Has anyone used the Delkevic mufflers on the stock catalytic converter or stock-sized x-pipe? I'm looking at a kit like this one: https://delkevic.com/ss70-9-stainless-steel-oval-muffler-to-fit-v-max-1700-2009-2019/ But the thing is, I already have an Optimal Carbone x-pipe with the...

I would not try to run a 120 radial on a stock Vmax front wheel. As others have said, a 120 radial will mount to it, but the profile will be compromised. If you're not a rider who attacks the corners, you'll probably be fine, but if you do like to get the bike leaned over, you'll find that the...

I R&Red the shock on my Gen2 to have it revalved by Traxxion Dynamics. (The stock damping rates were too soft, especially rebound damping.) The tank didn't need to come out. If I recall correctly, I think I raised the rear of the bike using a stand, then put a head-lift stand on the front...

I'm outta the loop.. hadn't bothered to browse starvmax.com in a while and decided to get back on there tonight, only to find out about its demise. It's hard to believe that someone just let it die.

Nice. What windscreen is on that bike?

I tried both the FTECU tune and the Gurued Gear tune. The FTECU tune is better than stock, but not good enough. The GG tune is expensive but will give the best overall results. Search for my thread with the comparison. If I was you, I'd put my order on hold with FTECU until you've read my review.

I'm awaiting my X pipe, which will be marched to stock mufflers and a Guru tune. What intake setup did you use? '99 VFR800, '08 1125R, '06 1050, '03 Vmax, '03 DRZ400

Re: FS: '03 Vmax, 19K, Excellent Condition, Nice Mods, Carbondale, IL Yup, it's gone. Time to order exhaust for my '14. '04 Cobra, '94 Caprice SS Wagon '08 1125R, '05 Speed Triple, '03 Vmax, '98 VFR, '03 DRZ400

Re: FS: '03 Vmax, 19K, Excellent Condition, Nice Mods, Carbondale, IL Yup, $5500. Nice detective work, Firemedic. Had a guy come look at it today, says he's coming back with cash tomorrow night. '99 VFR800, '08 1125R, '06 1050, '03 Vmax, '03 DRZ400

Here's the copy-and-paste from my Craigslist ad: For sale is my '03 Vmax. It has 19,7xx miles on it as of this posting. I used to have a '98 and it was the only bike I've sold that I missed. Last Spring, my wife somehow agreed to let me purchase another Vmax, and I ended up with this beauty...

If you switch to non-energy-conserving synthetic and your bike has clutch slippage issues, you probably have clutch issues. All of my bikes get Amsoil 15w50 non-bike-specific oil, and my Vmax will put daylight between the front tire and the road on the 1-2 upshift. '04 Cobra, '94 Caprice SS...

Definitely not touching any bikes that need work--thanks for the suggestion, though. If this particular seller would fix the use and not mention the crash, I bet he would get more for the bike than the repairs cost, if they are as minor as he says. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very good point. The dealer that was selling the new '14 for under $14K said that if he was able to get any more from Yamaha at the price he paid, he'd sell them at the same price. I haven't called any of the other dealers to see if they've got any other fees (freight, doc fees, assembly fees...

The Speed Triple is a fun bike. It's a little lacking in outright power but it makes up for it with tons of torque everywhere in the powerband. It does well for commuting, hooliganism, and backroads--just realize that 600s will pull away from you once you get over 100mph or so. I don't know...

This is a spinoff of my other thread. I've been shopping pretty hard for a Gen2. I've found '10s listed for as little as $11K and I've seen several low-mile '14s go for around $12K on Ebay. It kind of seems like a no brainer--a '14 for $12K makes better sense than a '10 for $11K, since the...

Yeah, getting a video of it running is a good idea. He's asking $11k, and said he will deliver. I'm a little torn--I've seen used '14s with low miles going for around $12k on EBay and like the idea of a 4-year newer bike, with a bit of warranty left, for only another grand. But I feel bad...

Wow, that IS pretty aggressive. Did you buy the last one or were there others for that price? '99 VFR800, '08 1125R, '06 1050, '03 Vmax, '03 DRZ400
