    Hitting the strip...

    If you are speaking of the signals, by law I probably have to have them on the bike. Maybe get a smaller pair closer to the forks.

    Hitting the strip...

    Back to the strip last night to make that 9 second pass but missed it by .004 of a second.:( This was the best pass of the night at 10.003, looks like the front was in the air at the 330' beam since I didn't trip it. A couple of passes that way. Well going to break a while and head back in 3 or...

    Which Gen should I get?

    Gen 2 all the way...had both. 85 and a 16 now. Gen 2's handle so much better and my bike is stock looking and I get sooo many compliments. Way more than my 85 did back in the day. By the way I am 59 and just got my 16 a little over a year ago, had many bikes in between the two Max's.

    Hitting the strip...

    I often wondered if the tire patch of a 240 would make much difference out of the gate but then you are giving up having more weight on the bike??? I do run a 200-55/18 which almost the stock tire. The 55 sidewall makes the tire a bit taller and just may account for my 60' times not being that...

    Hitting the strip...

    Yeah if you are racing to beat the guy or girl next to you RT is crucial especially if the bikes are pretty evenly matched. I am only looking at ET therefore 60' time is what you are looking at there. Actually it's the first 10' to 20' that makes or brakes your ET as Jay Gleason and Ricky Gadson...

    Hitting the strip...

    Well I finally was able to get the time to get the Max up to Tulsa Raceway Park Friday night. Last time I was on a dragstrip was back in 07 and before that was in the 90's. Was mostly walking through the launch before going. I came away satisfied in one way knowing that this bike will run in the...

    A few changes made...

    Had a friend fab some mirrors brackets to use stock mirrors. Instead of them going up and diagonal they go up and out. Saw this on pix of Sean's website, great idea to me. Tried to get from Sean but some issues with the guy that actually made them. They are not painted yet, going to go black on...

    Update to my post asking Gen 2 riders to tell me what its like to ride a Gen 2

    It was on the bike when I bought it but not one on the other side??? Sounds like Yamaha made them at onetime but has discounted them. I almost bought the set below and could kick myself for not doing so. https://www.vmaxforum.net/threads/sold-gen-2-palhegyi-engine-cover-clutch-cover-fs.49637/

    Update to my post asking Gen 2 riders to tell me what its like to ride a Gen 2

    Bought this 2016 in August 2020 with 5500 miles bone stock. Was not planning on doing any mods and even after riding and knowing that it did not need any extra horsepower I decided to add a few items. Pretty much did them within a two month period. I didn't like the taillight hanging down so far...

    Which Gen should I get?

    I had an 85 when they first came out for 7 years and it was a great bike, but for me it was straight line only. I now have a 2016, the Gen 2's handle much better plus the quickness is off the charts. IMHO

    Strapping the front end for strip

    Was wondering if anyone had purchased straps to pull the front down for dragging lately? I had bought some for my 01 CBR 1100 XX a while back and ended up never even using them but I was thinking they were only $40 or $50. I am wanting to put the Max on the strip one or two times just to see...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Ordered the seat cowl on April 30th and Rick said it would be 4 months. Just remembered it the other day and it's been 4 months. Emailed Rick and he said it would be mid October, 5 1/2 months. If it makes it then.
