Hi, this is just a curiosity question; I just wonder, which was your max speed that you have reached riding your Vmax.
So far I still need to buy a proper helmet, so I just went up to 100miles per hour with my open face helmet and goggles.
so its been a year since i bought the bike and the mods started pretty much right after. the bike is scheduled in for bench time to install the lowering link new exhaust, clear covers, and 240 wheel. in addition to the new exhaust i got the corresponding re-flash for the ECU from tim. im...
Article in last months Rapid Bikes magazine out of Australia. None of it's news to me, the Max is a hoot to ride.
Sorry about the format.....I bought a digital version of the magazine and this was the only way I could figure out to save it.....each page as an individual PDF. :ummm:
You...
I just spoke with Dyna on this lap top programmable unit.
The old dip switch programmable unit is completely discontinued.
The new lap top programmable unit has replaced it, and it's more than just programmable, it has all the features you'd expect on a modern unit.....
It still carries the...
Hi,
So i just put on UFO exhaust with morley jetkit. I have the air corrector, modified airbox and PCV connected and read on http://www.vmaxoutlaw.com/tech/cv_carb_tuning.htm that you begin with tuning the top end with main jet sizes.
The problem is that I can't even get to the top end...

I went through all ten pages, and have yet to see one single motorcycle in them. Don't know what to say...
I have clutch drag so I'm just bleeding to try to eliminate it. When I take the cover off the master cylinder and pull the lever, fluid shoots out the top. I'm thinking this shouldn't be the case. But please tell me if that is normal. When I bled the brakes it didn't do that. On all the...
In the late eighties, early nineties the Japanese factories realised that customers wanted some adjustment on the front forks.
I seem to recall that there were machines with pre-load adjusters built into the top nut of the front forks.
Is anyone aware if there are any out there that are the...
Two questions I have to ask:
1) Anyone know how fast the Gen2 will go stock?
(I took mine to 158 mph last Saturday but didn't want to push it too much more on the street)
2) Anyone interest in joining me in March for the Texas Mile?
I will be registering in January so please let me...
I've got an empty ad box at the top of this website, when I click on properties I get this

Any one know what I need to do to get rid of it? I've already turned of any unknown tool bars...
hey theres a hose attached to the top of the gas tank it keeps spitting out gas, I was wondering how to stop it, i took off hose to see what causes it, and its just pressure building up in tank, then causing it to spit up, any tips would appreciate it thanks!
Thanks for looking in AGAIN -- I've been fighting a rusted tank, carbs gone bad etc. Sealed tank and did Shotgun method. Tried to fire her up and fuel is coming out of (vent tube?) on top of carb that leads to topside of airbox. That particular carb gave me trouble in that the idle screw was...
I just bought my first motorcycle (that runs and drives). I accidentally left the key on yesterday while hanging out with my daughter and the battery went dead. I am also waiting on a screw for the clutch lever perch, as that snapped off right above the threads. So the bike is in the garage...
Symptoms -
Top speed peters out around 115.
Fuel economy around 25mpg (GPS confirmed)
Faint smell of gas detectable up to 6ft away, and the right exhaust smells a little richer than the left. No puddles anywhere, though.
Details -
1993 VMax I bought last August in Daytona, FL. Has some...
Anybody checked out the new "American" Top Gear? It's on the history channel sunday nights.
I've been a big fan of the original British version for quite a while. It used to be syndicated on TLC, but then got canned with all the other car shows in favor of home makeover and fashion crap. The...
Ok, so ever since my tire fiasco at the VMOA rally in Eureka Springs, I have been running a Metz 140/90/15 ( all I could get at the time). I have noticed that my top end speed has dropped 5 or 6 mph (GPSed) due to the shorter tire.
Now I am going to replace both front and rear tires, and am...
Most folks may have already seen the Ariel Atom in action, I still just cannot imagine having a street legal machine like this, it would be way cool.
Jay Leno had an Ariel Atom custom built per his specifications; however, dropped a GM 4-cylinder power plant in instead of the Honda, he...
They just finished a 10 mile run of double highway leading out of town. The bike felt really good. I quickly zoomed it up to 160, stayed there for a little bit, then tried 180 to see how it handled. Then I looked straight ahead and pinned it! The bike was screamin,and and i was moovin.No wobble...
