Yeah, I have no idea straight off how to get boots on there...and the seals have to be done pronto so probably will pass...

Well on the bottom of the uppers where the fender bolts on there is very little lip or place for a boot to grab onto... I have to measure it but it looks like almost nothing there...

Sorry that last link didn't work.... Let me find another... On the OEM parts list there is nothing listed as bushing....

Which part shown here is the bushing? https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-schematic/0

Thanks... Yeah I figured I had better get OEM seals... I read about people who used "other"... Money is VERY tight right now, otherwise I would do everything....

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question.... Does anyone know if anyone makes fork boots for the v-max 1200s? The design appears to limit where boots would attach to... I'm about to do seals and would like to get some boots on her... Also, if anyone might have any...

I'd be interested to hear what if anything you find is out of tune .... Mine is only getting 70 so I'm guessing the carbs need to be serviced...and I don't think v-boost is running...

Well, I didn't see a thread on mileage so I thought I'd share mine here and see what's horrible or great ... Just got this bike and I had a chance to get some mileage numbers, I seem to be getting around 70 miles until I need to go to Reserve.... I haven't seen that many posts on miles but...

Thanks... I didn't think of the idle setting, it does idle low, around 1K...

No, I haven't had a chance yet, but you're right it need's to be done.... This was just out of left field for me because I had taken her out several times already with no issues and then suddenly this happened... Thanks for the suggestions....

Well, I was out today on the bike and for the first time she just died... It happened twice, I noticed before that a kind of brief miss as if the ignition stopped working every so often but only for a half a second while idling but not long enough to stall the engine, it became more of a miss...

Okay thanks for the info... I can't say I have ever heard the servo doing it's thing... I was confused at first about the other sounds but now I get that it's the fuel pump... The T-Boost switch doesn't seem to do anything regardless of the position -- up/middle/down... When I have...

Okay, so never having owned or rode a V-Max before I did some research first... My understanding is that when you turn on the ignition -- turn the key on -- that you should hear the servo cycle...with a clear whining sound... What I am hearing is not that sound.... Sometimes it clicks...

Well, at some point I guess I need to have a pro look at it.... I am probably being a little picky but after hearing about the power for all these years I guess I was expecting some kind of rapture....as I made the jump to lightspeed....

Well who knows I might do something, but I didn't think I'd need to.... 100HP for a V-Max seems quite low, I remembered hearing numbers closer to 140...at one time... Were there some performance cuts done after the first model came out?

Yeah they look good sound fine to me it's just killing me that my 0 to 60 feels almost the same as my thirty-seven-year-old CB900. I was really looking forward to twisting the throttle and being quite a bit faster than my other bike and unless I'm losing my mind it just doesn't feel like that.

Looking for either a rear luggage rack or rear luggage mount bracket in order to mount a trunk that I have.... Thanks.

I would guess that'll be a bit expensive.... Hard to justify... If those Cobras cause such power loss I wonder how they sold so many....

Well, I just found the Cobra notes in the book that came with the bike... Talks about the install of the mufflers and the removal of the center stand... Too bad, all for what? Less power and no center stand.... ::angry teeth:: Any way to recover performance with these pipes? I also...

Yeah that's what I noticed... Without knowing exactly how it supposed to perform, it felt like it was weak until it started to rev up.... Any chance some tuning might help? Returning to a stock exhaust would probably be too costly...
