2005 Yamaha V Max Features & Benefits
New for 2005
20th anniversary limited edition gets special Shift Red paint with flames, blacked out rims with red pinstripes and a
serial-numbered plate.
Yellow turn signal bulbs behind clear lenses are cool.
Engine:
Liquid-cooled, 1198cc, DOHC, 16-valve, 70° V-4 engine has no
equal in its class, pumping out tremendous, hard-hitting power to make it the ultimate quick-accelerating, high-performance king.
Patented Yamaha “V-Boost” induction, a
power-boosting variable intake system, force-feeds massive quantities of fuel into the cylinders via a servo-controlled butterfly valve at 6000 rpm and above.
Specially designed
high-lift camshafts ensure ample acceleration at lower rpm, helping to further broaden the already awesome powerband.
Specially tempered crankshaft and connecting rods help harness the
powerplant’s chart-topping performance and stand up with greater durability to the unparalleled power.
Smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission puts that massive powerband to the
pavement with one purpose: maximum acceleration all the way to redline.
Hydraulically activated diaphragm-type clutch delivers precise clutch performance with lighter pull.
Four huge, 35mm Mikuni downdraft carburetors ensure seamless, lightning quick throttle response.
Low-maintenance shaft drive provides ultra-smooth performance that’s virtually lash-free.
Chassis/Suspension:
Low-slung styling helps reduce seat height to
30.1 inches for low center of gravity and better-balanced handling.
Stout, 43mm front fork features 5.5 inches of travel and air-assist adjustability that allows the rider to fine-tune
suspension characteristics to his riding style and size.
Dual rear shocks feature 4-position rebound damping and 5-click spring preload adjustability for ultimate versatility and
performance in varying road and/or riding situations.
Fat, 6-inch rear tire mounted on solid disc wheel hooks up with the asphalt for maximum traction.
Dual 298mm
front discs with 4-piston calipers and single 282mm rear disc brakes reel in Mr. Max with outstanding stopping power and light, one-finger feel.
Additional Features:
Underseat fuel tank helps lower bike’s center of gravity and provides space for large-capacity airbox located above the carburetors.
Fuel reserve switch is conveniently positioned on the handlebars.
Fork seal guards help prevent rock and debris damage to fork sliders.
Trick-looking Shift
Red w/flames finish on fuel tank combine with massive-looking faux air intake scoops to give the V-Max the perfect “street rod” look and feel.
Wide, thickly padded seat
and plush passenger saddle with grabrail adds exceptional comfort to the incomparable excitement.
Handy centerstand adds extra convenience and service accessibility.
Compact speedometer unit keeps cockpit clean and simple and offers easy readability of tripmeter/odometer and neutral, high beam, turn signal, low oil and low fuel indicator lights.
