    Anybody running these rims?

    Is anybody running these rims on their max? Any experience on fitment or duability I love the look of the Carrozzeria rims, but seeing how they are out of production for the Max I am looking for alternatives. The yellow seems a bit bright (pronounced "ugly"), so if I do these it will...

    What do you guys think of running different brand tires front and rear?

    I know this probably belongs in the tire section...oops. I really like the shinko rear but I am not that fond of the front. I try to keep the tires matched because of rubber compound. I hit the corners pretty hard for a vmax(lol I think so anyhow maybe I am slow) so I don't want any surprises...

    Running rough when hot... Help please

    I'm not sure where to start.... with the symptoms perhaps. Once the bike is at what I will call the 'normal operating temperature' or about half way on the temp gauge, I experience the following: Idle drops below 1K, not much mind you, kinda jumps from 900-950?. However if I blip the...

    What will back pressure do to running?

    Hey folks: I installed a baffle within the UFO exhaust can I have (I have one of the wicked loud 4-1 systems) and the bike runs pokey as hell. What is happening to the whole running system when too much exhaust back pressure is applied? Thanks very much. Elimax

    After the dealership screwed up my bike I had another company try to fix it and they couldn't get it running right.

    running out of gas

    I have a 2006 vmax with 1500k on it. Just bought it. Pulled carbs and cleaned from sitting. Runs good now except when fuel light comes on and seems to run out of gas. I switched the reserve switch but still acts like it runs out of gas. Any suggestions?

    Want running lights AND blinkers with your aftermarket LED signals up front?

    From what i've found, most of the aftermarket LED signals are only a two wire setup, which does not allow the use of the factory running lights. Someone may have a fix for this but i was unable to find it in my searching. Anyway, i used a tail light "integrator" that i purchased at AutoZone for...

    Running rich due to exhaust mod?

    My dad recently did the stock exhaust mod - we drilled 5 3/8" holes and then spaced it about 1/2" before putting the cover plate back on. I recently received this email: Does this seem likely??
