    Motorycle For Sale 1995 Yamaha V-MAX 1200 in KENTUCKY.

    Can't ride two at once, but you can certainly keep two. Always nice to have a back up. They fit really nice behind the cars in the garage or under an awing/porch with a cover.

    Odds for a Gen 3 Vmax?

    The odds are slim as lack of sales was also a factor for the discontinuation.

    WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO???

    Sorry, can't get to that song due to needing Amazon Music Unlimited. I have Prime and pay $139 a year, however, even though Prime members get access to about 2 million songs for free, I have to pay MORE money for Music Unlimited to unlock Amazon’s 90-million song catalog and high-res streaming...

    Handle Bar Risers

    options - overheating vmax1700 if in stop and go traffic for 30 minutes

    I'm leaning towards a water pump issue. If possible, I would check to see how much coolant is flowing - your flow rate vs the stock spec (if there is one). Maybe pull the pump and inspect it. I would also be concerned about that 1" inch piece of plastic you found. Did you photograph that piece...

    Genuine tool kit change

    I bought the Knipex 5" wrench pliers for my motorcycle tool kit as an upgrade to the factory pliers and to augment the wrenches. Yours look totally different. Thinking of a nano or micro socket set.

    Gen 2 questions.

    1. Can't speak to the ECU. Most use Tim Nash's flash 2. Owners manual says to use premium unleaded with a pump octane number of 91 or higher with up to 10 percent ethanol. Gasohol with methanol is not recommended 3. Areas to focus on are the same as any used motorcycle. Service records, signs...
