First of all, I've been lurking/checking post for time to time but feel like ages since I've actively posted. Well, today started out washing, spray wax, adjusting my rear brake switch etc. Then noticed a little hard starting when I went to move her out of the sun to spray wax. TBH I noticed a...

Days like that are among my favorite "what did you do...today" threads Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My '01 has always felt front heavy to me. Enough so that the few times I've carried the front wheel accidentally I always had a cringey feeling when it set down. That said I've never been big on trying to wheelie it intentionally. When I did though it was usually clutching it up around 4-4500...

That shade of blue looks really good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Since I got my used KLR last year I'm always torn when it comes to wandering aimlessly. The V Max is much better on long open stretches of N Dakota highway. However, a lot of ND Is gravel and dirt river roads that beg to be explored on a dual sport. Honestly , I'm glad I own both. Sent from my...

I had an acewell speedo on an old FZR 600 street fighter. I honestly don't remember exactly how I set it up, but it was mostly trial and error. I think the install/calibration instructions on the model I had a math formula based off outside diameter of the wheel. I expoxied the pickup magnet by...

Back in my college and early post college years the Bandit, ZRX1200 and the VMax were my unholy trinity of bad idea dream hooligan bikes while I kept my 77 gs750 on the road. (I guess I had a thing for 1200s without realizing it. To date the only one I have owned is the Max. I still wouldn't...

I bought some shoes off a drug dealer the other day I don't know what they are laced with But I can't stop trippin Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't have a Yeti Cooler, but I live in ND so I live in a freezer 1/2 the year. Seriously though, I have considered one of their coffee mugs. $400 cooler is pricey, but a $600 cooler for $400 is a heck of a deal Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I had been getting a LOT more seat time on a little 250 dual sport this summer than on my Max, so next to that it feels like it weighs the same as a Miata. I'm pretty sure the Miata has a couple of kilos on it though. Kidding aside, what Nubicon said above sounds accurate. Sent from my iPad...

What's in the pickup? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Luckily, senior citizen in the Escalade pickup had only minor injuries. Thankfully the road rage beef between ass-clown on the Bagger and the attempted murderer in the Sentra didn't take out any innocents. ( Not counting the Escalade since the human contents inside were ok ) Unrelated side rant...

The Bandit 1200, ZRX, and the V-max used to be my trinity of big displacement factory hooligan bikes. To date I have still only owned one of these . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would totally ride a luxo-tourer with 2nd gen VMAX power. I probably would want to pay for one though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I learned this with an FZR. I ended up changing the r/r for a newer yzf-600 R/r and it was fine until I sold it. Electrical has been ok so far on the Max, minus a battery that was bad. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forum, There are a great bunch of folks on here. Always helpful with V Max technical knowledge, and pleasant to chit chat and BS with in the off topic threads, too . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sea foam, contains Toluene and magic. I've had really good really results with it on my old GS 750 and FZR. Plus I have seen some pretty amazing vids of what it can do on small engines like mowers/ snow throwers and such. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I daily ride my 250 dual sport most days, but even though my V Max is an over the road/ fair weather bike I can't imagine not having it. V Max was always one of my "dream" bikes since I first saw them. People say "never meet your heroes" but I have never been disappointed in my Max since the day...
