Here's what I did to be able to put my legs in two different positions. They serve the purpose but have never really used them. They snap up and out of the way when not used. They would be good for the passenger though on a longer trip. Kissing the globe is OK, BUT I don't want to see any...

A weak battery will make the bike do all kinds of weird things. Go for a new battery first and if it still runs rough, without going into it too deep, let it idle and see if one cylinder is cooler than the others. If so, try shooting some carb cleaner in it a few times while it's running...

In my opinion, it's the only way to go and be comfortable on the Max. Before I made mine, I felt like a pretzel with no room for my legs. For me, they have absolutely no drawback when it comes to quick shifting or running the curves. It's all in what you like and what you're used to. Took me...

$100 would be a fair price to pay for the look if you really liked it. As far as the sound goes, it's not much different as drilling the 1/2" holes and spacing the original covers back on.

Not sure how the programing is these days but for making one piece on a CNC machine it would cost mucho bucks, especially a complicated design.

It's so easy a caveman can do it, except mine must have gotten tired. LOL

I just might bring the wife's dog along to help convince them. LOL

Many may already be aware that Sylvania has a variety of bulbs available to replace the 1157's. 2357LL (long lasting) is about 25% brighter when activating brakes and same as 1157 as far as running lights go.

You guys better not leave the show in NY without a firm commitment by Yama. Take prisoners if you have to.:th_biggun:

Probably the biggest problem the Max has is a small following. A business is all about the bottom line and Yamaha isn't quite sure there will be one (+) for the Max. Look at the R1, bet they sell 30 or more for each Max they sell and the more volume of one product, the cheaper they can produce...

Simple cure Mark. Just pull one of the plug wires and when you're ready for more, run on all 4's. :rocket bike:

I'm still hoping we'll see the new M before the end of the year. As long as it has 200+ hp at the rear, weighs around 500 lbs, is updated with the latest brakes and electronics, I'll buy one. The body & style can be changed to suit. The EFI and ABS, PLUS a gear indicator sound good. I've...

These lights can be bought for around $65 each and the owner has to figure a way to install them. I gave Buster some info on them a while back, perhaps he still has it. Think I also saw them on eBay. Check "motorcycles, headlights". Found this on eBay in chrome: #140073936134 for $70

Nothing wrong with starting the Max, let it idle at 1200rpm for a minute or two while getting it out of the garage and then driving it normally down the road at 50-55mph while still cold. This will NOT adversely effect the motor as long as you don't power it up and see what she's got before...

I bought a smaller set (bullet shaped) from JC Whitney two years ago and am well satisfied with their brightness and size. They come in smooth and ball-milled chrome. It's not how big your signal lights are but how bright and these will get you noticed.

Don't know the guy.:confused2: Doubt if he ever ran a Bridgeport.

If this was really a critical torque setting, I would suggest using a torque wrench. If you have a 12" adjustable, give it one good yank and you're done.

Lew, looks like you'll have to ask your better half for an increase in allowance and buy yourself a CNC mill with auto tool loader. That hand cranking and doing only a few parts at a time isn't worth it unless you make it for yourself.

Ricepaddy ran into some kind of trouble with eBay when they gave a or (?) customer a raw deal and wouldn't make it good. Read somewhere that they are rated as "not recommended". Don't know why they would go underground and not show their wares? They had some unusual stuff. Bought my...
