    Rear tire change question

    I was going to have my guy mount my new rear tire on my 86 Vmax but he hasn't been able to fit me in. My question is, will the rear tire come off the bike just sitting on the center stand or do I need to get the bike up higher. Also what else needs to come off to get that wheel out of there?

    Lithium Ion battery

    The guy that works on my bike told me about these batteries and their high cranking amps to overcome the hard hot starting of the Vmax. Has anyone tried them and are they worth the money?

    Vmax thermostat

    I have a 1986 Vmax and I'm looking for an aftermarket source for a stock thermostat. Anyone have an idea where I might find one? Surprisingly enough the only thing I found on Ebay was in either Great Britan or China.

    Grips

    I was wondering what grips people out there are using. I currently have foam grips which are super comfortable but are coming apart. I'm not looking for a custom look just a durable comfortable grip. Any suggestions?

    Seat alternatives

    Are we pretty much limited to the one piece Corbin seat if we want to upgrade the stock seat? I have a 1986 that is less than comfortable. Can the foam be replaced with a more modern material?

    Vboost issue

It seems some say the connector behind the left scoop sometimes get corroded and causes this. I took the scoop off and the connector was clean. I...

    Popping though carbs

    I'm new to these bikes and I'm not sure what is normal. I have a 1986 Vmax and I have noticed that when idling if I crack the throttle and also on acceleration that I can hear a fairly faint popping what seems to be coming from under the air box. I'm wondering if it's an intake valve issue. If...

    Backfire

    Good morning... this has now happened twice so I thought Id ask. I turn on the key and without touching the starter I will immediately get a single fire from one of the cylinders. It doesn't backfire though the intake its just a quick single poof through the exhaust. Anything to worry about?

    Front fork air

    I'm new to this Vmax world and appreciate any advice I can get. I went to check the air pressure level in my front forks. The max I just picked up is a 1986. I find one air valve only and it is on the side of the left (drivers side) fork tube. There is not another matching valve on the other...
