it back the dealer where I got the rebuild kit and it turns out they gave me the wrong kit. It fit but the rubber they gave me with the spring was just a little bigger then what I needed. Took me all day to do this. I shared this with you because your videos did NOT make me give up. Thank you so much. Also you were right. Dealers !
I have an 85 V MAX.Red n Black.Has 12K original miles.Was number 2,131 off the production line in June 1985.Looks and runs like brand new.I have a few RUclips shorts showing her off.
Hallo old mechanic.Ik kijk graag naar uw duidelijke instructie filmpjes voor regulier motoronderhoud.Heb zelf ook een v-max dat ik zelf onderhoud zou willen geven en deze filmpjes helpen mij daar uitstekend bij. Vraagje cq verzoekje..heeft u ook een filmpje voor het verwisselen van de voorvork olie (en kering)..dat zou mij enorm helpen..Alvast bedankt voor de videos. Met vriendelijke groeten, Raymond
Great simple video. I just bought a 2006 Vmax and it is beautiful. I am starting to do maintenance on it, and I notice you are using a slightly different oil from what the owner's manual recommends. I am no expert on oils. Can you expand on why using 75W-90 Multigrade Fully synthetic GL4 is equal to or better than Owners Manual Recommended: "Hypoid Gear oil SAE 80 (API GL4) or multi-grade hypoid oil SAE 80W-90". I have spent all morning trying to learn about it and making sure I select the proper oil. Note: O.M. also says GL5 and GL6 Hypoid gear oils rated GL5 and GL6 may also be used. Thank you, JR
Hallo Mr. Old Mechanic, I really like your vids. Just bought my first Vmax 1200, very happy with it. One Question, did you also put some grease on the bolts before putting them back ? I didn't see you do it. Groetjes Edward.

Well...at least he didn't call it a differencial.
I guess I should have matched up all the parts before I installed them.
Oil 75W-90 fully synthetic, right?, or 75W140 is better?. Thanks alot.
How many milliliters did you put in the rear transmission ?
Dude it’s not a rear transmission it’s a differential
