Haven't been posting much lately, must be cause I bought this new (05) Taco. :biglaugh: Oh yeah, I have also been baking yummies.......fresh Peach/Huckleberry Cobbler! :clapping:

took the v-max to a local sportbike event this past sat. decide to put it on the dyno and just wanted to know if the numbers i got are normal for a 97 with 12000 miles on it. the motor is about the only thing that hasnt been modded on the bike and i'm planning on installing sean's jet kit in...

Bike is a '92 with a K&N, stage 3 jets, Supertrap 4 into 2 and otherwise stock with 36k miles. I spent the night at New England Dragway in Epping NH, right down the street from the SigArms Academy. I was the only non-crotchrocket, non-stetched out bike there. Slow night, only 10 bikes the...

With tongue firmly planted in cheek... http://hubpages.com/hub/2009-Yamaha-V-Max-VMX17-The-wrong-bike-at-the-wrong-time

Greetings all. Talked to my dyno guy today, who worked for Yamaha when the Max was introduced. He has done only 3-4 Max's, usually they have been messed with (like mine). The last one had flatsides, which he ended up with 135hp at the rear (I wish) In order to make his work a little easier, I...

Did I do good? (First time Vmax noobie here) Well, I just snatched up a 1986 Vmax with 90k miles. Ya, I know the miles are high, but the bike is bone stock, miles were from commuting and the bike is very clean for its age. Here's the kicker..... I paid $800. Its not currently running, as...

Well, I finally got the motor broke in and made it to the track. These were my first times ever on a bike. WOW lot different than car AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had slipped the clutch way to much thru the first sixty feet cause thr front end kept wanting to come up. 11.25 @ 123mph 2.0 60ft...

hello all, i was wondering how fast can a stock max do 0- 60 mph ? any responce would be great. thank you

G?day fellow maxers (first post), The other day my fuel pump started making the priming sound after kicking over the engine. You know the sucking sound the fuel pump makes when you turn the ignition? Well that ticking noise normally stops when you hit the starter and now the bloody thing sounds...

Well l have most of the bugs worked out of the 85 engine I bought over the winter. I took it up to my local dragstrip Music City Raceway which is 10 mins from my house to run the gamblers race and also test and tune night. Here is my setup 85 stock engine purchased from a VMAX that was hit by a...

OK, Its that time of the year again to do a front and rear brake job. 98 Factory Calipers. My questions are. Who has the best price on pads? What are your opinons on different brands of pads? Can motorcycle rotors be turned like automotive rotors? If no, how do you remove the glazing from the...

I got My bike back together last night. I changed the battery to the Panasonic AGM battery that was recommended on vmaxoutlaw.com and thought I would fire it up. After a couple of stutters, she fired right up and ran great. a couple pops here and there but I figured that was to be expected when...

Hello All If the ignitor is going will it take all four coils or can it just take one of them out? Cheers:cheers:

Does having the VBOOST open all the time harm the bike and does it effect fuel economy, if you drive the bike respectfully (Which is hard to do)? I am still heehawing around about what full system exhaust to buy!!! UFO told me that if I buy their exhaust that I should run the VBOOST wide open...

New bikes don't deal with reserve switchs and at least the vmax has a light. Can I just leave the switch set to Reserve and the bike will run on both the regular tank and the reserve portion? Because it has been a really long time since I've ridden a vmax I forgot all about the Reserve switch...

Bike's a 99, all stock except for kerker 4 2 1. I did no front end strapping or any of that stuff, just got on the track and ran. Didn't even really do a burnout at all, did 1st time, but that's it. Started out running 2 back to back 7.6's with 1.9?? 60's. Then ran a 7.5 with another 1.9 60...

Ok guys, so here's the deal. I bought a 98 vmax with 8000 miles on it, and ever since I bought it, it has never run correctly. It will always stumble under 3000 rpms. Now onto the main event!! The other night I went out with some buddies, and when I was getting onto the highway, it started to...

Karma Time Bitchezzz Ok, ok, In celebration of my 100th post, not laying down the max "yet", spring thaw, this forum just kicking ass in general, and my recent raise at work. I am willing to have a little giveaway! So heres the rulez: This contest will run for one week. Use this...
