rear tyre 17 or 18"??

Will be done once homoligation is passed successful. So in at about 2-3 weeks.

Well, I am not going to fight for that. But read what you quote: they talk about cars. A motorbike is not a car. And each car, each kind of headlight (reflector) has to be approved seperately. This might help you understanding why elder cars and bikes will always be excluded. In total, for...

@Parminio with all due respect, but please dont distribute terribly wrong information. This LED bulb is legal for some (very few) cars and for none (=z e r o) motorcycle. I do not want to appear inpolite and pay you a beer, if you would pass a 08/15 police control with this bulb in a n y...

Since there were a couple of suggestions to improve light intensity and I wanted to both reduce power consumption as well as improve headlights; I want to present my solution. I know there are easier solutions (LED bulbs) but they are NOT street legal in Europe and wont ever get homoligation...

First time sitting on Maxie after this winter. VMax ready for homoligation now, I will post something in regards to the headlights seperately. The moped in background is a Suzuki Bandit 1250, just here to avoid boredom 🙃

This is probably the most interesting upgrade beside the rims. EFI makes VMax easier to use here, especially because of the mountains with its height differences. A kit would be a dream, and if the price isnt too high, I would go for it immediately. Not just because of fuel savings. The...

And what about your European fellows like me?? I guess I would not be the only one interested!

Thanks a lot - next on the list... I was considering the R1 calipers.

You still using the original brake cylinder?

Very very interesting, please continue your development!

Sorry @MaxMidnight for talking about France when living myself in German speaking country Austria, but I guess, @JEAN PIERRE EPSTEIN is following. There was a type "2WE" which was officially imported by Yamaha with 74kW, without V-Boost and smaller exhaust diametre, and I guess you mean this...

Europe is a big corcus with many directors. Plus the local governments, hahaha. I guess you will be able to register one if you are stubbern enough. Here its a question of relations, time and money - nothing is impossible, except getting papers for a car/bike that existed long before the papers...

Why using capitals?? You wont ever have a chance for a COC on a 1985 bike since COC exists since mid 2000's (I am not exactly sure but I think its 2006 onwards). Here in Europe you will have to apply for a single homoligation. Since UK is not EC anymore, I cant tell you exactly what kinda...

Dear @Fire-medic , maybe you remember we had some nice emails when I got the VMax as a XMas gift from my lady. I followed your professional advise and had luck to get beautiful forged rims from a German company PVM with no spot and for relatively small bucks. My Maxie had only 2 owners, the main...

So, valves are adjusted, new valve cover gaskets fitted, slowly starting to assemble my Maxie. Yesterdays mini-task: Getting my new rear shocks mounted. these are Oehilns shocks and especially chosen because the length is adjustable. Since Maxie and me are located in strict Austria (Europe) it...

You are 100% right! Living here in Austria, I am quite experienced importing vehicles of any kind from EC to my place. Its all about to fidn the right item at the right time. My last 3 cars for example, I bought after a testride (travelling there was like a holidays) used them 3-4 years and...

Welcome anytime! It would be like a real wonder if we find 2 of them same time, dont you think? What I will do (maybe its also for you) when this homoligation engineer is doing my rims - I will ask him about details to get an US/Canadian VMax over here and registered legally. As @02GF74 wrote...

No, I am living in Austria, thats a tiny country close to Germany and Italy. Here in our area (also in Germany) you have a good chance to get CoC from Yamaha (they have offices in most countries) or one of their affiliates. Other choice is you will get paperworks done by one of the engineers...

you might also try autoscout24.de or mobile.de which offer listings throughout Europe. Once the bike has a Certificate of Conformity you should be able to register it in UK, probably doing some local adjustments. tbh I am considering myself to purchase a Gen2 from US and go through a...
