    Hi, Sorry, I know this question might've been asked a lot. But searching this forum throws me everywhere. I'm just looking for an easy troubleshooting checklist to follow for my 1992 Vmax.

    Ventura's for sale… (if the wrong name the Vmax style touring bike)

    I believe thats the correct name for them. The touring bikes that have a few similar parts to v max's I believe? Anyway if so…. I have a customer of mine with an 83 and an 84. Both have trans issues… One has 2nd but it's "weak" the other is missing 4th and 5th. He is selling the pair for...

    May be time to quiet the bike down a bit.

    So I have a Kerker exhaust on the bike and I absolutely love it! The sound is awesome and it's loud! Problem is my dad REALLY dislikes how loud it is and some of my neighbors aren't too fond of it either. So are there any mufflers that keep that same lovely sound and just tone it down...

    Race bikes vs grudge bikes, the day has come when a street bike is faster.

    I dont really follow the race scene that much anymore. The street scene is just so much more interesting and fun to watch. I stopped by my buddys shop and he has been building another bike to race. His last bike was a bad ***.... 7.0's @202 mph with him on it and National Champ Rob Budgell ran a...

    pretty cool bike..

    Bike doesn't run hot, but I do.

    I put Engine Ice in my cooling system to replace regular anti freeze coolant. Seems to have not made a bit of difference. Claim is 10 to 15 degrees cooler. Anyone have a success story about how to keep ones *** cooler?

    and got a scare!!! Let me relate this story of my best friend and his '91 1100 Gixxer. About 21 years back, it was a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon. My friend Gary was washing and detailing his bike. Well, as he was drying it off, he was on the right side of the bike, when it slowly...

    Bike sprocket penetrates car windshield

    Um, shouldn't this be an easy one to find the bike it came off of? http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/Motorcycle-Part-Slams-Into-Windshield-Nearly-Hits-Driver-on-Highway-101-303160211.html Unless it fell out of a pickup truck carrying a bunch of stuff, and a bike basket case.
