hi 05 silver Posted January 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 15, 2013 Who has done this swap and what do you think about it? I have and all I can say is "just do it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted January 15, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 15, 2013 Mike, I know several members here that have done the swap on the G2, Freebird being one of them and Leadwolf56 being another. I have talked with both of them on it and they love it, great for pulling a trailer, or just a little more seat in the pants, like 05 silver mentioned "Just do it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadwolf56 Posted January 15, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2013 Yep, it's well worth the money. That and a Dyna 3000 to up the rpm limiter really makes a BIG difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAWoodworth Posted January 15, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 15, 2013 I have the VMAX rear and just bought the Dyna 3000. I was thinking of setting the rev limiter to 7500 RPM. The next choice lower is 7250. Is the 7500 too high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playboy Posted January 15, 2013 Share #6 Posted January 15, 2013 Hey Mark I'm planning on doing the same thing Looks like a Win Win for the 2nd gen bikes. By the way I grew up in Hurst have you lived there very long. Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWa Posted January 15, 2013 Share #8 Posted January 15, 2013 Who has done this swap and what do you think about it? I have done it and it is the best performance mod you can make. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE50 Posted January 15, 2013 Share #9 Posted January 15, 2013 What do you do with the speedometer sensor? VMAX no go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 15, 2013 Share #10 Posted January 15, 2013 I bought mine from SportMax. He removes the gears and puts them in the RSV housing so you sill have the hole for the sensor. Some people have had a hole machined though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted January 16, 2013 Share #11 Posted January 16, 2013 I have the VMAX rear and just bought the Dyna 3000. I was thinking of setting the rev limiter to 7500 RPM. The next choice lower is 7250. Is the 7500 too high? Mind you what I'm about to say is only based on 1st gens, but the engines are almost identical. I have run my 1st gens over 8K on the rpms and the valves were not floating, it still pulled well. The 7500K is probably not going to hurt your motor. The reason it has a rev limiter is due to Yamaha offering the 5 year unlimited mile warranty. I know a vast majority of the G2 guys have the limiter set at 7250K and are pretty happy with it. Try it out and see what you feel is right for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadwolf56 Posted January 16, 2013 Share #13 Posted January 16, 2013 I have the VMAX rear and just bought the Dyna 3000. I was thinking of setting the rev limiter to 7500 RPM. The next choice lower is 7250. Is the 7500 too high? I run mine at 7250, Gator06 has his at 7500 but he has a different cam installed. The 2nd gens do have a "weaker" valve spring that may allow it to float the valves between 7500 and 8000 rpm. 7250 gives me a lot more rev room.

wes0778 Posted January 16, 2013 Share #14 Posted January 16, 2013 I bought mine from SportMax. He removes the gears and puts them in the RSV housing so you sill have the hole for the sensor. Some people have had a hole machined though. Just DO IT!!! John @ SportMax is top notch in my book!!! You will LOVE what is does for 1st gear! So I'm told you can really lift the front wheel..... Add Skydoc's clutch upgrade and it is even better getting a heavy trailer moving. :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 16, 2013 Share #15 Posted January 16, 2013 Dyna recommends that you not exceed 7,000 or 7,250 unless you install heavier valve springs. I have mine set at 7,250 and am happy with it. For those looking, here is the link to John's website. He does a great job on these conversions. http://rmsportmax.com/gateway.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
