Hey guys, For practical/daily use, what the biggest size wheel/tire set up that one could use. I have always lusted after the Vmax but recently rekindled it and subsequently purchased one because of this pic. I would love a long term project to turn my stock bike into this, just curious if it...

Hello, If after other checks of the intake system it is found necessary (preferable) to change the size of the main jets, I strongly recommend to check the flow rates of the old ones first - in case that the current main jets have been there for a while. This is particularly true if you have...

Hello, I'm planning to make the mod for brake on front and to change the rear disc. I got already the R1 calipers and very nice adapters for those (for 298 mm disc). I was planning to change the front and rear discs, since they are not anymore efficient and they don't look good anymore. I...

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew the width increase I would experience going from a Metzeler 150/90 B 15 M/C 80H to a Metzeler 170/80HB15? Would it be as much as 1/2 inch wider on a stock rim? For some reason I don't see much of a difference in pictures and would appreciate some real-world...

Anyone know what size wrench the hex-nut shaped part of the fly wheel takes? Manual tells me use and adjustable spanner but I hate useing those. They don't grip properly and usually wnd up tearing the **** out of what I'm trying to remove.

Hey guys, I know this may sound like a stupid post, but I am not near my bike and I need to know the stock rim sizes of a 98 max 1200. I know the rear is a 15" but what about the front. If anybody can help me out, it would be great. Thanks all.

Hey guys..... Need to pick your collective brains. I am looking into a braced and notched swingarm that will accomidate up to a 200 series tire for my 06 Vmax. I don't want to give up the stock rear wheel. I love the look of it. So what is the the largest tire that can be mounted on...

Thanks! I am possibly one of the very few who likes a beefier front-end instead of the skinny tires. Just to explain what I need, I am one of them cruiser-types, don't really break any speed-limits, or care too much about cornering and such, specially at speeds I travel, just ride safely for...

Just wondering what the max tire size I can put on the Vmax. Looking for the bigger look on the back end.

Yesterday I was checking the rear 180/55X17 on my bike that has no notching and it is rubbing against the swing arm! though when I installed it and filed 1/8 of rubber off,it did not rub but was very close,this makes me believe that the tire actually swells up a little with use:realmad: so I...
