    Seat Comfort Improvements?

    Prolly just me getting older, but I after a few hours in a Gen 2 seat I'm getting a bit saddle sore. What are folks doing to get some improved comfort on these things? Thanks!

    Avon or Shinko?

    Late, but I'll chime in. I ran the Avon Cobra on the rear and liked it a lot. I just wore it out. It's a 3% increase in circumference vs stock, and that brought the speedometer up from stupidly inaccurate to just sadly wrong. It also gave me a bit taller gearing. Not much, and I could feel...

    Speedometer calibration

    Just some notes for the next guy: I went with the 12clock labs version. It's the universal model number U1 and is $79.99 as of this writing. It's DIY wired into the harness just before the ECU. 1) Here is a video that shows what wire to cut. Cut with reasonable space to solder on each...

    Rotella T6 Made My clutch go out!!!!

    Huh. I don't drag race the thing, not overly abusive, but look - there are no shrinking violet Vmax owners. Guru tuned and etc, it's run 15W-40 T6 in it for years. It's MA and MA2, and I have no problems at all. Except Sean just voted against it. I don't know the man, but I know he knows...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome. Don't know what year you bought, but I just made several suggestions for a new member for the gen 2.

    FNG- Reporting for abuse, I mean duty.

    Welcome! Let me say these things: #1 Put new tires on it. Read the forum for suggestions. #2 Put the ExactRep peg lowering kit on it. Wow. #3 Put some mirror extensions on it. Cheap, big help, not wider (as bar ends would be), and you can still hang grocery and etc bags from the...

    Tuneboy

    Ya, I emailed Wayne linking to this thread and offering to be a bridge for him to the several failed installs here if he would be interested and cared to provide me a wiring diagram, instructions, and a parts list. A relatively defensive response. Not exactly unprofessional, but clearly not...

    Tuneboy

    Wow, so many of us watching this thread that would buy. I don't quite why anybody with the design and programming would walk away from so much opportunity. Turbo, was it just missing parts?

    Exactrep peg lowering kit

    So, yea... I purchased these and Jim's highway pegs at the same time. The highway pegs are flawless. Done. The Exactreps? Well..... First, they are what exactly what they claim: Bolt on w/1 inch drop. However, with some /mods/tweaking you can reverse orient them and get 3/4 down and...

    Newbie - 2012 Vmax

    Most guys run the k&n filter for the nut on the end and use T-6 15w40,oil.

    Newbie - 2012 Vmax

    I see it has new mirrors too! i hated the stock sound, replaced the mufflers and cat with delkovic. Did the air box mod, and then ordered a Nash flash. Much better bike. I also went to the taller rear tire (Avon as I recall) to get the Speedo closer. enjoy!

    Exactrep peg lowering kit

    seems like 1/3 the price of the Corbin with little to no discernable difference. Any insight anybody can share either way? thanks!
