So my recent Vmax acquisition is a 2001 California bike. My understanding is that they're rated at 140hp instead of 145hp, like the other US editions. What is extra on the CA bike that can be removed, easily or otherwise, to de-influence the poor Max from thinking it isn't as tough as the rest...
I was removing my old rotors and one rotor came off easy, and the other one had 3 screws where the allen heads were stripped, and I tried everything I could think of to get them out. Used an impact driver, tried hammering a bigger allen and also a torx bit in there with no luck.
Next I tried...
I need to pull the motor on my Vmax.
Do I need a hoist to do it?
For the guys who have done this, are there any other special tools I would need?
I would like to be prepared before I get started.
Thanks in advance.

When I bought Karma last year she didn't come with the kit under the seat. What is the best and easiest way to remove my plugs? I've heard OEM Plugs are the way to go. I can't use the Search engine on the VMF with this so called top of the line cell phone.:bang head:

She runs...
If you have some old part needed to remove the paint off of them you may try brake fluid DOT-3 - it work for me. It can't hurt to try it. No hand work no mass.

Well after a lot of disappointment and now having to do some fabricating to my rim because my pops messed it up in a mill this is how you can remove the rear cushion bearing.. now I pulled out the center bushing ripped the rubber on two but I think it was because I didnt have the rim hot enough...
The Tools
-----------------------
Vinegar for surface rust. - Contains acid that makes short work of light rust. It can eat the metal and any coatings as well if left for extended periods of time. I suggest 1-2 hours max, but it's up to you. Lots of people have left their rusty tools and...
I am thinking about lowering the front of my bike. I was thinking about just removing the springs and cutting a couple inches off. If I ruin them then oh well, I will just buy a set of progressive lowering springs, so I will have nothing to lose if I screw it up. I really dont know squat about...
I almost embarrased to ask this, but I tried what was described in the manual and it does not work. The manual stated to turn the key clockwise and then the diagram showing the cowling moing back then up.
My key only turns less than 1/4 turn and the cowling does not budge in any direction...

Just a quick one for you: Is it a simple case of a few alan key bolts and lift the head off? Do I have to replace gaskets or anything or take any special measures?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
