Something to consider when the Mod Monkey yells into your ear: Beware loud-mouthed guys: Monkeys with smaller testicles roar the loudest to make up for their shortcomings when attracting females Howler monkeys are among the loudest terrestrial animals on the planet Males with larger...

Hello to everyone I've all parts to unlock my 100hp vmax but I have a question. Japanese mufflers have smaller holes(21mm) so air flow is lower(I think so). Is there any way to make these mufflers full version mufflers? Or only way is buying 145hp mufflers? This is my exhaust...

This morning I did the DD with the larger retainer and change the oil with Amsoil 20W-50 Synthetic (I was using Yamalube) Purolator PSL14610 Synthetic Spin-On Oil Filter. I noticed there was no gasket when removed the clutch cover (glad I ordered one!). I also replaced the final gear oil for...

I saw a similar frame mod on the internet and decided to give it a go. Forgive the crappy welds, I had a buddy clean them up before painting the frame. I haven't gotten the bike running yet so I can't say if it does anything but it was a pretty easy thing to do if you have that part of the...

I know the comparison in the bikes is like comparing a Moose to an Eagle however Im going to ask this question anyway. :ummm: Has anyone ever attempted or successfully done an exhaust mod on a Gen 1 Max that resembles the Suzuki RG Gamma? Both are 4 cylinder bikes and even though the Gamma is...

Hello All! I'm new here and just ordered my first VMAX, can't wait! I intend on breaking the bike in for 500-1000 miles stock, then upgrading the exhaust, flash, and maybe air intake. I'm looking for some advise on these mods. I love the look of Vance&Hines but that's only 09-10, I love the...

So my horn went out and I googled best motorcycle horn and picked a pair that should be loud. Came up with what I thought was a cool idea to mount em. But when I stood back to admire my work I think I wasted my Saturday.

1) What is a good 18 inch rear rim? I want to run a 180 without notching the swingarm, is that possible with an 18 inch rim? I was considering the 17 inch Kosmans but I think the 18 not only looks better, but will help with fuel economy and lower RPMs. The Carrs are amazing looking and quality...

Some of my riding buddies told me that they could not see my brake lights when I applied them. So I decided to mod the stock lights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnFLV_HNlL4&list=UU-dcY8hJEwhCv6drEdZNC-g&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Y241jm9Cs&list=UU-dcY8hJEwhCv6drEdZNC-g

I know this is floating around somewhere but here it is again. The more I work on the bike the more I realize all VMAX owners need to have a little redneck background. 11/2 deck gas filler $ 28, West Marine 11/2 furnco coupler rubber $3.88, Lowes Works like a champ and fits just under...

Anyone have issues burning out coils if the bike sits in the rain (or you're washing the bike). I had a set of used R6 coils, and I'm down to two now, as the other two started to arc after it sat in some heavy-ish rain. Not sure if it's the water that's making them go bad or just coincidence.

Hey guys, just wanted to share something with ya'll... I had the notorious starting problems- So I went the usual route of replacing the battery with the oddysey 170cca, then I soldered the R/R wires, then the "crimp”, which I removed and re-soldered those wires, and various other connections...

This post started on another page, I am moving it here since it is different. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?p=364623#post364623 Short story, my '07 Max was hit in a lot and the offender fled the scene. :( After browsing the forum pages on how to replace the ugly *** Mickey Mouse...

hi guys i d like to uprgrade my oil system, can someone tell me what s the difference between morley's hd oiling cure and pcw pro oiler mod? which the best if there's a "best" mod ? thanks for your help philippe

I see a lot of raving about the Max Gasser and a slew of others using the other seat options like the Corbin, Sportmax, Morley's Muscle etc. I really don't have any interest in the first 2 due to the layouts. I really like the idea of a reformed/remade stock seat. I've had the chance to...

The best mod I have ever done to my bike was my cell phone charger/holder. I can use the GPS, the digital speedo, snap pictures or take video, charge my phone, listen to my music and text all while I ride! I know alot of people will list performance mods or maybe a set mod. But...

I am contemplating the CBR tail light mod on my 85 max. I was wondering who has this mod on their bike and what color did you use the smoked or clear lens and why. Does the color of your bike make the smoked or clear look better on your bike. :ummm: Mine is red (the faster one :biglaugh: LOL)...

Wanted to do the COPS Mod. Got the COPs and the harness to mod but was wondering how folks are dealing the the rubber plug wire snubber that holds the plug wire firm. The COPs require a bigger hole. thought about just cutting it out but don't want to do trial and error on the only 4 I have...

Guys, Please don't hate me. I'm pretty good at searching things out and that's why I don't post so much - I usually just lurk. But, my clutch is going out and I've accumulated parts to replace it. But, I've seen a few references here on the DD mod which is something I'd like to include in...

So I think I might try this as an option. I believe it's an FZ1 tank that's been cut up more than a little bit. I have a spare faux tank cover, and I'm thinking that I might have a local shop cut the bottom out of an FZ1 tank (which they have) and welding it to my extra faux tank. This would...
