    Vmax suddenly barely idles…won’t run

    Did you check that the fuel pump had adequate outflow?

    Fuel bugs? Like real bugs...

    Nothing lives in gasoline. The real question here is how, or where, are these little dead bugs getting past the fuel filter?

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    Perhaps this combination might help with your wet road condition confidence?

    How to replace Gen 2 spark plugs

    Nice write up. But after the ECU and complete battery box removal, I didn't have to do anything with the subframe. I've taken my gen II plugs out more than a couple times now, and also on the wife's gen II, and I think one time I loosened a couple places at the left front coolant lines (no...

    Vmax and Friends, Eureka Springs, AR

    Good times at this rally! 18th in a row for me, and loved every one of them. Can hardly wait to see friends in Eureka Springs tomorrow.

    Valve Clearance Gen 2

    One of our TX gen II riders had his cams reground (I've no idea of where), and while I can't say how much hp gain he got, I can say he wasn't able to navigate the twisties enough faster than his previous rides with the OEM cams still installed to justify how much it cost him. I can certainly...

    Hi guy's me back 2006 vmax fork leaking

    No. ps - hope you are kidding about the need to keep things from your wife. Life's way too short to have to sneak around hiding m/c's when you should either be putting her on the back seat, or getting her a bike of her own, and riding, riding, riding.

    Need a Go-Fund Me site to help buy bird food

    Cute, cuddly little things - when they aren't staring you down.

    Need a Go-Fund Me site to help buy bird food

    Keep them up there Danny. There's talk they are on the increase just to the East AND South of me, but I don't want them in my yard.

    Motorcycle ramp

    Luv those solid steel tie rods for the lowered tailgate. Beats the heck out of relying on the OEM cable straps to hold up to the added weight when loading/unloading.

    Thank you to Hypermax

    Hey Eric, it looks like someone has stolen your valve cap.

    Thank you to Hypermax

    Do the brake pads now have 100% full contact? Can't see them in the pic. It wouldn't do to have you rolling up behind me at any of the stop/wait points on our rides without full braking capacity. lol

    Oops, dead battery

    Only way to tell IMO would be to get it back on a proper charger asap. I'd do at least a 2amp rate, for as many hours as it takes for the charger to tell you it is back up to 100%. Re-install it. Go ride it some. Recheck voltage. If it quickly falls below a 12.6V, or so, surface charge...

    Thank you to Hypermax

    Eric, your "after" pic still doesn't look like the bracket is providing 100% rotor-to-pad contact to me. The caliper still looks like it is somewhat kicked up at the back. Is that just me vs the picture angle playing tricks on these old, near sighted eyes?

    Hillary Justice - Just A Theory

    Secret footage of the Hillary Clinton for president nominating committee meeting has just been released to the press. Apparently, a camera was snuck in as they were practicing for next weeks' Democratic convention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjUV-byB8ls

    How much does a jen 2 Vmax weigh

    Yeah, I know. It's an infliction I was born with, and she keeps reminding me of it all the time too. It's tough to live up to sometimes......no......wait.......it's "Damn Jim" that she keeps saying all the time. Forget I said anything. Nevermind. :bang head: :biglaugh:

    How much does a jen 2 Vmax weigh

    Well, suspecting more fowl play, I googled this one to learn more myself. ;)

    How much does a jen 2 Vmax weigh

    About 2600lbs - the tractor, of course. I have no idea how much a Brockway truck rig would weigh, as I've never seen one in person. ....aw crap, there I did it again. :bang head::biglaugh:
