What size and pitch the nut that holds the flywheel on is. Best I can tell is its a M16 but the threads are finer then a "normal" fine. Been through all the hardware stores around here and so far nothing, will hit the car dealers tomorrow but I don't even know what size to ask for, mine has no threads left.

i have a spec sheet that sats it is a m 16x1 tightend to 53 lbs

Thanks, that's all thats keeping me from putting this thing together again

Well, that's not an easy one to find, no luck at WW Grainger or Fastenal, no hardware stores, only found it on one site on the net, and they only sell by 100.
All the yami dealers don't have it, I did order but no one knows if its BO'ed

Bob, for heavens sake P.M. me your Address and I'll send one out tomorrow.

Thanks Chuck, That might happen but I do have one ordered that should be here tomorrow, thats IF Yami isn't out of them. I will let you know. Had no idea when I got up today that it was going to be so hard to find.

Hey, you better go out an look for Tyler, two days ago he said he was going out for a ride on that VM4 and I haven't heard anything. He might be tryin to dig that heavy thing out of the snow somewhere

Were half way to our 14 inches, looks like its headed your way

LOL i was more worried about running out of gas!!! didnt get stuck yet but now we have about twice as much snow probably 14 inches (havent measured).... i think the next ride ill be on the 540... i cant afford the gas in that big sob hahaha

btw im glad to see that apparently someone actually reads my though of the day when i get around to changing it... (assuming thats where you saw i was going out riding the vmax4) i hated to park the 540 but i had to show all the Revs who the real boss was

hey tyler how do you like that 750 and what are your thoughts about it. iwas thinking about trying to find a 92 to restore over the summer . ive been visiting vmax 4 .com frequentley.

Update, got the nut, engine is in

glad you found your nut bob... ahaha....

the 750 runs like you cant imagine... youll be going about 60 before it even gets "on the pipe".... it engages at like 3800 and revs to 8200, but i find myself cruisin at 5-6000.... its extremely heavy to move in the garage and out of a snowbank but riding, it doesnt seem to bad..... they dont have much of a track on them for the amount of HP they put out so you have to be rally carefull not spin everything up... mine at least starts as easy as a 540... the seat is squishier than a 540, which makes it a softer ride than the 540 even tho they have the same skid... big time gas hogs tho... even babying the throttle i could only squeeze out about 8mpg.... thank god they have a 10+ gallon tank... i guess you can go about 80 miles but i havent tested this yet... suprisinly i think it trail rides alright for as big and heavy as it is.... mine has a decent amount of ski pressure so you get a bit of a workout, but suprisingly i wasnt sore after about 150miles on it over the weekend.... oh and if you rev them real fast from a idle it has a slight steetbike sound, even with stock pipes!! hahaha ask more questions if i missed anything but let start a new post...
