Had a friend commit suicide while i was at a Muddy Gras event in February... Got to talking with a guy who's trailer he was using, he was a life time bike rider and was giving it all up because his son had wrecked and is a vegetable... Got to thinking that I won't ride my horses because i'm...

Hi everyone . Wondering if more people have ever lifted the vmax by placing the lift under the exhaust and lifting? I do t know where to place the lift b/c the exhaust if lower than the frame! Any advice is appreciated . :worthy:

Hello everyone I'm a new member from Toronto Can. Great site I hope to be a part of this online community forum. 03 Max stock hoping to chg the rubber head gaskets this weekend but can figure out if I should place my lift under the exhaust and lift, is it strong enough ? I don't think so...

Hi Guys, I picked up a 1997 Vmax over christmas. Very fun to ride but hard on fuel. I see the fuel light at 119km It is running very rich. In the morning when I try to start, I apply the choke and it fires once then just cranks. I have to give it alittle throttle then she idles fine. I also...

Hell all, How do I find out how many of my yellow 1994's were produced? I know it is a lower number than most, but I am looking for something specific that I can show off, thinking of some kind of cool badge or custom pin strip around the production numbers, similar to the 05 badging. Thanks,

OK seems simple but no mechanic can tell me . In a nut shell I picked up this 86 real cheap the guy hooked up battery charger and walked away . Well he had the cables backwards. So I figured voltage regulator burned up cause everything works but it won't charge . So I bought one . When I took...

Here's something I saw in my friend's shop, a streetbike w/big HP & a 7.54 1/4 e.t.(I forgot where the youtube post is for that). Lots of electronics for control of the HP. Oh, and the 7.54 second pass had a trap speed of 198 mph. Last time he ran it, the bike ate his rear-mount license plate...

Hi I have bridgestone exedras 525/526 on my max, under acceleration it seems to wheels spin with only a hint of throttle in most gears. The roads around here are far from smooth, and it occurs so often at first I thought it was the clutch slipping is this a common chariteristic of running these?

I purchased my '85 Max in 2005, had 18K miles on it, from a dealer/friend in Michigan. It ran like a raped ape, with the following exception, when pulling hard in low gear, it would jump in/out of low gear at about 8 grand or so under heavy throttle. No problem, a shift fork, couple gears and a...

Well Dave Spec Ops 13 used to always asked about this bike that I dug out of a back yard in Miami a few years back. It had sat in the dirt for almost 5 years with no cover. Well My best friend is riding it around now. It is still far from a show bike but considering how it started its great. I...

So I just brought my Max home. 1989 with around 15k on it. I got it from the 2nd owner who got it from his father in law who bought it new on 4/1/89. The screw for the brake and clutch master cylinder are stripped. I tried an easy out and no luck. The question, can I use a dremel to make a slot...

I'm not going to lie. I don't fully understand the dyno stuff but the guy I bought my max from got these done. Just thought I would share-how are my numbers compared to standard?

It's a sad day today. I sold my V-Max. There's a guy coming to pick it up today. I love the bike, but I live overseas and it just rots in storage and I ride it only once per year. It's my favorite and the best bike I've owned. I suppose I'll own another Max one day. I regret not getting a video...

Hey all, so here is my dilemma.... I'm hearing my 1994 "POP" through the exhaust on the left side when running about 4500 RPM constant. I ended up parking the bike on empty about a month ago, like a *******!! Always top off when you park if you can. So I get her out tonight, and the fuel light...
