The other day I rode the Max to work. On the way, I was on a 2-way main road going about 70 MPH. A car pulled out to pass, and was suddenly in MY LANE. I braked hard, and moved as far right as possible (no shoulder - only dirt). The driver stayed in my lane and went past - so we were THREE WIDE...

If you have a stock gen 1, but want a full 4-2 system with Stage 7 jetting, let me know. My system is currently not identified but some think it may be a Holeshot or UFO. It has 2" headers and slip ons that sound downright mean. My bike sounds amazing and has incredible power but I take long...

Kind of am unfortunate series of events scewing me over. Yesterday, I rode to work at Cycle Gear and a lady hit my vmax in her truck and took off, knocked it over and did some cosmetic damage, got a police report done with witnesses (no tag number on truck) and am waiting for the agent to call...

A couple of days ago, I went out to my 2001 VMAX, it started, but then within a couple of minutes died. It's mostly all stock save for the SuperTrapp exhaust; it started great, got to the end of the driveway to let it warm a bit as usual. After running about a minute there was a significant...

Microsoft has a new code of conduct. They will no longer allow using your Microsoft email account to facilitate the sale of Firearms or Ammunition. America made them what they are and now they have no respect for the Constitution that made America. On the lighter side...you can't send any...

http://www.yamahapart.com/page/thenewvmax Touches a little bit on the development of the Gen 2. A lot of thought and trial an error went into producing the bike. For instance: I've heard people say before "Why didn't they put upside down forks on the bike"? It's actually mentioned in this...

SOMETHING TO PONDER: George Carlin George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent and so very appropr...iate. An observation by George Carlin: The paradox...

Hey guys Been a while since I've been active on the forum - I moved and have been busy with other stuff, but I still check up on what's going on once in a while. Anyway, my bike started running like sh*t a week or two ago and I could use some advice. I'm actually looking into what it would...

I was wondering if anyone found a chain gaurd for the MAD MAX swing arm that requires only minor altering to make it fit.. I bought mine in FEB has no chain gaurd and its gonna make a mess. I found grease everywhere from previous owner plus the girlfriend will have my jewels hanging if she gets...

Michigan Vmaxers, I just created a social group for us MI riders. I figured It might make it easier to contact all for a planned ride or event, make sure you join up and feel free to post up some pictures. Let's see how many Michimaxers we have. http://vmaxforum.net/group.php?groupid=17 PS-...

Did someone ask for a new-owner FAQ? Here at VMF, we love new members, those of you brave enough to welcome a V-max into your garage, and the pet mod-monkeys that tend to nest somewhere between the rear head and fuel tank. We realize new owners are going to have a lot of questions, since the...

Just writing to vent my frustration, I made a school boy error today. I am in the process of repairing my tank and since I had the rear guard off I decided it would be a good time to respray (all the red parts of bike to mat black) so I bought some Paint Stripper. (Already some of you know what...

Prior to doing the "Shotgun", I thought I would check the plug condition. The first photo shows the rear plugs, the next the fronts. You will notice that all the porcelain insulators are on the whitish side, only the right rear has signs of tan colouration. As well, both r.h.s. plugs have a...

Between the gf, my neighbor, and myself, I had 7 push-mowers to clean up, get running, and sharpen this past weekend. With gas being the crap that it is anymore, only one started. Replacing the plugs got 3 more running but bad, so I stopped out to Autozone, and asked the guy if there was any...

I have over 18000 on my 06 now. I notice what I thought was a clutch slip a few weeks ago but wasnt sure. Well we went on a 700 mile ride over the 3 days last weekend and it is for sure sliping. My last 2 oil changes I have used 15-50 mobil 1 racing oil full synthetic. I am not sure if this...

Just installed new plugs two tanks ago. Removed them to see. Noticed all plugs felt hand tight removing them. It might be two early to tell but I dont see the tanning I wanted to see. And #1 plug has a black spot. :ummm: Anyone?
