So, good news, someone already got rid of the cable and I'm betting the servo too, I'm now chomping at the bit to put those delete pipes on, to hear the new sound, but I don't want to send my ECU out till we get a few days of cold and ****** weather, can I slap those pipes on and ride it till...

I'm not having much luck either :) Looking for the same one. Joe

What was the factory recommended oil? I'm fine with using that, but I can't seem to find anything on it. I'd really like to go synthetic since I'm sure that's going to lead to smoother shifting and longer engine life, but if that's not what they say to put it, I'll most likely follow what they...

Hey all, just wanted to say thanks for the advice on the oil pump, just had the local dealer replace it yesterday since it indeed had not been done, so far loving this thing. It still has the cat, so that's the next step, remove that and get the ECU re-flashed, but I'm just waiting till there...

I did a random search and saw Amsoil has one listed that's supposed to be compatible, I use Amsoil in my cars exclusively, so I had been mulling that over too. Joe

Being a Gen 1 rider and loving Rotella, I was thinking I'd use it in the gen2, is there any reason not to? Should I go synthetic? I would think with this new a machine, that should be ok, but I wanted to ask for experiences here. I just got the recall done for the oil pump (Just got the bike...

Man, if you find it let me know what you want for it, very interested. Joe

That's what I thought. I have the pipes, and I'm taking it in for the oil pump recall as soon as the dealer calls me. There is some strange servo thing according to the one PDF I saw, that's the only thing stopping me from pulling that damn thing off right now, Do I just disconnect that...

Bueller? Anyone? Is this thing on? ;) Joe

I want one of these, where can I buy one?

So I just got the new to me 2009 Vmax, and I've only ridden it the distance from Philly to Harrisburg so far, that was her voyage to her forever home. :) I LOVE the bike, it's had the Moore Mafia flash to the ECU, and Dominator slip ons, but they left the CAT. The guy I bought it from is...

She is home safe and all covered up now. A little while till winter here in PA so plenty of time to keep riding. Joe

Wow, only a few miles in and, wow.

It has been flashed, not sure on the recalls, I suppose I can look that up by VIN once she's here, correct? Joe

Well, I'm finally taking the plunge. I've had a gen one (2 of them, actually) since 1996, bought my first one in 1996, 1985 vmax ended up selling her in 2003, then bought my second gen 1 in 2013. Tomorrow I pick up a 2009 with a little over 4000 miles logged on her. Can't wait to feel how she...

I was afraid of that, it was listed as a take off from a max, and the parts all look the same, but maybe it's not. Well, I've got them on now, and filled with brake fluid, now all that's left is a lot of swearing to get them bled. I hate bleeding brakes. Joe

Hey all, quick question, I picked up a set of braided steel lines that were used on Ebay, they supposedly came off a max. I have a 1985, so I've got the old brakes and rotors, I just bought the adapters to allow me to fit the bigger rotors and the next gen dual piston calipers, and I've got it...

Yes, I've heard that, and it might come to that. My next step is to put the cops on the bike I got a while back, since there is no reason not to, and see if that helps. Joe

I took the carbs off, and thoroughly cleaned the idle circuit. The front left (as you are sitting on the bike) fuel/air ratio screw wouldn't come the whole way out of the carb, it came loose to where I could feel it was backed out the whole way, but it wouldn't pop out of the hole. I blew...

So, I got the "lets make this thing run right finally" bug after tearing apart the carbs on an xs650 special that my daughters boyfriend just got, and cleaning them. I have had a carb/cyl that hasn't been quite right since I got the bike 5 years ago, and it's just gotten worse. I just did the...
