    Picking up my GenII

    According to the TSB you should see a punch mark by the VIN if the oil pump recall has been done. Congrats on your Gen2. Nice find!

    240 Wheel Clearance Question

    Thanks alot Sean. Finally found an old thread that addressed the same question. Same answer back then too, of course. I'd actually written off the fat tire mod due to having to pop the pumpkin every tire swap. That changed recently when a pal parked right next to me. His VRod sporting a 240...

    240 Wheel Clearance Question

    Appreciate it bud. There's my first conversion hiccup and I've not even started yet LOL. No really digging on the tape fix. Wondering if that whiz-kid nephew of mine can whoop one up on his 3D printer 🤔 If OEM 240 kit covers exist, I'd welcome photos (permitted they can be shoehorned out between...

    240 Wheel Clearance Question

    I just watched a video that seemed to imply the swingarm inspection hole cover plate can't be used in conjunction with the 240 wheel kit. Surely that's not correct. Can one of you fat-tire guys confirm? It is possible I'm misunderstanding what he's saying.

    GLWS Jesse. Wish those 240s were a little less aggravating to get off/on. They definitely look badass.

    2nd Gen VMAX 2009 Vmax 1700

    Wow, what a beauty! Is that Magical Racing's seat cowl and belly pan? They seem to match the Star/Yammy pieces perfectly.

    Front tire life.

    Indeed you did LOL - sorry about that. Mine is currently perched on a pair of Pitbulls waiting for me to pull the wheels off to get those Shinkos mounted. Only thing I can do now is cross my fingers. Glad you already ruled out bearing issues though. Although, while it's on the stands, I'm...

    Front tire life.

    Man I've got a set of Shinkos sitting next to my scoot right now. Sure hope I have better luck than you did with yours. I had funky wear issues with Metzeler too. Don't know if the pattern is what you experienced but here's my post with pics and member theories...

    Paddock Stand

    +1 for the Pitbull. I recently picked up a 2nd one for the front and discovered they redesigned the handle release mechanism. They're even better than before.

    Gen 2 Pressurized Fork Oil?

    I used a Seal Saver on my right fork with front suspended on a Pitbull stand. Oil still shot out while I worked the tool around as fast as I possibly could (I'm not so sure that thing isn't quackadoodle garbage).

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    Glad to. First, the XOvals come with a composite strap. When the strap is wrapped around the can and the tabs snapped together at the top, the orientation is fixed and final because the material does not allow for any amount of twist (it cracks). Since the cans are angled outward away from the...

    EXHAUST mid pipe / muffler mix and match

    I'm also running Delkevic mid-pipes and slip-ons. So far it's been a surprisingly high quality product for the affordable price. The customer service was very responsive too. Bit of advice though... In my opinion, the XOval slip-ons aren't well suited for Gen 2s. Specifically, the configuration...

    Gen 2 Signal Swap Options

    Reckon many already know but I learned (no surprise) the Gen 2's stalk base shares the same design as certain YZFs, MTs, and FZs. I bought a set of affordable LEDs from Amazon that left VMax off the application list. They already had the plugs on the ends so no splicing required. Although the...

    You'd think, right? Not a speck of corrosion anywhere else on the bike.
