Craft, the Japanese design firm that designed the gen 2 Vmax and helped with the gen 1 Vmax apparently released a super limited run of upgrade kits for the gen 1 that was officially endorsed by Yamaha? At least that is the claim at the bottom of this article...

Kyle, Wouldn't you know - got into the area and didn't have cell service until I left so I couldn't check the forum. I go every year - maybe next time we can link up. The Vmax is fun to ride anywhere of course although the FZ6 lends itself to some easier cornering at speed...

I'll be in and around Route 129 this weekend - I'll have my Vmax and a few other bikes. Last ride on the Vmax before it's torn down and reborn over this winter. Holler at me if anyone will be around that area and we can link up for a ride.

How did I know Sean would have done this before... Now that I've seen it - I love it. It looks like the wheelbase got extended by the swingarm a bit. Did you ride the bike? How did it handle? I don't really use my Vmax for very spirited cornering so I'm not concerned with it being much better...

I have been meaning to upgrade the front end of my Vmax for several years but have been bogged down with other projects. I had originally planned to go with an R1 or a Hayabusa USD conversion but I really like the look of the massive 52mm standard gen 2 forks. Has anyone done this before? It...

This bike looks familiar to me for some reason... https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/d/boyce-2001-vmax-pcw-custom/6867373574.html

I fully understand the function of a supercharger and of a turbocharger but thanks for the explanation. My question was, is the bike pictured both supercharged and turbocharged? Like the mad max bike: http://www.madmax.com/ and if so what is the benefit? Couldn't you just increase boost of one...

Why does there need to be an intercooler if it is supercharged, it must be turbocharged as well? Why? http://jpx.responsejp.com/jpx/images/2004/04/02/59155_1.jpg?fit=normal

http://smd.craigslist.org/mcy/5579077308.html Hard to tell from pictures but pretty much never seen motor paint that nice on an 85.

Here he is.

Check my profile for pics, there are many to be seen along with photos of the build. I have owned 4 Vmaxes so I know what they go for, but again, you couldn't pay someone to do what I did to this bike. I mean I really don't think anyone would take the time to clean/replace every nut and bolt...

Mods include: stage 7 jet kit (retained butterflies for easy syncing) full UFO 4 into 2 old style canisters, braces on the frame to stiffen up the rear end (works great), progressive shocks all around, polished wheels, drag bars, fresh paint everywhere, not one speck of rust, it runs immaculately.

Considering selling my Vmax that I built ground up to fund surgery for my 180lbs Rottweiler who is suffering from elbow displasia (veterinarians are thieves). Check my profile for build pics and close ups of the finished bike. No expense was spared and nothing was left untouched. It's got a 95...

My bike was rattled canned top to bottom.

I really like the Duplicolor engine enamel clear coat for protecting rattle canned parts. I find using a scotch brite pad is enough for the first coat of paint - wet sand with 400 and up for the next few coats, then clear coat and wet sand again with 1000 and up - I usually do 2 to 3 coats of...

You will likely need a wiring harness though as the PO cut it up a good bit to add various electronics - tboost, fan switch, etc...

I didn't buy it because I have way too many Vmax/motorcycle parts already.

Contact Mike - vmax2extreme - he's got a good complete motor for sale - I have seen it in person and it's real clean.

Question: Does having a stage 7 jet kit affect the CmHg levels when syncing carbs? I reinstalled the Vboost system so that I could close the butterflys and sync the carbs but try as I might I cannot get the CmHg levels to the factory recommended 17cm or 170mm. Right now they are perfectly in...

I'm with Conner - I went riding with Jamie a few weeks ago and me and my buddy were the youngest ones there (29). Of course Jamie was still whooping up on me on his gen 2.
