    Big plans and problems at a bad time

    I have about a 5 hour trip coming up for an army reunion that we haven't seen each other in 34 years! Because of the fun and gas prices I've planned on the Vmax since planning first started. It's been running great, until yesterday when I experianced back firing through the air filter.I did the...

    I have a aneurysm

    Hard to stay positive but I think it helps. Also not stressing over things out of your control. Probably we should all do that. Will be thinking of your health, take care.

    1st Gen & 2nd Gen Last of the First Gen, First of the Last Gen.

    My 2001 carbon. Had about 10 years. Looked pretty rough when I bought it, wife didn't think I would bring it home. Scoops were pitted from bird crap in a small shed and I just had them powder coated, same with the wheels. Has right at 14k miles. Cops is about all the big mods. The only bike I...

    electrical connectors

    I have a switch for my headlight high beam only. The blue indicator reminds me to switch the light on 'if' I were to forget. I have one on my dual sport too and it has become such a habit to turn on the light as I hit the road I don't really have to think about not having it on. Mine is mostly...

    Mice problems with vehicles

    Yea me too. These were mostly in the engine compartment. We got them with traps and sticky pads. Some chewing but no damage (yet). There are sprays that help they say and I am going to get that. But I think most newer vehicles can have this problem. Keep Rats, Mice, and Squirrels Out Of Your...

    Mice problems with vehicles

    Wife has a 2014 Jeep that we have seen signs of mice and keep traps around it and under the hood. We'll catch a few then months go by no problem then it starts again. My Ford pickup, 2006 sits next to it and never has a problem. We even switched parking places and they still go to hers. We eat...

    COPs Ignition: Why all the fuss?

    I also had the rough idle when hot, and dying at red lights. Front coils so hard to get to, and the rear sitting on top of the battery taking up space. Glad to free up some space and eliminate my rough, high temp idle.

    Nitrogen filled tires

    OK, I googled "air composition by volume " and it said 78.09% , I was off a little.

    Nitrogen filled tires

    Even a flat tire has air in it. So with 78% nitrogen in the air and air left in the tire when all the pressure is off you might get 90% nitrogen in a totally flat tire. Only way to get pure nitrogen would be to put the tire in a chamber of nitrogen before filling and evacuate all the air. It's...

    Old Vmax mag articles

    I have a 1985 Rider magazine with the Vmax on the front cover. Sure no 'WWW' with any of the ads.

    Long Distance Rides - What to watch out for??

    Surprised the tool bag on the forks didn't cause heat problem. Looks like a good trip, and enough summer left to do another! We'd be fine with more pictures too.

    The OIL thread. All oil related questions here.

    That Citgo story reminds me of a friend one time his wife wanted him to pick up some Fruit Loops at Walmart. He came home with a bag of Fruit Circles, Walmart brand. She said "I told you to get Fruit Loops!" He said, "Do you think Walmart has a Fruit Loop factory? They don't, these are the same...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Today I moved my Vmax away from my pallets of toilet paper. If anyone tries to steal my Vmax at least they won't find my TP stash.

    MCN; the only magazine I read is now gone.

    Some of the articles on carburetors, air box design I liked. I had asked some questions via email and got a somewhat smart *** response and in two times were totally wrong. I did like them though.
