    Looking to buy first VMax

    You can find them a bit cheaper. Got my 2012 for 9000 w 1200 miles so clean it looked like it never hit the road but was dropped. Lol light scratches. Owned 95 and 01 before. The guy i bought it from ‘thought’ it would be a great first bike but was too much. Too heavy, too fast, too quick but...

    3d printed ABS signal adapters

    DD Clutch Mod GEN2

    When i did my 01 i followed a guy named lvlheads procedure removing wire and half disk and half plate and replaced them with full size disks/plate and dont recall where i got the stiffer spring (instead of two clutch springs). Is that necessary on the gen2. Or is it as simple as stacking the new...

    Cranks properly on second or third try only

    Oh no argument here, if it is in-fact the starter motor that would be an outlier. Hearing it on the video the engine sounds very different than the second time. Makes me think ‘straining’ like decomp is not activating and stuck in. ‍♂️

    Cranks properly on second or third try only

    i only said that because the first gens i it’s not going to be the starter motor bud. Starters go out they go out, they get weak they stay weak, just like the battery, I dont think the second crank the battery found it deep in its soul to find more juice. Second crank proves this process of...

    Heavy front end?

    Not sure what you mean really, heavy turning or heavy to wheelie? Lol. It is likely heavier feeling in corner because youre higher off the ground.

    Gen 2 air filter

    Never oiled your filters. After years of racing dirt track just a little bit goes a long way and never had dirt trails. I’d rather go, Id rather go sparse with oil than a more restrictive airfilter.

    Buying Gen2 Vmax advice

    i payed 9,000 for my 2012 w 1200 mi on it. And still riding like I stole it. Lol I try to make a habit of buying things cosmetically excellent (like it was taken care of) and from older ppl that respect their ****. Far as I know all bugs were worked out in 2011.

    How to restore faded buttons

    This does work well on fenders, kayaks etc anything made from polyethylene. Button are usually from a harder mix so they dont wear as much. You can use a little heat and steel wool though to get a resurface. UV only penetrates so far but that should work. By heat i mean just leave in the sun a...

    Cranks properly on second or third try only

    it sounds like it is straining on that first start. Almost as if timing is off, if you ever heard that, can’t be that though being the firing order is ‘fixed’. Hard to tell on a video but My best guess would be after riding the decompression pin is stuck ‘in’ and not releasing cam mechanism...

    Cranks properly on second or third try only

    I watch I was going to say hold button down till it turns over a few times then saw your video. I dont think thats the battery. Both times you started it within the first few seconds sound totally different and sounds correct the second time when first hitting start. It almost sounds like...

    Gen II pothole mishap, rear wheel

    I have never bent a motorcycle rim. Damn lucky you didnt get thrown. I did bend my roush rim a few years back racing on a tight road and back tire went just enough off the edge to catch a part of the asphalt that was missing. After researching and knowing how like like top speeds i opted to just...
