Hi guys!
Just signed up to the forum. I've got the bike itch again and I think my sportbike days are over- so I'm highly considering a VMax. Just for information's sake- the other bikes I'm considering: Superhawk, Blackbird, Interceptor.
My concern in my wrists and my passenger comfort...
I build motorcycles in my spare time. I bought a 1989 vmax about 4 years ago for my brother, after riding it once I decided he doesn't deserve a bike like that. I rode it for awhile and then laid it down on coming off a ramp on the highway (it's not a sportbike). It sat in the garage for about a...
Took the the bike out for a ride on the intersate for about 13 miles, when i got to the off ramp it would not go into first gear only down to netural and then it would grind a little going into 2nd, but all other gears are fine. I was told it might be a bent shift fork? Any ideas? Thanks.
I bought this 97 Max with 12k miles in September and having been working with this ever since. I tried bleeding the clutch and it didn't effect anything. The pull feels smooth and the release point is where it should be. I can also hold the clutch all day long and it doesn't bleed off so I'm...

There's a local vmax guy that has a stock vmax running high 9s in the VA.MD. location. I meet 1 him time Colonial Beach drag trip. I never race him though.
I'm not racing my vmax at the...
My transmission pops back in neutral in 1st and second gear most of the time at low speed just pulling off at red light or stop. I'm thinking it's time to do the
tranny change ( hmm that don't sound right ;-) ) and go undercut gears.
Cold weather is coming and I'm thinking about doing the...
So I finally got to take my bike to a show to see how it would do against all those custom HD's & I took 1st place in best of show, mind you there was no metric cruiser spot, so it was gonna be a long shot. Also my bike will be in a local magazine Born to Ride.
Hey guys ,
Found my self riding the 2nd gen a lot more this year ... Latest and greatest seems like I road the 2nd gen every where and feel a bit guilty .
My 1st gen is a 07 and awesome machine but did not get much seat time on that machine .
Did you guys hang on to your 1st gen after buying...
Just read a Cycle World article on Honda's 2014 VFR-800 Interceptor, and going through the specs, I saw something that caught my eye.
It has a 43mm non-inverted fork. It says there are no adjustments available for the fork, but then I looked at this image, and I see what looks like (at the bare...
Hey everyone. I recently bought my 1st VMax ever and I have a question. It's a '90 model bike with 2800 actual miles and still has everything bone stock on it. I'm having some carb issues at the moment due to the fact that the bike has been sitting up for quite a while. But that's not my...
Hi guys, like the post title says, does anyone know of an individual or outfit in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that can tune my bike, I have had it for a month or so, figured out a bunch of little issues with it but I need someone experienced to look at it, If I had the time or the patience I'm...
Where as I am a ************* stupid ****, I ordered a 120/90-18 Avon for the front of my bike. The Stock 2.15 rim is too narrow, from what I am finding out. So, I will either have to order a tire that is SMALLER than my friggin piece of **** 110/90 Dunlop, or stick with a piece of **** Dunlop...
getting close. if you haven't made your reservations you had better get to it.
we are holding a few rooms so you have to mention that you are with the vmax group.

OK.. feeling pretty beat up here so take it easy on ME.. took out my clutch using the Lvlhead into the clutch guide and for some reason I cant get the 1st plates back in so the wire fits.. yes I looked at the images and read and re-read... but seems that the gremlins struck and I cant get...
Howdie,
Re: Sean Morleys Mid Cut Seat
I did a lot of research. I wanted to get some miles on the seat to see how it broke in before I offered my two cents review.
Over the last few weeks, I did a few short trips and then three days of all day riding. First I have to say again that Sean is a...
I want to find some rearsets to get my feet where they need to be for the most comfort. On the stock bike, if I have the tips of my toes resting on the pegs, my legs and hips feel like they are in the most natural riding position for me, but obviously, my feet ain't very secure that way...
I figured this might be a pretty good first post and look forward to many more and learning as well.
A little history: I've always had and rode sport bikes owning several in the past. I sold the last one about 2 years ago.
A guy I work with owns a 1985 VMax and I happen to remember and...
