I am thinking of adding an Aprilia Tuano to the stable. Anyone out there who has one or ridden one lately that can tell me if the seating is as upright as the vmax? I am having a hard time finding one locally to sit on and check out. I have a bad back so seating position is important to me...

Hi, Looking to see if anyone has a K & N filter they are not using, in good shape, that would fit a 2006 VMax and wants to sell it cheap? Thanks ps would ship to Florida

Don't forget about the weight issue. No doubt the FJR has a 70 pound or probably more advantage over the V Max.

My 06 with 4/1 Kerker is getting 30 mpg tops. any suggestions? I did pull the plugs today and the one looks like it is running richer than the others.

First we kill all the Congressmen!

I bought a 2006 V Max w 11K miles and Kerker 4/1 pipe in nice condition for $4750 in January. It needed carbs cleaned so ended up paying about $250. 5K for a 06, I was thrilled. I would follow the other guys advise and offer low bucks. Add ons like the corbin seat only get about 25 cents on...

Thanks guys, I will try a shot of wd40, then new lights then take seat and cover and check the fuses and for loose wires. People always said I had a loose wire!

HI Hatter, Would you let me know how the top case works out after you get it? Thanks, Glenn

Hi, 2006 V Max. Brake lights not working. The 2 connectors (female, in clear plastic) that connect to the male connectors on the bottom of the brake fluid resavore by the front brake were off. I replaced them. No luck brake lights still out. I pulled the cover off the tail light and there are...

The prices on those bags (I am looking at purchasing a top case soon and they are very low priced as well). Does anyone have experience with their top cases and can tell us how they look/perform?

If its like a jelly fish sting peeing on it will help. I tried that once on a shark bite victim but she said it did not help much.

Have a decent battery now but just wondering if it died could I hook up to a car battery and jump start it or would it cause problems. I have an 2006 V Max.

On my boat my mechanic has me take the gas line off right where it meets the engine and run the engine till it runs completely out. I do this every time if I am not going out in a few weeks as the ethonal causes more problems and can easily gum up the carb. Works well doing this. I do have to...

A can of wasp spray lets you hose them from 20 feet away. Gives you a good running start!

Where in the world do you get barbacue paint? So I can use the exhaust to grill on?

My Kerker 4/1 pipe is looking dingy. Thinking about removing it, prep and paint with engine paint (500 degrees). When I put it back on should I use the old gasket or get a new one? If I have to take the old gasket off is there any special way of doing that to make it easy or does it just...

On the bright side the Kerker pipe probably dropped 20 lbs off you exhaust. Less weight is increased performance!

Thanks guys. I am mechanically challenged so the pictures willl be of great help.

Thanks guys. You guys are really helpful. I have a bad back and working on the bike does not help it but doing it right the first time with help from you guys is greatly appreciated!

I wanted to check or replace my fuel filter. Yamaha owners manuel says take it to Yamaha, no directions. Where is the fuel filter located and whats the easiest way to get to it? On most bikes you turn off fuel petcock when changing. No fuel petcock on V Max. Anything you need to do to keep...
