Just what I was thinking. Bike has been stationary for several days on a paddock stand and I envisioned the oil all "settled" in the bottom.

Yep, I was correct...

The original purchaser opted for carbon fiber fenders, airbox lid, and side covers. However, they're in need of some TLC. I read something pretty kooky online and wondered if anyone on here has tried it... Lemon Pledge is the best product to clean/coat CF.

For some reason I'm second-guessing my habit of warming the engine before draining the oil. Is it really that important?

I believe those hold little plastic ties that keep the control cables in place. I'll look as soon as I get a chance unless somebody chimes in before that.

Thanks for reminding to update. I used the factory, cat, cans, and heat shields. Only had to order a couple of exhaust gaskets for the rear down pipes. Fortunately, partzilla had them in stock. Also purchased the stock-pipe ECU flash and K&N filter from the Guru. Extremely pleased with the...

Nice job on that tach-light bulge. Looks like it came that way!

Not mine and I'm already sporting a stock exhaust but this price is outstanding! 100 bucks for 8k mile cat and cans. https://greenville.craigslist.org/mpo/d/greer-gen-vmax-exhaust/7290804421.html

2 sets (standard and metric) Yes that would be nice LOL

Oh yeah okay. I'll have to add one to the toolbox then. I read universal and this came to mind...

This may be a stupid question but by universal, are you talking about those sockets with the little push-in pin things?

LOL love the "not selling it" disclaimer. Thanks. Hope I don't have to deal with the plugs for a while. Watched a how-to video and two mechs (who knew what they were doing) had their hands full. What a complete PITA that's going to be.

Started my '09 four times over the course of a day ride. It took longer to fire up with each successive start. To the point that I had that "uh-oh" feeling for a split second during the last start. Stock cat and cans. Airbox mod and K&N. Gurued ECU. Runs strong and idles great. I keep the...

I'll take it! Just left you a voicemail.

I have an '09 and was wondering if there's a way to check whether the ground resistance and oil pump recalls were addressed (besides taking to a yammy dealer).

Who else magnified the fist pic?

I always owe and always write a check. Taking a lesson from your experience this year though and paying online. Glad I read this before mailing the check.

I didn't think you were full of it. I just couldn't find that one LOL. The one I bought looks the same just in 🍊 BTW, is the bike in your pics a 2nd gen VMax? Looks like some wild chrome stuff happening under the swingarm there.

Well I couldn't find one for $50 LOL But I ordered one for $80 plus $20 shipping. I think it'll be a well-spent hundred.

Agreed.
