    covers - help?

    Ok I need a heavy duty cover. Bike is being kept outside as I now have no garage (been outside a couple weeks with a crappy cover that does not repel water) Anyway I am looking at a dowco or a nelson or anything else you guys think. I am also struggling a little with the sizing charts. People...

    sounds question - no issue just wondering

    ok coughing makes sense - but I seems to run real rich. Which brings me to the next question of what does your bike idle at with the choke on? Mine seems really high 5 or so then I can lower it to around 3500 but less than that it is off. Whistle is slight - gets higher pitch when I...

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    yeh I did that a couple hundred miles ago. What I meant before was I did not realize the max struggled when red lined not that it was hard to get there, mine seems to ask for it.

    sounds question - no issue just wondering

    my old magna had real loud pipes so I could never hearr the engine. Since getting the max I want to know everything I can about bikes so I will ask dumb questions from time to time. So when cold my max sometimes "coughs" from the air box like a little gust of air. Does it at low revs when cold...

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    So, max's struggle with red lining, I was under the impression they were pretty bullet proof. Why do they not ut a limited on them then?

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    2nd from last? Meaning 4th or second? Seems like a lot of people would have blown there engines if was only up there for a few seconds huh? I know I have done that by accident

    Sick Vmax - Blown engine?

    That sucks man I am so sorry. I think I may have been close to that when racing and did not know the max has no limiter. What was your tach upto? Mine was up over 11 when I noticed. Got lucky I guess!

    Dumb &^*^(^& things you've done

    lol at the above oil story. Well mine was last week. Only had the max a couple weeks and since I just moved from a house to an apartment I chain the bike up to my front door pillar and cover it - out the way no one would even see it etc. So anyway I leave for work at about 5.30am every morning...

    help dead battery

    Quick question. I am charging right now. Ignition on or off? I am guessing off? When off I get a steady red light when on i get a flashing red. It is a cheap dellran charger so just one indicator light!

    Appreciate all the help. I will look into one of those manuals, and as for the carbs. A tech that works for my friend is doing them for me. I am not even going to mess with em!!!

    steering lock - fall over

    I am pretty sure bike is not lowered! I know me nor the previous owner lowered it anyway! But I was thinking about using the center stand - I just hate putting bikes on there center stands unless you have to but guess that is what I will do. Seems like an awful design. Would be ok if you could...

    maintenance questions

    Some of you have been helping me out so know the story but long story short I just got an 03 max with now 6500 miles on it and it has sat a little over the last few years. So my question is what do you guys recommend maintenance wise I should do? So far I have: - changed the oil and filter -...

    Wheelie poll: Who has brought the front end up?

    Well need to change my original vote from no to a yes. Went out with my girlfriend yesterday and the front wheel could barely stay down. Gunned it one time and came way way up I had to lay off or may have come off the back!

    steering lock - fall over

    When you guys activate your steering lock and turn the wheel all the way to the right does your max feel stable? Mine feels like it could fall over in the wind?
