Sent mine to Sean Morley. He had machine shop drill out hole. He put in a sleeve which became receiver for a/f screw. It worked. That cylinder started running on idle! You know how to take the carbs off!

I made a tool kit specially for the Vmax, sized to fit under the passenger seat. Has more tools than the OEM kit. Really suggest having it, I have it for sale. Picture here: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=29113 On a more cautious note, everyone should consider having a backpack...

Not looking any more. Thanks!

Do you have to relocate the front turn signals when you put this windshield on the gen1 vmax? Thanks

If you have a used windshield, or a new one you are not going to use, contact me, like to see a picture of it. For Gen1, 2005. Thanks.

Found pics with search...

Anyone have this windshield on your gen1 Vmax? I would really like to see some pictures of it on the bike. Thanks.

Selling a bike off Craigslist. Out of state buyer has to go to his bank to get a loan and the cash. He asked me for VIN# to give to bank for loan. Asking those with experience or may know: Any harm to me to give VIN# to him?

I wanted an Interstate battery. But they told me they did not have the sealed AGM style for the bike. So I got their conventional.

Cool! Wished I could see this at the slot machine!

Battery stopped performing at acceptable level, even stopped being charged with trickle charger. Took it out and what I found was a conventional battery that every cell had very little acid in. One cell had 1/2 inch, some had 1 1/2 inch, one had 2 inches, from the bottom up. Asking for...

Great info. Question: there are 2 bolts that held the calipers to the piece the axle goes through and one bolt and nut that held that piece on the top to the long stay. So the 2 bolts are 32 ftpd and the stay bolt and nut is 16 ftpd? Think I got it.

Thanks a lot for the info!

Going to take the rear tire off, change a tire. Gives me a chance to use my new torque wrench. Would really appreciate a listing of torque settings I should use to put the tire back on. If memory serves, need it on axle and caliper bolts. Thanks.

I bought 3m Emblem glue from an automotive paint supplier and used it to attach emblems and vinyl things back to my vehicles. I think the pro's may use this. See it at...

Bought the 2009 Kawasaki Concours. ABS version. Black metallic. 17.6K miles. New Tires. Good condition.

I am buying a second bike for my stable. A 2009 Kawasaki Concours 1400. Do not intend to sell my 2005 vmax though. Will keep both.

This makes me laugh! I call learning about these things the T&E method. TRIAL AND ERROR. Who wants to read a book, we just want to mount a monster......

Did you trailer it or figure it out first? Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. Went to Lowe's. Came out, started it in 1st, clutch in, kick stand down. Let out on clutch, it died. Did it 2 more times! Then I said to myself what is going on? Looked around, saw the kick stand was...

I am not considering BMW right now. Sure they are great bikes, but heard they might require more service, adjustments, than I want to be involved with. And being in Norman, OK and the closest BMW dealer either Tulsa or Dallas, well, that is too far for me. Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha dealers...
