Certainly one of the most modified GEN1 around. Only part still stock is the rear caliper hanger. This bike has gone extended modification and tuning, won't even dare to do the math of the total build cost. Specs follow below. Yes its for sale. Serious enquiries...
Hey fellow Vmaxers,
Just wanted to give a special shout out to Dale Walker at Holeshot Performance for the excellent job he did on bracing my 2002 swing arm. The fabrication is top notch and the welding is flawless.
First time I learned about Dale was back in the late 80's, I purchased his...
Well another accident this year... almost 25 years of riding and never an accident and I have two in one year.
Engine malfunction first time and animal ran in front of me second time. Not sure if I hit it. Can't see any signs of hitting it, but then again, the front of my bike is gone lol...
Long story short I had a 2009 Vmax and sold it to a dealer who sold it to someone else sometime in 2011 or 2012. Today, while cleaning out my desk I found the key. If this is your key I'll be happy to send it to you, but first we're going to have to figure out a way to be sure it's yours...
Well, I had my left side engine covers off to fix an oil leak at the pick-up wires joint. The might as wells got me and I decided to prep and re-paint the covers while they were off.
Went for a 25 mile high speed test run today, and after looking in the hole under the clutch bleed boot during...
Yamaha special size main jets
Don't know if anyone knows or cares but Yamaha makes I guess what would be called half size jets. E.g. between 150 and 152.5.
They are used in carbureted snowmobiles. Could be used for fine tuning a Vmax. Here are sizes in the Vmax main jet range and part #'s...
I am finishing installation of a new ES stator. I went to put the outer fancy cover on and can't decide what the orientation of the "special washer" that goes over the end of the crank should be. It doesn't appear to matter but I also know what happens when I assume. The manual and parts catalog...
Guys, was just perusing Mark's site and noticed he is running a deal on his exhausts. See below.... not may be the time!

First, the question I have is, what length do people make the connectors to go from the loom to the COP's? :ummm:
Secondly, I have been having a lot of "fun" trying to work out exactly how to route my wiring harness back into the bike (as well as hoses etc etc etc).
I pulled it apart ages...
After the recent bout of douche-baggery from UFO, I decided it was a good excuse to get rid of the UFO tail light that came on my bike, which I never particularly liked anyway. Didn't think the oval shape "went" with the bike.
I started looking around for a replacement and found the monstermax...

anyone thought about this?
Isn't 2010 supposed to be a special commemorative year for vmax? iv always been a bit curious about the lack of variable valve timing when its clearly set up for it (the chain driving one cam per head makes this easier to impliment)
so what could happen that would...
