Hey brain trust, Same symptoms I've seen MANY times on the boards: can't idle below 1500 rpm without stalling, abrupt loss of power, left sided pops and less engine noise. I refuse to go back to the dealership and lose $500 and three weeks of summer riding. I swapped out the plugs on...

Medical marijuana dispensaries in Berkeley will likely soon be required to provide free pot to low-income members and homeless people, according to an ordinance approved by the city council on Tuesday. The city is also looking to approve a fourth dispensary, raising the current limit of three...

Here's the final result on the 12" 'homegrown' can. It was easy enough to do, baffle was the one I made for the Holeshot can...just had to shorten it a couple inches, wrapped in 4 stroke glass packing and slid into a 4" X 12" aluminum tube, end cap from the old Holeshot can. The aluminum was...

After returning from Bikes Blues & BBQ in Fayetteville this weekend, and getting our Vmaxes cleaned up, we took the opportunity to line them up for a photo shoot.

I have been having some issues with my bike over the past few weeks and posted up in a couple of threads about my issues. After getting a bunch of advice from many great people I tested my stator and r/r and didn't find any problems. I replaced my battery but still seem to be having the same...

hello, i have a 97 max, and the mileage is about 18 mpg. i had the carbs all cleaned out and it ran better but no improvement in mpg. any ideas of why its so bad? i haven't owned a bike in nearly 18 years before this so my knowledge is way down. also, my car was stolen so i cant really dive in...

I just need confirmation on a few things. My Vmax is a 2002 and the rear rotor measures out to 7.45mm at the thinnest area. That should still be in specs correct? I have new pads on it so I'm leaning towards one of the cylinders leaking pressure since I bled it and got a good pedal but when...

Well I just went & looked at my 86 that I sold right before Christmas. The guy took a pretty good spill on it & its a good parts bike now. I am in the process of trying to get it back from the insurance company.

So as much as I wanted to I just couldn't come up with the couple hundred bucks it costs for chromed scoops. Since I'm already set up for powder coating, I decided to try out some 'Xtreme Chrome' powder. I'm very happy with the end result, but it is really not chromed. They are shinier (more...

I pulled my carbs expecting to find high float levels due to the poor mileage and rich smell. I found the floats about 4mm on the low side. Now I have also had a problem with the bike breaking up at high rpm. Sometimes it will go thru first and second before breaking up. I think the low float...

My poor man's cruise control I first removed my grip from the throttle sleeve. I then marked the raised plastic collar where I wanted to drill the hole for the set-screw. (red Arrow) Next I removed the throttle sleeve from the handlebars. Two phillips head screws underneath the kill switch...
