    V-Max horn specification

    Adding the relay alone to the stock horn will make a noticeable difference in the "loudness" factor.

    Less MPG, and oil in airbox

    You have a turbo on your Max?

    Just discovered how horrible an '85 Max handles...

    You can get by with what you have, just with minor changes. Check tire pressure and condition. Stock tires like 38 in the front and 42 in the rear (Metzeler recommends same with the 880's). If you weigh anywhere near 200# with your gear on, you will have to keep the maximum 14#'s of air in the...

    No gas in float bowl

    This happened to me on one of my carbs. Piece of dirt was stuck to one of the ridges on the needle valve making it stick shut. Pull the rack, dissassemble and clean your carbs. Check your fuel tank for rust and change the fuel filter. Mike Costa VMOA #3531

    So, was the wait worth it?

    Bike is too heavy. Extra power is almost eaten up by the weight. It's the trend of "heavy weight cruisers." Still a 4 gallon tank, although it is plastic and won't rust. I'm hoping some of the stuff on it ie. wheels and front suspension, will be able to bolt onto my '99 with little or no mods...

    I can do that on my current Vmax!

    Headlight Bulb Bargain

    Check out Ebay Item #130221356023! I bought two H4's for my Vmax at this price and finally got the chance to try it out last night. WOW, what a difference over the Standard H4 bulb I had in there before! Light is much whiter and brighter. On HIGH I could light up road signs at least an eighth...

    R6 vs. VMax

    That R6 was barely moving. He could've dusted the Max at any time. My son I had one for awhile and power doesn't come on until past 9000RPM. That road, BTW, is in Spain, near the French border.

    R6 vs. VMax

    He's unsteady because he can't seem to sit still on the bike. Looks like he thinks he's riding the R6 instead of a Vmax.

    White smoke Technical Question

    That's my vote...condensation until pipe gets hot.

    Setting dry float levels on the bench

    One other thing that I've noticed when doing these carbs and has been confirmed. See the shape of the float and that casting mark circle on the jet block? When the float height is set correctly, the edge of the float will be exactly the same as the casting mark, like the edge of a circle on the...

    How Much $ For The New 2009 Vmax?

    Current MCN says in the vicinity of $24,000 US Dollars. Hey, HI-TECH costs money!!!

    No Fire at all

    Since it started once and then died, something failed. Your main fuse probably blew as others are saying. If fuse is OK then you have some troubleshooting to do. Only other safety switch is on the clutch master. Easy to check with an ohm meter as is side stand switch.

    Countdown on Star Site-New Vmax teaser

    Re: Crossing my fingers....... Interesting thing I noticed is that when you put cursor over the model list on the left, only one with a pic pop-up is the might Max.

    Countdown on Star Site-New Vmax teaser

    Definitely a key, especially since they use the word "key" in the intro. it's one of those electronic theft prevention keys. Must fit onto something centered on the bike , like in the center top of a faux tank to look like gas cap. This new bike is not going to be cheap!

    Racetech is DONE!

    How far into the tube did you have to push the springs to get the caps screwed on? Waht weight oil did you put in? Mike Costa VMOA #3531

    Ron, do you have a volt/ohm meter?

    Another sighting?

    Checked out a B-King at my local MC dealer a few weeks ago...man that thing is W-I-D-E. Reminded me of a Boss Hoss from the top. Cans had been changed to Two Brothers carbon cans...much better looking than the stock watchamacallits.
