[Set of 4] Intake manifold gasket for YAMAHA V-MAX 1200 VMX12V 85-07 - Genuine spare part

【Compatibility and Kit Information】This product is a set of four genuine intake manifolds, specifically designed for the YAMAHA V-MAX 1200 (VMX12V) Muscle Cruiser and compatible with carburetor versions from model years 1985 to 2007. Please check the exact specifications based on your vehicle's year of manufacture.

【Key Features and Kit Value】This product includes the necessary gaskets to connect the four carburetors to the corresponding cylinder heads of the legendary V-MAX V4 engine. Replacing all four intake manifolds simultaneously ensures a consistent and perfectly sealed intake for all cylinders – a crucial requirement for a stable idle, smooth and powerful power delivery, and optimal cylinder running of this high-performance V4 engine. Even a single worn and leaking intake manifold can lead to significant power loss and rough engine running. [Solution to Common Problems] Over time and under the influence of high temperatures, the original rubber intake manifolds can harden, crack, or deform. Replacing all four manifolds eliminates the following problems caused by intake leaks: starting difficulties, rough idling, or frequent stalling; sluggish acceleration, delayed power delivery, and loss of the explosive power delivery typical of the V-MAX; uneven cylinder running with abnormal vibrations and an irregular exhaust note; significantly increased fuel consumption and the risk of engine damage due to a lean fuel-air mixture. [Materials and Quality] Made from the same high-performance, oil- and heat-resistant rubber as the original manifolds, they feature excellent elasticity, aging resistance, and exceptional tear strength. Optimized for the high temperatures and torque of a V4 engine, they ensure an optimal and lasting seal. [Installation and Verification Notes] Careful Verification: Due to the long production run of the V-MAX 1200, please check your vehicle's model year before purchasing. It is strongly recommended to compare the received product with your vehicle's original parts for shape, length, and connection angles. Professional Installation: It is strongly recommended that this work be performed by a qualified technician. Installation requires the removal of several components, and the working area is limited. All contact surfaces between the carburetor outlet and engine intake must be thoroughly cleaned. Use high-quality hose clamps for even, transverse tightening to the specified torque to ensure consistent contact pressure across all surfaces. Scope of Delivery: This product includes four independent intake manifolds sufficient for a complete V4 engine replacement. The hose clamps required for installation will typically need to be sourced separately or reused from the original vehicle.
