    The OFFICIAL "What I think of the K9 VMax" thread

    Re: Here 'tis, boys--NEW MAX!!!!!!!! Maybe it just me but DAMN ! ! ! That's one ugly bike. I mean while the old Max wasn't a beauty queen, it looked fierce . . . this one looks all kinds of awkward. Please no flaming as it's only personal taste but I'd rather buy an old Max, pour money...

    Different Thermostat?

    Did this swap a month or two ago and WOW what a difference. Before the temp would get pretty close to the top end of the scale before the fan would start. Now, it hits the middle of the gauge and stays there even when stuck in traffic and it's 32 degrees C outside I'm a happy Camper :D :D :D...

    SNQ (Stupid Newbie Questions) re: gas fill-ups & extra tanks

    Thx Mark, I was getting 125 km before the light came on and now I just head to a gas station. Maybe I'll try running it till the comes on solid. To be honest, I'm not the lightest throttle hand in/around the city (it's a max after all). When you did the 170 miles on a single tank, were...

    SNQ (Stupid Newbie Questions) re: gas fill-ups & extra tanks

    Hello all Was just thinking about this and hope you guys can help. When filling-up at the gas station, is your max on it's side stand or center stand? Does it matter? On some bikes you can only top it off completely if it's completely up right. Does it matter on the Max? And second...

    cant take it ANYMORE!!!

    Thanks Gleno, It was those damn @#!$% guides ! ! ! Instead of bending, I put heavy duty duct tape into the grooves. Additionally, I put a strip around both rubber grommets. I did this after swapping out the temperature switch. So while riding around and keeping a close eye on the temp...

    I'm pretty sure this has been posted before, check it out http://www.jerrynovak.com/vmax/ Additional I got some billet end caps from a fellow in Canada. They look awesome and the exhaust is now a little meaner ;)

    cant take it ANYMORE!!!

    Got the same thing with mine (2004 Max), I'm gonna shim-up the contact points on the cover to bike, make them a lot tighter and see where that gets me. Agreed though it's very, very annoying.

    Forged Crank

    Dealt with John @ PCW, he's a pretty straight up guy and treated me like gold even for a small order :) Not to sure about forged but you should be able to get a billet unit made. It's gonna cost you . . . as the saying goes: Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go ;)
