advice

Bought a Vmax last week and it has a UFO 4-2 exhaust on it. It is LOUD! Crazy LOUD! And that's with the smaller ends, can't imagine it with the bigger outlet end caps. Anyway, I need to quiet it down or sell it. Two questions: Anyway to tone it down? How much is it worth, if I go...

Long story short: Bike has been stored wet for the last year (seafoam and StaBil with fresh gas). When started, the bike starts and will idle on the choke as long as I keep the RPM above about 1500. Below that, it stalls out. Regardless of the choke setting or RPM if I so much as touch the...

Hey all. I am new to forum. I am just about to buy my first Vmax. Pretty stoked about it. As I am looking around, I am not sure about what mileage limits I should be shooting for. I know for most of you this is probably the highest on the 'newbie' question scale.. I wouldnt know who else to ask...

Heya guys! So I'm basically set on a handful of mods, but there is one that I'm looking at as more of a mandatory challenge... Prereq: I have Vgas carb set up (from 2003 if that matters) I want to either fab the stock scoops to function as ram air or create some sort of mold (I suppose I...

I,m trying to get all my facts straight before tearing into my engine this winter. I've done a lot research on this topic and have Damon's video on engine rebuilding. I'm wondering if this 2nd gear issue was resolved in later year 1st gen maxes. If so, would buying later year parts be any...

1) What is a good 18 inch rear rim? I want to run a 180 without notching the swingarm, is that possible with an 18 inch rim? I was considering the 17 inch Kosmans but I think the 18 not only looks better, but will help with fuel economy and lower RPMs. The Carrs are amazing looking and quality...

So before I ask for advice, I will talk about myself a bit I suppose xP I am a college Junior and I used to ride an 07 CBR 600rr, I sold it awhile back to pay the lady friend her portion of the money towards it back (she's pretty cool for helping, right?) and now I'm making the move to purchase...

Ok, I’m looking to buy a VMAX. Test rode one a couple of months ago and the means to purchase have finally arrived. Loved it, best bike I have ever ridden. So, a few questions: Is there any general information I should be aware of before I walk into a dealership? I am going to finance and do...

I'm trying to nurse my tires until this winter when I plan to change to radials I'm thinking I'm going to do the Kosman mod to my rear. The dilemma I'm faced with is my tires are not going to last, So what I'm thinking is I will buy a new radial front and a cheap bia-ply rear to get my by for...

Hi, I have decided to take my 1982 Vmax off the road for a month to do a lot of little stuff to it. My main concern that I have is setting my float levels. The bike was in storage for years unrun before I got it, and although its going great, there is something not quiet right in the carby...

Okay VMax gurus I need you help. My wife and I put on 150 miles two up this afternoon, which I know isn’t notable for many of you guys; but it’s the most we have done thus far. This is my first season with the bike after all. My little adventure included some of Wisconsin’s “might be...

Took my new to me 2003 out for a short jaunt(5 miles) today. The purpose was mainly to get the bike from interim storage to my garage.; but it did raise a couple questions. #1 It started right up but there was a lot of snap, crackle, pop(no flames) and didn't want to idle. Once it got warmed...
