Yes, I am considering buying a second bike. Am considering either a Yamaha FJR 1300 or a Kawasaki Concours 1400. 2010 model year or higher. Both have ABS and other neat things. The Concours has traction control that increases safety. No, I am not going to sell my 2005 Vmax, never will...

I created a new seat for my 2005. Cannot find the thread but I called it the vmax ss seat. A little higher, a little longer, a little wider. Had a lot of pictures. Now that I have been riding it for some months now, I can say I am really happy with it. My butt never gets numb or hurts...

Way back in 75 the fastest I ever went was 130 on my 75 Honda 750 four. Blue one. No way is 200 possible.

Do we have one in the group? I need to ask a Michigan attorney some questions about property laws, foreclosure, walking away from homes. Have a brother-in-law that has a house there, needless to say he is loosing, has 1st and 2nd mortgages. I know this is not a Vmax post, but if you know...

Ordering plugs. While ordering thought I'd get some oil drain plug gaskets, the compressing type. Anyone know the part number?

Took off cover. Saw plug with rubber washer. Left washer alone. Put some Rtv on rim of washer and where washer contacts the cover. Reinstalled cover. Will let dry, see if it holds. Just wonder if I should have pried off washer, Rtv both sides of it.

Man, thanks alot. I love this place!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to give you the Special Vmax Forum Patience Award for 2012! Congratulations, you earned it!

I am going to stay with my stock carb setup for my 2005. It is fast enough for me. Like to ride my bike and like my bike to run smooth.

Welcome! I think you are going to fit right in with these fellows.

I'll try that.

Now after a month my back brakes squeal. Looks like the disk in the back on the edge, not the sides, is hitting something. It starts once I am almost stopped. Loosened the caliper, adjusted it up a little further away from edge, retightened. Did not make much difference. Anyone got any...

Did not know there were lots of folks out there that had experienced what I did, a wasp sting in the helmet. Was 14 years old, 1967, riding my Cushman Super Eagle down the road. All of the sudden a wasp flies into my helmet. Stick my hand up the helmet trying to kill it, finally did just before...

Guess the seller took it off craigslist, did not get to see it. Any more details on it? year, size, price?

I think the gen 2 is a great bike, wished I could have one. Maybe one day. In April was in a Shawnee, OK yamaha dealership, they had a beautiful new 2010 red vmax. They were asking 16k for it. Went back to buy a fuel filter the other day, they had traded it. Anyway, considering I love the...

My supertrapps have a great sound and look. With eight disks no need to re-jet the carbs. You may find a set somewhere at areal bargain.

Totally awesome man! Never seen a cleaner bike! Please come over and do that to my 2005. Maybe you can give us a few steps on how you do it. Do you go to the car wash with it on a trailer with the bodywork off and spray? Thanks man for the pics. I am drooling now.

Here is the Viper on a vmax I talked about, FYI. Welcome to our little community. All like minded about the awesome, bad-ass, american hotrod motorcycle, the Vmax!
