    I want to install the speedo healer because my speedo is off by 9-10%. Can anyone show me a picture of exactly where it is?

    dead Vmax 07

    ok this is the second time she left me stranded and was hoping for some help. I turn the key, power on and no power. battery fully charged and the battery is only a year old. Last time I pulled the battery put it on the charger only to find it fully charged, put it back in and she fired right up.

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    It happened so fast, but I was in 4th at about 50MPH hit the gas to pass at about 70 and didn't hit 5th until after I passed and slowed back down to about 60. Can't believe this. I bet I've only broke 100mph 2-3 times on this bike, I really baby it.

I pulled into a gas station and noticed the bike could barely...

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Recall wasn't for all 07's it was for certain Vin numbers. I'm guessing that the motors were assembled incorrectly for only a period of time.

    Lemon??? Vmax? HELP!!!!!!

    Ok, I probably was taking this a bit too far calling it a lemon. I got her back today in great shape for having the engine out to change the head gaskets. Bike runs great. Well it even seems a bit snappier than before, maybe because I was losing compression with the leak. I'm still pissed that I...
