I road my 06 Max the other day and did a slow rpm climb in 3rd gear all the way to red line and never felt the Vboost kick in. I did it again while watching my tach and the rpms climbed at the same rate from 4K to 8K rpms. I Am going to pull the manifold cover and check the linkage as someone...

Traumahawk you have no idea. It's so rich that in the summer months when it's typically around 70 in the early mornings the bike will start and stay running without the choke. I have to let it run for a few minutes before I can ride it but still no choke to start it is a good indication that it...

Pulled my plugs today. The bike hasn't been ridden in a week and the plugs are still wet from fuel. Looks like I am way way rich due to the plugs being wet and solid black. All 4 Front 2 Rear 2

Your not alone. I don't feel the rush either and I have read post by other people that don't feel it. I raced motocross when I was younger, 250 class, and I know what a sudden rush of power feels like and that's exactly what I expected when I got the Vmax. I dropped down to the Vmax from...

I got a recommendation via PM and already made a call to them. Hopefully they can jet the bike correctly.

I added Marks 4-2 exhaust and Sean Morley's carb kit to my 06 Vmax. I had Marietta Motor Sports install and tune the carb kit but the best they could do was 1hp and 3fp of torque over the stock HP. That's a very small gain for the $1500.00 I have invested in the exhaust, carb kit and labor for...

Sounds like I should be good to go then with the T6. Thanks everyone.

I thought about a thicker oil but I want to stay with synthetic oil. I change my oil every spring before I start riding and usually only have about 1200 miles between oil changes. My concern is mostly with oil pressure when using such a thin oil. Fully synthetic oil helps to keep the engine...

I just changed the oil in my 06 and I didn't notice till just now that the oil might be to thin. Last year I used Rotella T6 since many people recommended it as a good oil for the Vmax. This year I grabbed a 4qt. container of T6 without really looking at it and put it in my bike. I just picked...

The bike has never been recked. I check tire preasure regularly but haven't in about 3 weeks. I set the fork pressure according to the owners manual about 2 months ago. I did the bump test with the handlebars when I was getting a high pitch vibration in the handlebars when making turns as...

I have been riding sport bikes and cruisers going on 30 years now and never had something this scary happen to me till a few days ago. So I am going down the road enjoying my ride like always when I decide I need to zip my jacket up a little further but can't with one hand so I let go of the...

I just did my 2006 gauges in red led's. If I knew what it was going to look like before I did it I would have left it stock. I know their are pics on here but you have to see things like this in person to see the true results. My problem is that the red light cast on the black speedo numbers...

Happy to report that the Vmax handles like a new bike. Both the high pitch vibration and the shaking are gone. I also synchronized the carbs while I was working on it. They were slightly off but not out of spec. Being the anal type of person that I am I wanted to get the carbs as close as...

Steering head bearings were loose. The handlebars bounced in both directions. I tightened the bearings per Sean's you tube video. Goint to ride out to a pool party in a few minutes and will see if that corrected the problem, I suspect and hope it did.

I am going to check the steering head bearing in a few minutes. I should have checked it last night while I was installing the red LED light bulbs in the gauges but I forgot. Rollie, The milage is low because up untill December of last year I was paying a greedy ex wife child support along...
