ready

What's wrong with this picture?

Looking for a 1st gen max to fill the gaping hole in my soul Ieft from the absence of my '90. Still have the bike but it just needs too much work and too much $ to put it anywhere near where I want it. I'm a daily rider (well, WAS a daily rider) and was trying to learn to wrench as issues arose...

I took the airbox off Godzilla to check for a mouse nest inside. A few years ago, it was jammed full. This year, nothing, but I did find a few seeds sitting up on top of the ignition box. No sign of chewed up wires, luckily. There were a few seeds sitting under the seat, on the voltage...

https://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/d/97-yamaha-max/6518440783.html Link to CL ad, figured $4,500 was a good starting point for two whole bikes one ride ready, the other for parts. both clean titles, and a truck load of parts. Going to use the money for a down payment for 2nd gen. I also...

So this is what the machinist and the mechanic are working upon, besides other things. It's a Marine crankshaft, Carillo rods +5 mm stroke, and a $$$ cyl. head w/ +1 mm valves, and heavily-reworked. Should be a bit above 1500 CC. Yes, also a heavy hit of NOS. Clutch is a single-stage...

It is time to sell the project / finished bike and redo it next year. I should have sold it earlier in the season but I was still too in love with it. Now my plan is to sell it and use the money to finish paying for school. So I'd like to share where I'm at right now. Photobucket destroyed so...

So my Dale Walker Holeshot slip-ons have at least 65,000 on them and are getting a bit tired. I've lost a few rivets and have a rattle. I was planning to take them off and drill out the remaining rivets and replace them all. So I was thinking while I have them ready to take apart, I'd have a...

Just wondering who all is ordering parts or getting their list together for this years Mods. I think having two bikes make it way harder.... I just remembered I needed new spark plug caps due watching the spark go to a cylinder in the evening about 3 months ago.. I have been slacking on getting...

So now the truth FINALLY comes out. As the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was unfolding, a high-ranking Pentagon official urgently messaged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top deputies to offer military help, according to an email obtained by Judicial Watch. The revelation...

It surely looks like the underwater captain of the Nautilus should be at its helm. Not steel, not aluminum, carbon-fiber hull & superstructure! Claimed to be 1/3 the weight of a conventional construction/materials...

Luggage is a little wide but would rather have it then not and it is removable when i get there.

Howdy everyone, So I am at some cross-roads..:ummm: I really love my bike, but I am ready for some change, but not sure of what kind of change. I could buy another MAX:punk: I could build a better garage:eusa_dance: I could pay off some bills:bang head: At any rate I am willing to entertain...

Thunder in the Valley 2014 will be here again sooner than we think so now is the time for us to start planning. Its date is June 26 - 29, 2014 so mark your calendars now. With the reorganization of the VMOA, things will be slightly different. Some questions so far (feel free to add on): 1...

Made some strides this week on almost getting her done, Its been a long journey. Put on the UFO Quadzilla mufflers last nite and fired it up for the first time, Awesome

Where are you planning to ride this year?

Ok I put the Max in the garage in November, it hasn't been a real bad winter here in Iowa but not warm enough to ride yet. Is anyone else jonesing to ride? Probably at least a month before it is nice enough.....how do you all deal with this time of year? Drinking is a method but thinking that...

Just finished building my CR500 Supermoto street legal beast. Been building it for the past year. its an 01 250 aluminum frame chopped up and modified to fit an 89 cr500 engine. Everything is new and or powder coated. should be a fun ride. Best of all, I can now start to build a VMAX!:punk...

I had a NEW v-max in '85, and again in '93. I'm looking to by a new to me used v-max. I want a first gen- don't like the looks of the 2nd gen. I know the first couple of years had a 2nd gear problem and I understand that the 2004 and up have some improvements. Are there any model years that I...
