Thanks for the replies guys. Tire pressure is correct. One gentleman asked if it was a high speed or low speed wobble. It's at speeds below 60 mph. Very bad as you slow down. At speeds 15 - 30 mph, if I take my hands off the handlebars, which I shouldn't do I know, it'll shake to the point...

My '01 Max has a bad front end wobble. My bike has 24,000 miles on it and the front tires does need to be replaced. I've owned two V-Max motorcycles, and I know the nature of the front end wobble --it "goes with the turf." However, my current wobble is worse than "normal" and am wondering if...

Trickle charged my battery in my '01 Max today, then fired her up and let her fun for about 30 minutes. I always leave it on the center stand and run it through the gears, just like I was riding it on the road. It's been darn cold in Cincy, and a lot of snow on the ground. So no riding for a...

1/4 mile times: V-max 10.41 @ 137.4 mph; b-king 10.13 @ 139.31 mph high gear 60 - 80 mph: V-max 2.66 seconds; b-king 2.49 seconds price: V-max $17,990; b-king $12,899 ouch!

on the set of Dunlop 491 Elite II tires that I put on my 2001 V-Max. I got 16,000 on these tires! The front tire will go a little further, but I'm going to get them both changed together. The rear tire is slick! No real handling problems with these tires either. I get along fine with these...

The V-Max weighs about 90 lbs. less than the Concour. The gearing is better too, which explains how I was able to pull him 1.5 bikes in 1st gear.

My buddy recently purchased a Kawasaki Concour 14. He challenged me to a race and my '01 Max won. My Max has Stage 1 carb kit, K&N air filter, and Kerker slip ons. From a 10 MPH roll, I pulled 1.5 bikes in 1st, 1/2 bike in 2nd, 1/2 bike in 3rd, and was pulling him in 4th when I shut 'er down...

All kind of neat roads down there to ride (i.e. Devils Triangle, Rt. 180 & 60 in nearby Ga., Cherohala Skyway, etc.) If you need any suggestions, let me know ([email protected]) and I can give you a lot of good roads to ride. Also check out tailofthedragon.com website--neat stuff there...

Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to take it off and see how it runs. May even put it on the dyno.

Have Stage I kit w/K&N air filter and Kerker slip ons. Any advantage to taking top "Y" of air box off? If this is done, how do you secure air filter to continues to be effective?:confused2:

:clapping:My buddy just got a Kawasaki Concour 14 and thought he'd blow off my '01 V-Max. Not! My Max (Stage 1 carb kit, K&N air filter, and Kerker slips ons) pulled him 1-bike length in 1st, 1/2 bike length in 2nd, 1/2 bike in third, and I was pulling him in 4th when I shut 'er down. That'll...
