    Dummy indicator 'blank'

    Kuryakyn LED Battery Gauge I have 2 of these, they work good. One is mounted on a tractor, the other on the triple clamp of my DRZ400. I would not recomend it. On the tractor it is no big deal, but on the motorcycle at night each light is bright, combined they are blinding. Each one is probably...

    Dummy indicator 'blank'

    The blank drives me nuts, but a lot of flashing might be worse! I'll have to research more before the $60.

    Dummy indicator 'blank'

    For some reason the blank indicator lamp bugs me and I have tried to think of a real use for this thing. I have mentioned this before but now I have seen something new (to me) It is a voltage display LED. One LED that changes color and flash rates according to charging or battery health. Web...

    hinged passenger seat

    I have looked on here for several hours last night about a 'hinged passenger seat' mod that also gave a little bit of underseat storage. It was a website link and I believe someone on here makes the part. Something I would like to look into if someone could help.

    Dirt Bikes/ Week long D/S Bikes

    I have a 2000 Drz400S bought new. It now has 19k miles on it. I use D.O.T. knobbies, a 4 gal. Clarke tank, 3 tooth larger rear sproket. It has bark busters, bash plate and luggage rack. The seat is like a plank. The tires (Kenda trak masters) do better than one would expect, life is about 750...

    color by year

    I had always thought each year Vmax came in only 1 color, lately I'm begining to think I may be wrong. How can I find out what colors were what years? And also the carbon fiber; what is it? A stickon with clear coat? how do you fix imperfections? Both my fenders and airbox cover have small 'can...

    Air Leaks and Carbs

    yesterday my 2001 vmax would not idle 'sometimes'. I later found the front left header pipe was cool. changed plug, spark seemed weak but maybe ok. removed carb cover and air box. Sprayed carb cleaner and it seemed some crap came out. It seemed to run and idle better, about 1k rpms. I looked but...

    only put maybe 500mi on my vmax and think I want a CBR1000

    I had a '97 Vmax and I just had to have a 2001 Speed Triple. Gas prices went up and the Triumph was not good at 2 up riding, it had no center stand, and the 'sit up straight' riding position did not exist, even with handlebar stand offs. I kept putting pressure on my wrists and arms. Now I have...

    Concealed Carry Weapons, Firearm

    In Tennessee we don't have concealed carry; just carry. But I stay concealed, and for reliabilty and super small size I carry a Pug 22mag. So small I can carry in shorts and know one can tell. It's simple and will work everytime. Best to avoid problem but for short range as I am 'reaching for my...

    Thinking of buying a Dual sport

    I had an '82 XL500, started giving problems. Got a '95 XR650L and in 3yrs had 2 engine control modules go bad then the countershaft stripped out inside the countershaft sprocket! Then I got a 2000 DRZ400S (bought new and still have) 4gal. tank skid plate, bark busters, luggage rack,3 tooth...

    Some of the best money I've spent on my Max yet..

    I have an HAC (?) back rest and luggage rack and I have to say the rack pretty much sucks. It's way too small, bunggy hooks slide around ( I put s ome aerostich bunggy hooks) but still barley useable. I looked around for one for a while and not really satified. Plus the price was a little steep.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    :confused2:I noticed that for some reason Yamaha decided to put the clutch and front brake master cylinder sight glass facing forward, away from the rider. There may be exeptions but every bike I have noticed the sight glass is facing the rider; huh!

    'blank' indicator lamp useage

    Has anyone ever thought of using the 'blank' indicator lamp area on the dash? I have thought of (1) low battery or alternator output, I could go into detail on this. or (2) a lamp the increases in intensity as the V boost come in with max brightness at full V boost. (3) when cooling fan kicks on...
