dropping

Hi all, I've tried lots of things listed in these great forums related to this problem I'm having... but still some issues :bang head: The bike runs perfect for the first 5 mins of the day... then when it's warmed up it starts backfiring/misfiring. The exhaust note also changes - sounds...

I saw this along with alot of others that show the New Vmax must be really coming down in price. I copied it but not sure if it will post. Here it is: http://m.cycletrader.com/listing/2014-Yamaha-VMAX-110516847

Was at the shop getting a sticker for my gen 1 and the owner tells me that Yamaha is offering a rebate and a drop in price due to poor sales so a new gen 2 would cost just under $17, 000. Cheaper still with a trade in! So tempting!

Hey all, I put on one of the COO pressure gauges earlier this year. The bike was running between 8-9 psi per 1000 rpm. Today, went for a ride and noticed was only getting between 6-7 per 1000. Is this something to worry about? It was hot as hell here today, above 100, and I was riding around in...

At start up idle is perfect...after about 30 min if I'm at a light idle drops down to 900 or so which also causes voltage meter to drop from 14 to 13ish. Any solutions?:ummm:

hey guys i have a quick question i would like to drop my front end a little by just sliding the forks up the trees a 1" or so. i loosened the pinch bolts on the clamps and it doesn't want to seem to slide do i have to remove the air valve and equalizing tube to do so or is there a different...

I dropped my 2007 down 1-1/2" on the fork tubes. WOW! What a difference in handling. I prefer it big time. The only problem is that now the clutch and brake lines are in a permanently bowed position and sitting against the radiator, where they will surely rub the paint off of the radiatior...
