Re: Barack Obama- This *WILL* make you sick.... Subject: A Black Columnist on Obama Ken Blackwell - Respected columnist for the New York Sun It's an amazing time to be alive in America. We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first...

I had a chance to measure the stock V Max piston today while waiting on some other stuff, so I bead-blasted all the grease and oil off everything so they were clean for weight accuracy. Stock V Max Piston, both pin circlips, piston pin and the ring set: 272.40 grams - john

I'll bet a lot of guys will be wearing diapers (and filling them) when they first twist the grip of the new Max!!!! :biglaugh: john

Sounds like a cool project! Let me give it some thought on building your engine and the only reason I pause is because we don't typically build engines (any engine for anyone) using their supplied parts, due to the liability we're faced with if one of those parts pre-maturely let's go for...

We have the camshafts for our street engines ground the same way, because typically, the customer won't need or want to take the engine apart again once we put it together, so their won't be a need to alter valve timing once the engine is built. However, our racer customers are always...

No problem. With regards to those slotted cam sprockets~ Do you ever have a problem with the sprockets slipping on the fasteners at high RPM combined with high valve spring pressures and high lift camshafts? The reason I ask is because we've used a similar adjustable camshaft sprocket in...

Hey Sean~ I received your package of "goodies" today at home, so I'll take them to the shop tomorrow and get some measurements on the stuff, for which I'll post up for all. Interesting piston designs and geeez is this stock stuff heavy!!! No wonder the VMAX only has a 9500 RPM redline with all...

Yup, I agree. :)

It's a good read, but it's also an 11 mb file!

Damn...that's a *niiiiiiiiice* machine! I just can't stand this torture... One side of me is trying to listen to the voice of reason and hold off for the first year of the bike to let things settle down a bit, but the other side of me is screaming to run right to the dealer I've had my...

If it is the bike that hits production~ Overall, I like it a lot and like someone else already said, it combines the original heritage of the old design that made the bike what it is today, with the new styling that makes it sleek and sinister. Basically it screams "sledgehammer power" and looks...

I've been watching for the new VMAX to come out for nearly 3 years now and have had a running deposit on one for about 1 1/4 years. However, I've grown tired of waiting for the new model to arrive for this long, especially after the countless let-downs Yamaha has passed down during that time; so...

He should be flogged until death for even having her on the bike like that in the first place, (let alone with no helmet being on her of course) than not even having the brains to turn the bike off while she's still on it!!! Words can't express the level of stupidity here and like you said...

BWHHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhhhahahahahhahahhahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Pow! Check out 'dis shiiit right here! Pow!!!" Hahahahahahahahaha! :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

I agree. I've done a lot of research in the last 2 years or so in the subject of the New World Order, Government interpersonal interference and govt. conspiracy theories. If you take the time to search out the real, accurate information based on documented, hand-written, undesputable facts...

I'm always working, so I don't get to ride much and I've only ever seen 2 other VMAX's in my home town of 349,000. Everyone around here either has a Harley or a sport bike of some kind, but not too much in between. Two of my employees do have nice bikes that I'd trust to ride with, but after us...

Oh...by the way, maybe Buster or one of the other Mods here can make all this technical engine information available in a "sticky", so if someone needed to know something, it could be easily accessed by everyone easily. As far as I can tell from surfing around the web, this would be the only...

Thanks a bunch Sean, I'll put all of this in my notes and it will help a *LOT*. Anything you need back, just let me know in the email and send 'em back when I'm done. Also, I'll weigh all those different pistons for you so you can have the weight data from them too. I also just called the cam...
