Welcome to the site, Yamadude0!:schild27::schild27::schild27:

There are a few of us around here, even when it's 100 degrees.:3devil-sm

You might try contacting the Yamaha Sled Talk blog. I believe the author helped develop the Vmax-4. He may have information for you, or know where to find it. At any rate, I'll bet he would be interested in hearing about the sled.

Cool pictures. Are the chromed pipes for the sled? To bad it doesn't have the 3 cylinder. Do you have the hood and panels from when it w raced?

Thank you for the VINs

[TZR750]

Another bit of history, of the Yamaha inline 4 twin crank 750, cases are designed to be narrow for bike frame vs snowmo frame, but as you can see the basic layout is the Vmax 4 powerplant in the making, funny the consumer version- (had to have a racing license to buy one) called the TZ750 was rated at 140hp similar to the 92 v4 hp rating, hears a pic of bottom end with top part of case off. and some sounds from a u tube video
