First thing is don't try to start it. Open the gas tank and have a look. The tank has a drain plug on the bottom. Drain any gas and check for rust. I brought a bike back to life that was sitting for 3 years and the tank was a mess. I found it easier to just replace the tank with a good used one...

I'll go down and check the local lock smith tomorrow and see if they can help me out. I've just noticed that if you mention the word "motorcycle" to them they tend to be a bit apprehensive.

Here is a pic of the key it actually has the key code printed on the key. The problem is the dealer can not find a part number to order one.

I put a few more miles on the bike today and made two discoveries. I forgot to torq the front caliper bolts :surprise::surprise: I felt a clunk when I came to a stop. I pulled into a parking lot and the left caliper had nearly fallen off! Oops. The second discovery was that the starter is a dud...

I need a new key for my 97 V-Max. I went down to the dealer to order one but they could not find one or even a part number. My key has the cut numbers on it but it seems I have no way to order it. Does anyone know how to get a blank or new key? Its the older short key style. Thanks

LOL it's on the back of my mind Sean I'm still thinking about it. Right now though I need to focus on crating up the bikes and packing up the house yuck and stress!

I'm not sure yet as the rotor and pads are brand new and not broken in. If the master cylinder is to small I may not notice much of a difference but it's a 298mm EBC Vee rotor so larger than stock which should be an improvement. I also used organic Carbon Kevlar brake pads which are softer with...

I got back from a work trip to find the last few bits in the mail for my rear brake so I was able to finish up the bike and take it out for its first shake down run since the entire frame up rebuild. The PCW 1500 makes me giggle. I have succeeded in making something thats totally excessive and...

Great price for the complete package.

Nice!

That looks a lot like Kona Hawaii on the big island. Can't say I've ever seen him. I'm sure the dog is having a ball but this guy should get fined for being an idiot.

I picked up one this year it's like riding a dirt bike or motard it's a fun little bike very easy to throw around its a great little motor but a bit anemic compared to the Max and the seat is very firm.

The GSXR1100 was my arch nemesis when I was drag racing my 85 V-Max in the 90's I went head to head with one every weekend for years. I would always beat his pants off 3/4 of the way down the track and when we crossed the line he was always walking away on the top end.....,I wish I had the Max...
