I was looking around at other maxes and saw some with aluminum scoop inserts which looked cool. Chrome aluminum kind of engine guard things and also radiator covers. All look really cool. Where is the best place for these kind of extras?

I always thought 93 was better for a vmax? Ill get some more sea foam when I get my bike back then also!

I always use shell v power (93) Even shell has 10% I think. No choice here either.

Well rode the max to work today. Odd smell almost burning rubber coming from it? Not sure, not a strong smell but did not even think it was the bike until I got to work and could smell it again. Havent started it since Friday - does not sound like long but normally gets ridden daily so not...

Yeh not gonna worry about it. Like I said it sounds good!!!

I printed out a size chart. Gonna go have a look in a sec and check it all. Also I am going to go for an L. It says medium as max is in the sport bike class but I am going for a large anyway as I have a sissy bar!

my question is I guess there were a lot of gas stations? I wanna go some long rides but scared I may not find a gas station every 100 miles or so

well I now know that it whistles in every gear up to 3600-3700 revs then dies out. I am really surprised we seem like the only 2 to notice this??? Also I looked and my bike still has the Y above the air intake. No clue on a jet kit but it is going in for a carb rebuild next week so I will get...

windshield no - well yes but only for long trips so off. Sissy bar though yes which is why I am stuck on what size to order. Do not wanna get it wrong as I got my jacket the wrong size now gotta wait for the refund then re order blar blar. It asks me for the rotor size in mm. Like 5mm 8mm 10mm?

Hey what size rortors do we have on our max's. I am about to get a disk lock and need the size. Also about to order a dowco weather all and it says to get a medium but I am thinking a large size. Anyone have experience? Thanks,

I need a more heavy duty one than that though. Also I read up a little and water repellent does not mean water resistant

Lemme know if you see one for this. I paid 5200 for an 03 with 6200 miles. I have been told I got a killer deal, guess not. Anyway like many have said. Mine did sit for a while. Runs good but I need to put a few $$$ into it for a carb job etc.

Interesting. Personally I actually love the sound of the whistle, unless it is a bad thing. Like I said it sounds like a turbo or something. I have heard it on cars before. I asked a friend about it who does not have experience with vmax's but does work at yam and he thought it was normal. Also...

By popping out in second gear you mean slipping out?

hmmm mine is about 4000 full and about 3000 half or nothing I guess. Need my carbs synched so that screws it up a little as I cannot really put the choke on a little! Also what do you mean the y has been removed? also how can I tell if mine has been removed? I do not think I have a jet kit or...

Ok my max has a little wear and tear and some seems an easy fix - no rust or anything. My scoops and my sissy bar grab rail are the first things and most noticable to me. I can prob get some pics on here but they have a really bad case of I guess oxidization. Seems to be under the lacquer. A...

No one has told me my bike whistling yet is normal? I have been told it is. Not a loud whistle but gets higher pitched as I accelerate - that something to do with vboost? Actually sounds awesome, friends say it sounds like a supercharged car lol. Also exhaust pop - I get it very very rarely but...

Shotgun??? Background here mate - Just got the bike a month ago, got it from a friend from work who put about 300-500 miles on it driving to work in a year of him having it. Before that I think it sat for 6 months at a dealership so... needless to say I am trying to give it some TLC. I did all...

I just noticed a few mins ago that when I try and move my bike while in first turned off it is really hard to do so - when holding in the clutch obviously. Then when I tun it on after doing this it will jump forward a little. When on and idling it is as easy as neutral to move around, not sure...
