Yamaha V-max Solid Delrin Motor Mount Set - $75 shipped

This Cheetah Delrin motor mount set includes (6) Delrin mounts for the V-Max engine.

The stock rubber mounts, shown below versus a Cheetah mount, allow too much movement and will eventually wear out. These mounts will help quicken up shifts. The bike will also be more responsive, as the motor does not lose as much torque into the mounts.

These Delrin replacement bushings are each made of a single piece of Delrin, with a 6061 Aluminum tube to act as a wear bushing for the bolt.

While these mounts are much more rigid than the stock mounts, they weigh almost half of the stock mounts. A swap of these mounts will drop 5/8 of a pound from the bike.

Installation takes about 45 minutes and can be done with a basic socket set and hammer.


   Cheetah Delrin (Acetal) motor and transmission mounts are each machined from a solid block, and have either Stainless Steel or Aluminum bushings fit into the mounts to act as a point of contact for the connecting bolts. Delrin is an extremely strong and stiff plastic. It is commonly used in place of metal in applications where metal can not be used (magnetic, corrosion, or conducting / insulating reasons). These are much stiffer than polyurethane mounts, and it will not give or wear out. These mounts should never need to be replaced, unlike the stock units which are usually considered a wear item. These will give the same effect as solid metal mounts, without the intense vibration which metal transmits.

These mounts stop the jumping or twisting of the motor under the hood. This movement is caused by the rotating mass of the crankshaft and transmission components. With stock mounts, the engine will twist itself in the engine bay when the throttle is opened, or during high-speed shifts. Over time, this force will destroy the stock rubber mounts. When this happens, the rubber may split or rip, allowing the engine to potentially move inches back and forth. This can destroy CV joints, other mounts, and create even worse wheel-hop.

With these mounts, shifts will be much crisper. There should not be any noticeable added vibration on a car with any suspension modifications, and many times the mounts will smooth the vehicle vibrations by stopping excess movement caused from soft factory mounts. While pressing the gas pedal, a vehicle is much more responsive; as the motor does not lose as much torque twisting into the mounts.

At a price usually less than that of inferior stock mounts, these are not only a great performance item, but a bargain for each application.
