    6th gear

    I have had two memorable trips into the triple digits that will stick with me for a long time. First was on my Gen1 shortly after curing my 115mph headshake. I decided to peg the throttle and leave it there as long as I dared. Right about 135 was my limit as that seemed freaky fast on a VMAX...

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    BTW, I got my AVON from Summit Racing. Local dealer wanted $50 more, and to wait two weeks to see if distributor received the tire, then another week or ten days shipping to dealer. Summit had it one on my doorstep $50 bucks less and in just under 48 hours after I hit enter to purchase, and free...

    The Michelin is an excellent rain tire up front, I haven't gotten the AVON wet yet.

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    Here you go. I dare anyone to be able to spot the difference of the 50 vs 55 without two bikes side by side.

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    I have run Michelin tires on every car truck and motorcycle I have ever owned. The road 3 is now the 6 because of updated treads and compounds but I have never subscribed to the idea you must run the same brand front and rear on anything as long as they are within reasonably similar construction...

    Longest lasting rear tire for gen 2?

    The Battlax is the standard OEM from which to compare the others: went through 3 of them in 10,000 miles Dunlop Elite 3 was a great tire for mileage but could easily be spun on dry hot pavement of South Florida. No longer available. Current tire is the AVON Cobra Chrome 200/55R18 and so far I...

    V-Max Speed Wobble (ran it up to 115mph and...)

    Just in case anyone remembers the FURBUR FIX, I have a complete set of, spanner, custom made socket, and many solid copper washers available, if anyone wishes to go that route. I'm NOT advocating this as a solution for anyone, but it did fix my 98 permanently. Don't waste your time and energy...

    Gen 2 --- Asking for tires recommendations

    Hola! New member as of yesterday. I am the original owner of an early 09 I pre-ordered and have had 3 different brands of tires on the rear so far. 2 sets of original Battleaxes were OK but never great. First rear lasted just 3500 miles. Next I installed Michelin Pilot Road3 up front with the...
