Little tardy here; however, I'm running Delk's mid-pipe with oval slip-ons. They're holding up well. Especially for the price. Still look and sound great. I even left the baffles installed. Only hiccup was marrying the brackets to the VMax's hangers (different angles). Customer Service was top...

1BadMax had that Akra mid/stock can setup. Twice. Prob not doing this right but I'll paste the link... Post in thread 'CAT delete and more' https://www.vmaxforum.net/threads/cat-delete-and-more.51905/post-523455

Man, that truly sucks and would frustrate the crap out of anyone. Having said that, Tim has gurued my ECU twice, both times with spectacular results. First for a factory refinement, and later for a MAB/catless/Delkevic setup. I'm not dumping on you dude, but I recall the website clearly stated...

Got it, Jerry - thanks. Matter of contorting the fingers enough to acheive a sufficient pinch & pull on that connector. This L3K leaves even less room for my banana hands than the stock tank. Appreciate it buddy!

Hey Mario. Sorry for not seeing your question sooner. The whole setup still looks great. Slightest heat goldening on the section between the mid-pipes and slip-ons. A couple of spots near the foot brake where some fluid made contact (my rearsets required a different light switch). I'll snap a...

Looks like factory accessories. Mine are and those appear identical.

That's interesting. I presumed all Gen 2s were Star bikes until around 2016 when Yammy killed that brand. Yeah, it really was neat finding those in the bottom of that basket. There were even a couple of letters from Star to the original owner thanking him for his order and updating its the...

Gorgeous machine. Love the CF "tins" GLWS!

I was surprised (and tickled) to discover these gems in a parts crate that came with my bike.

You go with rear sets?

Damn! Thems the shiniest scoops I ever seen!

The bike: '09 w/25k miles DD mod kit Rash retainer & bolts Nash flash Fresh clutch fluid Yamalube 10w40 dino oil The issue: Approx 70% of 2nd to 3rd gear shifts take 3-4 tries before clicking in. Seems slightly more likely during spirited acceleration but generally consistent across all speeds...

That would've been a sweet mod. You go back with a stock version?

GLWS, hope you get every cent of it!

Wow, nice find! Jacket was tagged "kerozen" - whatever that is. It definitely looks armored in the arms and shoulders in that pic. And that swingarm is trick af. Hell, whole bike is!

My thought too. There's also a sold one in the seller's profile emblazoned with "Yamaha" and a Vmax patch. My Marketplace feed is always full of ads for helmets, jackets, and gloves LOL.

Not mine but haven't seen one of these before. Never heard of the brand and it appears to be more on the side of fashion rather than function. Nevertheless, at $60, I'd buy it if I didn't already have a closet stuffed with riding gear...

Shut up! You did it? That looks friggin awesome! How do you rate night time visibility (minus the halos)?

In my case it was a preemptive strike. I wasn't detecting slippage yet but with the tune, pipes, and filter I anticipated it being inevitable. Judging from others' experience shared on the forum, the clutch is barely adequate for the bike in stock form but suffers with any hp/torque increases.

Not attempting to hijack, but... Just getting clicks after refueling last weekend. Got a jump via cables and took the old 230 cca Yuasa to Batteries Plus and it showed a full charge and 130 cca. I inquired about a lithium upgrade and after a few pecks on the computer, the associate said they...
