I know this probably belongs in the tire section...oops. I really like the shinko rear but I am not that fond of the front. I try to keep the tires matched because of rubber compound. I hit the corners pretty hard for a vmax(lol I think so anyhow maybe I am slow) so I don't want any surprises...
Ok here it goes,
I went over to Fargo`s place to do some work on the carbs (changed the main jets) and the bike ran great, then after a few days It started popping
like firecrackers on the left side.
At first I thought that it was just that the engine was cold so I let it warm up and still the...
Hey folks!
My new paint is in!
I need some local guys to help me take off the front and rear tire.
I have never jacked up my bike before - and I don't have the proper bolts to use my new-to-me centerstand -
I want to make sure I have an experienced Vmaxer on hand to make sure i don't mess...

The next step I am going to do is learn to work on my bike myself and not have to rely on mechanics who don't see...

We got Garretts letter today and were totally awestruck by the generosity of all the Brownie Runners!!
Thank You so much!!!
I know you guys really...
....never wave, according to a post on the BKing board. Now, I tried to explain to them that you're all a good sort, but riding a Max, you just can't let go with one hand cause of the wobble. :rofl_200:
Personally, I blame m-cman. Or Dannymax.
What size gauge fits in the stock tach position? is it 2 1/16? Also how is the tach removed from the housing ...is it just screwed in or is it more involved to get out?

Well..............We made it this far!!:thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:
Found this info on another board, and thought it was interesting. Very detailed data from a regular guy taking his '08 Hayabusa to the strip. He's got lots of mods, but hasn't gotten into the engine yet. Bike is still making only a little over 180 hp at the wheel. Shown below is his most...
