riding

I took the max out to top off the gas, started great, ran great until I left the gas station. Heading down the road I gasses it and kicked in the vboost only to have the motor stop, dropped a gear and tried a rolling start, no luck. Rolled into the parking lot and tried to re-start. All...

Hey all, I just joined the forum because I am going to check out a 96 vmax tomorrow and I got to say I am looking forward to it. I saw the ad for it the other day and called the guy up and am bringing my friend who rides and who is pretty damn good mechanically speaking so he can check it out...

So, I just installed a new clutch from PCW on my 86 max, and I take off down the road for the maiden voyage for this riding year. I get about 2 miles down the road (it's in 3rd gear), and the bike simply loses all power on every level. When I turn the key on, there is no fuel pump song, no...

Riding season may be here! This may not be breaking news to folks further south but here in the Toronto area I saw my first 3 bikes out and about today...an enduro, a crotch rocket, and a gold wing. Snow is mostly gone and the last few days of rain have washed away most of the salt/sand from...

Yesterday was such a nice day out I felt like taking the camera with me. I took the old crappy pointandshoot canon (incase i drop it) for a ride around Charlotte. The videos all came out SO bright that you can't see anything but white (I forgot to change the exposure settings), all but one...

Like I said I usually go riding weekends and I will post here. But damn it got cold again and don't feel like bundling up..cold in South Fl is 50's....WTF it was high 70's yesterday.

I've been riding the Vmax during the Winter commuting to work and back, running errands, etc. The only thing that has stopped me is the snow/ice/salt. In Indiana right now it's in the teens in the morning (to work) and about 20s-30s in the evening (to home). I have decent Winter gear but...

Stopped to fill up today, got a half mile down the road and it acted funny, a mile down the road and it's dead. It will run with the choke on full, but won't accept throttle at all. It's been running great, I ran a full tank through it just yesterday and had run 40 miles already today. Where do...

Or looking at it, or sitting on it, or messing with it. So I might be scarce, but I have benefited from all the wisdom you guys have shared. :biglaugh: And I appreciate it. I have a few things to address on the bike. Ordered front brake pads today (EBC), ordered a new K&N air filter today,got...

And because he had this really nice, expensive bike, I started asking him questions. You know, it's a big fancy V-Twin, so I had to. I say "nice bike. How big is the engine?" He says "100 cubic inch, or 1600." I said "cool, bet it has a lot of torque and getup." He says "yeah, it does." I...

Well I am taking a ride some where Saturday probably leaving some what early & dont really know where I am going but probably gonna ride at least 2-250 miles if any one is interested just holler back at me.

Has anyone mastered riding a wheelie on the vmax yet? Been working on riding them but the bike is heavy but it will ride one:punk: I know I am not the only one who has tried lets hear your story on this.

Hi, A friend was riding his 89 vmax, heard a rattle, then the engine quit along with all power. He had it towed today, the shop suspected a bad stator but hadn't looked at it yet. Any ideas? Greg

Few of us thought it would be cool to start a Thread were you post pics of your Road Scenery on your rides. Ill start it with a crappy pic of myself and three of my good riding buddies, stopped at the river for a smoke. Ill post some better road views on the next ride.

i was wondering if wearing a costume in public is illegal, i want to ride around in a teenage mutant ninja turtle outfit. knowing my luck id get a ticket for wearing a mask and a fine for 200 bucks...

Supposed to be 51F here in Dallas today, and some buddies and I are going to partake shortly after lunch. (It's 30F, right now, though... :confused2:) So, who else is going to ride today, freezing or not?

My riding boots have finally crapped out on me. And they don't make them anymore in that style so I was wondering if I could get some feed back on what you guys are wearing. I like mid shin, zip with velcrow closer, I also have a wide foot. i hate ordering them from the web or catalog for...

Hi, There's frost every morning but I'm still not ready to stop riding. The hands are the hardest part to keep warm it seems. Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with a winter motorcycle glove without going to the electric variety? Thanks, Blaine
