Curious... what did you do with your blinkers? Relocate? Replace? Also, loos like you relocated the passenger pegs... true?

Hi all, This is my second gen2 Vmax. My 2009 had the factory OEM side bags. I was never real happy with them. They were not lockable, small, and just felt flimsy. Not to mention you can't get them anymore and if you can they are expensive. When I purchased my 2014 a few months ago, I started...

Anybody have any guesses of the odds we'll see a third generation Vmax at some point in the future? Seems like it would be a good candidate for a revival since it was in production for 35 years. Rumor has it the gen 2 was killed because it couldn't meet the new European emissions standards.

I wonder if your tune changed the set points for the fans turning on?

Ture, but you can always add supplements on the corrosion inhibitors if you'd like. If 60/40 is good enough for a $100,000 Corvette z06, it's probably good enough here. BTW, 2014 Vmax's shipped with Blue HOAT from the factory, not the standard green coolant good for 24 months.

I agree that something else is wrong here... probably air flow over the radiator, a plugged radiator, t-stat or the water pump, but running a heavier water mix definitely helps to keep any engine running cooler. Cold storage is an issue since he's unlikely to change the radiator fluid just to...

If it were me, I would go 2:1 water/glycol. This gives freeze protection down to about 0F. I don't know your storage conditions over the winter months, but my bike is always inside and never sees temps that low. 60/40 gives freeze protection down to about -10F or so.

My 2015 Corvette z06 manual calls for a 50/50 mix. In 2017, Chevy decided to recommend 60 water/40 coolant to help with overheating issues. This is for a car that might possibly be driven in cold temperatures.

The only other suggestion I have is to raise the percentage of water in your coolant. Water is a better heat transfer fluid than glycol. Most track cars use straight water with water wetter for lubrication with good results.

I had the competition ECU installed in my 2009. Not worth the money in my opinion. It removed the rev restrictions, but not much else was noticeable. You'd be better off getting the stock computer refreshed by the Vmax guru. Also, my 2009 was a victim of a bad oil pump recall. I know the guy...
