    I wonder if we'll ever see this at Thunder.

    Now this is a unique ride.. Similar to why I like the vmax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKQ5f8tvRxY

    Stock Center Stand replacement??

    I think the main issue is that large bolt and bolt stand, that's part of the resonator can from the stock exhaust. I've been under the bike twice, trying to replace the center stand, with a non-broken one. I finally got one of the bolts loose, only to find out that it will not slide out, because...

    Stock Center Stand replacement??

    Has anyone removed their stock center stand with the stock pipes in place, or do you have to move the pipes to get it off?

    Stock Center Stand replacement??

    Anyone know of an easy way to replace the stock center stand, without dropping the muffler?? Looks like this bolt and stand-off is stopping the right side bolt from coming out..

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Tried to change out my broken center stand, only to find out after wrenching for about 2 hours, trying to get one nut loose, found out that I cannot remove that bolt with the muffler bolt clamp sitting so close. It will not slide out.. So,, unless you're ready to drop the muffler out the way -...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Thanks Steve.. I'm going to try and replace my botched up center stand with the bolt sticking out (seen in the background of last pic), but getting those lock nuts loose, with the muffler resonator box in place is going to be a PITA.. I have a replacement center stand from 2017 Thunder. Also...

    Runs bad once hot

    Now that you've got your buddy's bike running right, you have to convince him to let you ride it every weekend.. Before you know it, you'll be picking one up for yourself.. lol!! That V-Max venom, lasts a long time after you've been bitten. It got me when I was 17 and it stayed in my...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Just remounted my rear wheel after wanting to freshen up my old looking cracked up paint on my final drive and swing arm. Old cracked up paint: hard to see but not only did the plastic ring had chipped paint, but there were age cracks, completely covering the final drive unit. Cleaned, then...

    Winter Project nearing completion.

    OH DAMN man!!.. That work was looking sweet.. It still is, but not you have to put MORE time into it.. That sucks big time.. Man I hope you can get some resolution to who did this. Going by what you found with the red scratches and the witness, chances are someone was not paying attention...

    Starting problem

    As SDT354 mentioned,, that flywheel is a pretty tough piece of hardware. You might want to post some images before making any purchases. Just to make sure its something that must be replaced.. Also note: any mods to the Regulator / Rectifier (R&R) does not happen under the stator cover. If...

    Just here to vent

    I just looked up the size comparison of the European hornet vs the Asian giant hornet (aka Japanese Giant hornet) My lord,, what,, are we heading back to the Cretaceous period?? from Google search: Due to this coloration and abdomen pattern, V. crabro is often mistaken for the Asian giant...

    Just here to vent

    Have you guys ever seen a Japanese Giant Hornet in person? Well I have.. And it was NOT in Japan.. Right here in NJ. My RC Flyers and I were cooing it at the flying field when we heard a ruckus in the tree above. Suddenly the small mass fell out in front of us. It was a Japanese Giant...

    Runs bad once hot

    OK, so now the question is, now that you've found some blockage and cleared it, is it still doing the same thing as before the blockage was found? I asked this because I had a issue were my pulser pickup coil was starting to fail. All 4 plugs were light tan in color. As per the plug reading...

    Needing 86 Max Windscreen/Windshield

    Not looking to get rid of it, but I tried this Chinese one from ebay. Didn't cost too much either,, around $50.00 plus shipping. The one I picked up was labeled as Maroon in color. looks more like a smokey brown than a Maroon - but that's just me, lol. Since the box it came in was flatter...

    Engine paint touch up- Who has done it?

    Looks great!! After I painted my engine, tires, calipers, and some touching up on some areas around the frame, I'm contemplating, stripping off some old cracked up paint that's on my final drive and swing arm, and spraying it with some silver or black. I noticed the paint was cracked when I...

    AGM Battery

    Just for the sake of being thorough, (if you have not done so already), The ground to your R/R is connected through the frame. Some guys on this forum suggested to check for corrosion, since it builds up on that spot. While inspecting mine, because of a low read-out while charging, sure enough...
