    How do you carry a passenger helmet?

    You can make a helmet holder using duct tape put together folded over a couple of appropriately sized bungee cords.

    Vmax Gen2 Cruise control

    I want a proper cruise control for my bike. If you are happy with a throttle lock, great. If some want a proper one, then let them be. Who knows what else can be discovered by Jim and others in their learning venture. If you figure it out Jim, I want one too. Appreciate the efforts.

    wheel weights for 2nd gen.....

    My tire guy has been using those pellets for years now and I have been up to 242 kms/hr and never had an issue concerning handling. I just bought a set of tubes for my DR650 that has them pre-installed. Curious to see how it works.

    Yamaha Letter of Certification for Importation to Canada

    I remember finding a website on Government of Canada or maybe Canada Border Services Agency site that explains the whole process and it says to be diligent about having everything or they will turn you back.

    Mike Kemp halo lights.

    As a happy purchaser of Mike Kemp's Halo light set, I originally thought they are expensive but after installing, they are very professionally made, signals work fantastic and look great and even the bright daytime running lights (DRLs) give off extra needed light to see better and be seen...

    Looking to attach trailer

    I had a trailer for my 2001 VMax and 1886 Venture Royale and rode it from Canada to Guatemala. Hauling a trailer takes away most of the fun of riding. Windy areas make you slow down a lot. Parking is a pain. There is a company in Canada called Third Wheel Trailers that makes a hitch for 2nd...

    Highest mileage on your Vmax.

    I would trust Gen 2 mileages more than Gen 1's. After 100,000, kms or miles, Gen 1's just start over at 0 mileage. I see a lot of extremely low mileage bikes that have aftermarket exhausts, LEDs, boost not working, 2nd gear problems, etc. that I can see are just not low mileage. Just a...

    The bypass is there to bypass a plugged oil filter. "Dirty oil flow is preferable to no oil flow." First year trade school teaches that. Change your oil filter regularly.

    I am also in on purchasing a McCruise Cruise Control for my 2009 VMAX. I have talked with Jim Bitolas and McCruise and Jim volunteered his VMAX to use as a prototype. I arranged with McCruise to talk with Jim and he did. Since then, nothing has happened at McCruise. I have talked with...

    Tuneboy

    IMO as a Journeyman Heavy Equipment Mechanic and Motorcycle Mechanic, I found the contents to be very unprofessional, just a few connectors with a lot of loose wires and non-existent detailed instructions. I tried talking with them .. no answers. I just said I am not doing this. With so many...

    Gen2 turn signals

    Just added Mike Kemp's Halos to my 2009 and it works and looks great. Nice white light for daytime running lights and bright orange for signals. Pretty hard not to seen by anyone in front of you. Directions were easy to follow.
