    Stealth mode mod?

    How easy would it be to have a switch that kills ALL LIGHTS including brake lights but leaves the speedo and gauges lit? Asking for a friend who has ran from the cops a few times on his 07 VMax

    Stuck Idle mix screw

    How difficult is it to fix this if the screw head has been damaged? I was having some issues with my carbs popping and a real slight idle backfire. Went to do a peashooter and screwed up the mix screws on the right 2 carbs when going to back them out 2 turns. I stopped jacking with the screws...

    Couple quick questions

    What are the cylinder numbers? Front left _ Rear left _ Front right _ Rear right _ When I give it gas and totally let off, like a rev at idle to 4k, it slowly goes back to 1k like I'm backing off the throttle instead of completely letting off. Does this mean I am running rich? The reason I'm...

    Exhaust diarrhea

    While warming up my bike this morning, I noticed this. Both sides are spitting out this blackness. Left side more than the right as seen in the pic. What the heck? Had my choke on about 1/2. Didnt notice it after bike was warm and choke off.

    Bike not totalled!

The only problem is my financial company is on the check too and will NOT sign it over until the repairs are completed. I planned on doing the repairs myself, but now I cant because I just dont...

    Attempted murder?

    On my way home from work yesterday, someone tried to kill me. Switched lanes and got behind a white Chevy. As we exited the freeway, he brake checked me hard. I almost ran into the back of him. I swerved to the left to avoid running into the back, as I got next to his car he jerked his wheel and...

    I shouldn't complain, but...

    Leaving for work at 5AM is so damn cold! I really need to get some good gloves. I have some Fox MX gloves and they're just not cutting it. Thankfully my new job is only a half hour ride away which is MUCH closer than my previous hour ride. That was when it was still warm tho! I know a lot of you...

    LED accent lights issue

    I bought one of these CIPA 93271 Red 4" and installed it over my #2 and #4 cylinders. Hooked it up to one of my running light wires off my tail light. 3 little LEDs have drained my battery to the point it will not start. I have disconnected it and charged my battery. Runs and starts fine now...

    Progressive front springs, spacers, 1" lowering kit

    Got these from a random guy I met at a gas station, he used to have a VMax and had these sitting in his garage. He had just the springs, but when I did mine it came with extra lowering springs and spacers. Spacers are uncut and lowering springs included have never been used. Progressive springs...

    Bike wobbles in agressive turns

    Seems to happen more when taking right turns and at first I chalked it up to me just being a new rider. After a recent trip through the Salt River Canyon here in AZ, I decided that it must be something related to my suspension. To describe the wobble is difficult, it isn't constant and has...

    Clutch Mod questions

    1: how many springs do I need to do the double mod? 2: can I add 3 or 4 washers to compress the spring, making it tighter? 3: I have acquired 5 clutch springs off of a 500r Ninja, can I use them?

    Finally wheelied!

    Powered it up finally! :eusa_dance: I had been trying to do it WOT then cutting the throttle, then snapping it back open at about 6k. I got it by doing it at around 4.5k, it pops up a little and when it goes back down I snap it again and it goes up really well. About time! LoL

    Progressive vs Stock

    I needed to have my fork seals done, the shop I usually take my bike to charges $160 to do em. I decided to do them myself after reading on here that it wasn't too difficult. Thanks to Morley's YouTube vids on the subject, I was able to do the job. I also decided to use the $$ I was saving and...

    Pretty awesome 18" wheel

    The site is not translated much, but just barely enough to navigate around. They have some badass stuff besides this wheel. This one has no offset. They have offset wheels at 2mm and 7mm (オフセット translates to offset[thanks google!]) 126000 yen is about $1600. http://www.over.jp/item/82-34-03F/

    Fixing a leaking fork seal

    Came across this video, due to my inexperience I was curious what you guys thought. Could this be an option? or do the seals just need to be replaced when they start to leak? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wlzfoVroSY
