    Front Fork Air Pressure

    If you google "no loss air chuck" there are lot of sources for tools available to allow precise no loss adjustment of pressure in small volume chambers without helping Jeff Bezos. These adapters allow the use of your compressor or nitrogen or some other gas. The small pump might be your...

    V-boost is glorified solution for bad carburetors. Funny!!!

    Lots of guys have tried to come up with a better carb system than Yamaha did in 1983-84 during the development and testing of the V Max. If you toss out any of the constraints put on the engineers to meet CA emissions - Yamaha corporate (profit / no recalls), Yamaha sales, (price point) mfg...

    V-boost is glorified solution for bad carburetors. Funny!!!

    There are lots of guys out here that know this better than I do but my understanding of V boost is that at higher RPM the "momentum" of the incoming air flows to the "other cylinder" when 1 intake valve closes and the other intake on that side opens, when the V boost is open. This allows the use...

    VMax going to rest

    I have one I'll be parting out soon to keep the market going. How much for the bike "as-is where is" ? I might be interested.

    VMax going to rest

    I've run into this many many times in my 50 years of fixin stuff. Usually the toughest ones have the stupidest or simplest problem when you finally find it. The toughest battery charging problem I ever had was the first, in 1973. We tried everything and one day the boss walked in and said "hook...

    Misery in Phoenix

    Would you have a BOM for a reliable "AR 22 WMR rifle" ? I don't keep track, has that been figured out ?

    Misery in Phoenix

    Ish ! I prefer the cold - you can put enough clothes on to stay warm, but you can't take enough off to stay cool. Your post begs the question, were you up there in Jan ? Working ? International Falls ? Boundary Waters ? Fishing, XC skiing, camping, snowmobiling ? Any experience there in Jan...

    My Agustas sing at 14,500 or 240 Hz, the same range as a female vocalist maybe. Does that count ?

    Another true Yamaha fan ! Nothing wrong with 80 + Yammie's sitting around ! It might be my favorite brand but there are so many other really cool bikes from other niche's and era's I like to have others to ride and drool on. I don't have anything considered old but if someone has anything really...

    I don't have any really good pix but here's part of my pile. There's an 06 and an 09 in there, they are a couple of the favorites. Current count, as always: "not enough".

    Radiator cleaning

    We have lots of bugs here in MN in the summer, especially near the lakes and swampy areas. 1) Foam it with a car foamer if you have one or bug and tar remover from the auto parts store to soften them up. 2) Use a soft bristle brush to remove what you can mechanically. 3) I use a pressure...

    Handlebar options for Gen 2

    Hey, just teasing here......is your Maxx doggy or something ? Mine doesn't care what gear I'm in as long as I'm within a click or so. Give it a twist and hang on or smell smoke, LOL. How does it know which gear it's in ? Did you add a rotary switch or something ? Tom

    Gen 1 vs newer Porsche

    Here's the rule we use in MN on our sleds, which vary widely in tune, HP, torque, traction, etc, and operate on loose snow, hard pack, glare ice, etc. Hundreds of permutations there just like Porsches and Ferraris vs FZ's, VX's, etc, .....but the bottom line is this, the same as in a large share...

    Brood X cicadas

    My friends hot wife, in her 30's at the time, had a wasp fly into the car she was driving and got inside her shirt. She was allergic so she jumped out on a major 4 lane hwy here in MN and peeled her top and bra off as fast as she could without regard to anything - she was in lifesaving mode...
