Holy friggin cow!!!! I actually agree with the OP on something!! If Bush were in office, and he asked Congress for what Obama is asking, he'd be dragged naked through the streets of D.C. on broken glass. I'm not a Bush fan, but the clown we have in office now, is dangerous. So is the situation...

To answer the OP, I stood and stared at my Vmax today. Because I couldn't ride it.

I know. I can see it now. Mrs. Kravitz looking out her kitchen window, hollering back into her living room, "Abner!! What's Dave from down the street doing out there in the middle of the road with a broom?!!" lol!!

I went down on a V65 Magna back in '86. I was going about 45 into a curve at night following a buddy of mine who was riding a GSXR 1100. He made it. I didn't. Some dump truck had spilled a bunch of gravel on the road earlier that day. I tried to countersteer the bike to get it to go the other...

Yeah. Great story. Thanks for sharing that one.

Actually, I've entertained the idea of hiring a private asphalt company to come in and drop a three foot wide section of asphalt from the entrance to our neighborhood down to my driveway. That would really sit well with my HOA and neighbors. Seriously though, they have done this before. They...

Aaaaarrrrggghhhh!! If the dang rain wasn't bad enough, now I have gravel. It's been less than a month since I took delivery of my 2014 Max. Right after I picked it up from the dealer, it started raining for two straight weeks. As soon as the rain stops, the D.O.T. comes into my neighborhood and...

It really doesn't bother me. This is the internet after all. But I'm glad you posted that link. Not that I'm leaving here. Another member convinced me to stay. But I have tried to register over at the starvmax forum and can't get them to send me an activation code. I'm assuming you're a member...

I'll say something else before I sign off for good: The maturity level that I have witnessed in this thread is really, I mean really, lacking. Take care.......... Dave

You show me anywhere in this thread where I called anyone on here a liar. I can take "crap" any day and everyday. But if you're going to spout off something that you say I said, then back it up. I didn't call anyone on here anything. Go ahead, point it out to me. I want to see where I called...

Well Holy freakin cow guys! I thought this was a Vmax forum. I guess not. My opinions in this thread were based on my own experience with bikes over the last 31 years. I apologize for insulting you. Maybe I just need to find another Vmax forum to join.

That's it in a nutshell. If it's your bike and you enjoy it, and it makes you happy, that's all that really matters. I had a '93 Max BTW. I loved that bike. I sold it in '95 right after my first child was born. I sold it to an older guy. I was 32 at the time. I think he was probably in his late...

I'm a noob on here but thought I'd throw in two pennies on the subject. I'm 50 years old and am at a place in life financially where I can afford to buy more than one new bike. I recently purchased a 2014 Gen 2. I could have purchased a Gen 2 busa, a ZX-14, a BMW S1000RR, etc......... I chose my...

Good to know. Thanks.

Yeah. I realize that. Let me get a little more familiar with my new Gen 2 bike, and then I will be able to respond intelligently. My wheel kit hasn't even arrived yet. However, I thought I remembered you saying that you ran your bike with the shaft exposed and had no issues. I'll deal with it as...

Sounds like that is the easiest way. My plan is to go ahead and run the bike with the big wheel/tire and leave the cover off. I don't plan on riding in the rain anyway. What little dirt and gravel that may make it's way into the swingarm, I'll just suck out with the micro nozzle attachment I...

That's good to hear. I asked my question because I have some CNC equipment at my disposal and thought that if the cover could be re-engineered to allow some clearance, then I would go that route. I haven't looked closely at my bike's port side swing arm at all in any kind of detail. But if the...

I'll certainly post them up. lol! I guess my thread on this I started in the Vboost section got moved after all. Ha Ha.. I kind of figured it would. It took me a little while to find it.

Okay guys and gals, I know this has been discussed on here somewhere. Mods feel free to move this thread where it belongs if this area is not kosher for this discussion. I have a 2014 sitting in my warehouse with good weather arriving this weekend. I normally do my own maintenance work myself...
