I've had my 90 V Max since 2000. So I've had it 20yrs now. I'm now 47. I bought it when I was in my late 20's and have drag raced it since I've had it. Needless to say, a lot of the sport bikes get their feelings hurt on the track and street.
Nice run. Mine ran a lot of 7.0's on pump gas. It was killer for bracket racing.
Fastest pass ever with U4 racing fuel was 6.89 in the 1/8. In the 1/4 I was able to get a 10.86 once. But those were on some perfect runs.
The best ever I've turned on my V Max which is similar to yours with stock engine, header and jetted was a 10.86 @ 125. I have no idea where that mph came from. I was running some good fuel and launching it as hard as I could. It would float the front tire off the ground for about 60ft.

How do you like the 1500cc engine? If I ever have to pull my engine (hope I never have to) that may be my next step.
Have you ever raced it at the track? What kind of HP and times does she turn? I want one!!!!
I've made a few dyno pulls with and without the mid pipe and with the can/w baffle, but I've never made a pass down the track with the mid-pipe or can/ no baffle on the bike. I'll have to give it a try next time I race. Im very curious now...On the dyno, the bike actualy made more power straight...
Here's a little bit of footage of my Max at the track. This one is an on bike camera. Making a 1/4mi pass... Enjoy..

Nothing else on the bike has been removed or lighter parts put on.
The scale was at an NRHA track, but maybe it wasnt calibrated before I got on it. Kind of odd being off since there was a Super Stock Combo race going on too. I'm going to try it again next time I'm there.
What's most Max's...
I weighed my bike on the scales at the dragstrip Saturday night. It weighed in at 540lbs with 1/2gal of fuel. Bike with me on it weighs 720lbs.
Bike is in close to stock trim except for the following weight reduction:
4-2-1 Kerker running straight header
Center stand removed
mirrors removed...
That bike is beautiful!!!! The wheels look awesome. How much do they run?
What are the air horns on the side of the carbs? I've never seen that before? For looks or have a function?
The wide band might work to give an idea for a rich or lean condition at cruising speeds to get optimal fuel miliage, but will not give you an idea what your actual A/F will be to acheive optimal power.
I agree, I would not get the wide band. I also run the LM-1 Innovate system, but have it on...
I know some of you asked about putting an Air/fuel monitor and gauge on the bike. It shouldnt be too hard. The hardest part will be welding the O2 sensor bung into the exhaust pipe.
I believe it will work better on a 4-2-1 header because you will get a reading from all 4 cylinders. On a dual...
Will the 5in Monster tach that only adjust to the 4cylinder mode work the same way, by cutting the brown wire?
I know the ProCycle tachs from Autometer are suppose to adjust down to a 1 and 2 pulse signal. I'm hoping to just buy the car tach with shift light for a little over $100 vs. the...
I'll have to dig up the time slip, but here is the best ever I have ran on my bike. I dont know how I pulled it off, but I have never been able to do it again to back it up.
60ft 1.59 ( I believe, but dont quote me )
1/8th 6.79 @ 101
1/4 10.86 @ 125
I was running U4 fuel
