As of the otherday i experienced the Death Wobble for the first time , on just over 100kmph on a sweeping bend going over a bridge . As havent had my Max that long i am looking at doing the Furbur Fix . Everyone says it is easy to do but for me as i dont have a torque wrench etc am i still able...

Also be sure to post whether the bike is stock or modified.

What is the fastest you have traveled (observed top speed) on your V-Max? So far it's about 80mph for me... still breaking it in and establishing that initial relationship of trust!

Any help here would be appreciated. Background - When I got her, she had set up in a garage for a long time, so I had to have the local Yamaha shop clean the tank of rust, clean the carbs and reset the RPM's to 1.100. Since then, if I am running her a tad over the posted speed limits on the...

What are you guys using for a throttle lock/speed control? I've tried those thumb locks but the guy before me must have worn down the bar because they don't grip. There are a lot of options out there and just wondering what's working and what isnt'.

After shopping around for a few years, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first Vmax this past weekend. Its a 92 that looks to be in great shape. Now that I finally have my bike, I want to learn more about its mechanics - I like to do my own wrenching. I'm use to using a model / year...

I have never experienced a high speed wobble until this weekend. I was out on the bike on a stretch of highway when I opened her up and off I went at one point the bike started to wobble, scared the **** out of me. I have never experienced this before, I rode most of the day cruising between...

Does really good on a VMax on this slow speed slalom course. He comes out on a Busa at about 5 minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqspGwOwFd4&NR=1

I am in the process of importing a max. A 2LTNOOWA , the guy im dealing thru informs me that it is a Vboost V4 143hp model but all jap models are restricted to 180kph . Is there anyway round this?:hmmm:

Hi all :-) First post here I have thoroughly read all posts pertaining to idle/low speed issues and carb issues and I still have a low speed/idle problem. Conditions: I have owned the bike from new (1994). It is completely stock. I do not ride much (about 1000 miles/year). Recently I let...

I have an 06 v-max ,since new at 160 Km I have a bad high speed wobble .I have tightened the fork bearing and still a wobble .Any suggestions would be great thanks Keith

Guys - Was going about 25mph and went over a small bump and front end began to wobble. What could be possible cause? I verified everything is tight. I tried to check the air in the Forks and read nothing. I think the air fill valve is no good as I didn't get any air out when trying to exhaust...

I don't think I need to explain what the subject matter should be in this thread. By placing all GPS info in one thread it will make it easier to do a search for it later. Just wondering what ya'll are using out there on the Max or in your car. I just purchased a Garmin Zumo 550 which...

WE need a few more people to register for the Speed BIker tournament in the arcade!:rocket bike:

Good evening all, I just got back from a nice long freeway trip (About 500 miles), and I noticed some slight surging when I was cruising at around 65 - 70mph / 4500ish RPM (5th gear). It's something I've noticed a few times in the past, but not too often, because most of my riding is 55mph or...

Hey guys, What is a stock max with a k&n filter run flat out? 0-60? Does anybody have some sort of chart that shows speeds and times? Or a drag strip slip? Thanks :rocket bike: :bicycle:

I bet this would control speeding to acceptable levels:) http://www.filecabi.net/video/stopboobs10.html ________ strain index

I've started a Speed Biker tournament in the Arcade. I need 7 more players to start the Tournament. Join up now!:rocket bike:

I took the "Y" off my Max today and after the bike was warmed up, it would miss at about 6000 RPM. It ran fine just a day ago. It didn't matter which position the T-boost switch was in. Low speed is just as normal---- very good. So I've put the "Y" back on, checked the plugs and replaced the...

Last weekend I took my Max on a 1700 mile ride. All went very well except for discovering a low speed wobble that was worse than most high speed ones. At about 50 mph I took my hands off the bars to readjust my gloves. As the bike slowed to about 40mph the front end started to shake and...
