The bike is a 1985, with 46,000 miles, 2nd gear and valves just adjusted it has the k and n drop in air filter in the stock airbox. It also has the super trap slip on mufflers with the removable disks, the question I have is there any change to jetting after installation. I bought the bike...

Its good to see another rider make it out ok. As for your wife and wifes family I dont agree with them not liking the fact that you ride.

The front rim has a little hiccup in it and I want to replace it with a totally straight one. If anyone has one in good shape I am interested. Please email pics to [email protected] Thanks Jeremy

The tires are dunlop qualifiers, with 32 psi in them. The swingarm is tight and the shocks do have dampening adjustment on them along with preload. It only does it when Im really accelerating HARD. How do the dunlops compare to other tires and what is the best tire out there that has been...

Out riding and I found when Im accelerating hard, the rear tire "skips" I weigh 150lbs and was wondering if it was my weight or lack there of or if I can adjust the suspension to aid in the power delivery. I usually ride RD's which dont have nearly as much power as the max so I have never...

Well after some adjustments I found out that the steering stem bearings had a "notch" in them. Previous owner had them way to tight and when I loosened them it became more evident. Pulled it apart tonight and found the races were heavily worn. New bearings are on the way. Thanks again for...

Took the V-max out for a 30 mile ride tonight and noticed that its kind of a hand full to keep straight. Im constantly correcting to keep from wandering in my tire lane. I got home and noticed that the throttle side fork tube is about 1/16" lower in the top tree than the right, which is...

There is no punch mark there but there is other markings on the engine up front on the left side (sitting on the bike) front motor mount there is "77" then 5666 under it? and back by the engine stamping there is 97 and 94?? do those mean anything? Checked the charging system and it makes...

Cool, thanks again I will have to check the rear fluid this week and get it replaced. One thing I did notice is that it has a little hiccup when coming up to a stop sign and reving to down shift, I was going to run some seafoam thru it. any suggestions on that? THanks Jeremy

Nope no california model here. I was unsure of what was the cause of the 2nd gear problem. I will have to make sure to clutch it all the time I guess. I have to put new throttle cables on it as they are slow to return and I found a crack in the "elbow" from the hand control. Other than...

Thanks for the replies. I live in manitowoc, righjust south of green bay anything else I should check or watch out for? Thanks Jeremy

Bike has 45,000 miles on it runs strong, NO noises whatsoever from engine is there any way to tell if the update for 2nd gear has been done? is there a certain vin number that would be the cut off for the revision, or did all 85 maxes have the issue? and if not how hard is it to do so...
