finally

I have been a member for a few months now,and finally got my new to me 1985 vmax.I absolutely love the bike,even more than I thought I would.Since it is a 85 there is a few issues that need fixing.I live in Ontario,and was wondering if there are any good vmax mechanics in the area,that would...

Thanks for waiting patiently. The rain hasn't stopped these past four days - and I couldn't get any pics in natural sun light - where the paint actually pops :) but these give you guys a general idea :) I am in love with this thing. It's what I envisioned it to be. (That's Morleys paint &...

More... Moved to the public eye... Pretty neat... I do see some issues with it though. I wish they would have given specs. Should make for a good sport tourer. "4gasem" Chris

Ok so i'm all done, got it cleaned up pretty good and most of the stuff i thought needed to be done..and i've rode it a few times! I would like to really thank all of you who helped me get through my first bike project, when i buy another MAX...and i WILL this will be where i call home! for my...

The video from our Orteg ride a couple weeks ago is finally edited!Took long enough but its here now.Enjoy!:punk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1STbAKdJqvM

engine called it quits on me a couple months back and after talking with Sean he hooked me up:punk: with a replacement and so finally yesterday i finished getting her back together and seems to be running great:clapping:here's a clip with the new motor.By the way thanks again to Sean and the...

I think this will work: http://www.drillspot.com/products/540471/harvel_clear_447-010l_cap can someone confirm (bike is at the shop) that the harlan light is a 1" OD? price isnt' bad with free shipping, not great tho. there are others that are lik $7 but they want $10 to ship it. speaking...

I have decided to stop pursuing the small issue with my bike. For those who have not followed it I was still experiencing a small stumble from 4-6k rpms. It only happened when I was in too low of a gear and floored the bike. I tried shimming, adjustable needles, diff't main jets and in the...

was out riding today, and found a long straight stretch, had the t-boost set on 3k, put my head down on the gauges and hit it wide open, speed shifting, holy ****, i was pinned down, damn what a feeling, first time since i have had it that i need to get rid of it, naah, just aint going to do...

I pick it up tomorrow, I cant wait.:eusa_dance:

February!! and still no bike. How did any of you guys manage the wait without going nuts. If I dint have such an amount dropped on this already I think I would be different or prolly Riding a Raider buy now. :bang head: It would be nice if Yamaha did some lttle things throughout the wait to...

If all goes well, Monday evening there will be a 88 V Max in my garage! It has a Kirker pipe, Orange paint (looks great) and 22,000 Miles. Thing taht amazes me is how many people don't want to really sell the bike they are advertising. I must of sent 15 emails out and got 5 replies

Got to ride yesterday with another VMax... In the last (almost) year of owning mine, I had never even gotten close to another on the road, let alone spent time riding with one... I gotta admit, I'm very 'impressed with them VMax's'... seems they are ALL pretty damned fast! Most of my 'crew'...

No..it's not what you think, so get your mind out of the gutter!! LOL! Well, after 2 1/2 years of ownership of this current bike, (it was in dry storage for 2 years) I broke down and washed the filthy pig for the first time since I've owned it. :clapping:Needless to say, I think it turned out...

At 32,000 miles I finally roasted my clutch last night after 9 passes at the strip. Time to do the double D. I've got the extra spring and plate, need the rest of the friction plates. Who has the best price on Yamaha friction plates. Thanks, Rusty

This afternoon I recieved a phone call from the Fairbanks North Star Borough, about the two job interviews I went on last week. They offered me both jobs. I chose the operators job, cause my back is still only about 75-80%, besides it pays hella good and its a 4-10 hour shifts a week. so get...

Meh... OK maybe not!! :eusa_dance:

Well I installed the Jardines on my '04 Max. I have to say I'm impressed with them! Nice build quality and a good sound when you get on the throttle. And at idle they are not loud at all which is great for those early morning starts and letting it warm up. Don't need the neighbors calling out...

It took my tuner more than 2 weeks because of the rain we have had in Texas but I finally got it back. My Max has 1695 miles and the only mod is the HMF exhaust. It put down 116.9 un-corrected to the rear tire on very crappy air. I'm going to get it re-dyno'd in the fall with SAE corrected...

Ever since reading about the V-max in it's inception I have been in awe. What a cool thing....a bike frame with one purpose: a munting point for a fire-breathing engine. I finally caved. At 2PM yesterday I decided the time had come. I called five dealers. I got the best price, and I drove a...
