weight

is ti possible to lose weight on V-max. i need opinions, ok you can replace your costum with carbon one. i need a dramatic lost of weight. for example about 50 kg any suggestions?

I've been out looking at the new Max's, ZX-14, R1 and anything else that's faster than a Gen I VMax. I haven't found anything else stylewise that flips my trigger. The Gen 1 weighs in at 577.6 pounds dry so, just over 600 pounds with fuel, oil and whatever else that needs to be added in. My...

Would anyone happen to know the length and weight of a front fork assembly for an 85-92 Max? One tube is fine - I can multiply by 2 :) I have a pair for sale I'm putting on fleaBay and would like to enter relevant data for shipping estimates. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I noticed that my bike is much more safe, predictable, and solid when a passenger comes along for the ride. Obviously, there is more weight on the suspension. I'd like to see if there is a stronger correlation between the speed wobble and weight.

You guys with dropped front ends and/or shorter rear shocks, here's a quick easy way to get your bike to lay over more on the side stand. The stand on the left is oem, the small unpainted section just below the white wire is where the stand makes contact with the frame....the stand on the...

I'm about to change fork seals but am not sure what weight oil I need for the forks. What do you guys recommend?

Anyone happen to have the weight of the V-max center stand? With attatching bolts/nuts/springs? How 'bout the weight of a set of stk rear shocks?

So the 09 gains ~100lbs to 683 and gains ~50hp = ~.285 hp/lb The Gen 1 at 580 = ~.25 hp/lb And the ZX-14 at ~ 566lbs with ~ 162hp = ~.286 hp/lb Are these in the ballpark? How much more HP or how much less weight do you guys think it would take for the 09 to be the absolute, undisputed...

I apologise if this has already been addressed but what is the weight capacity of the gen-1 Vmax in terms of rider, passenger, luggage in respect to suspension and tires? Thanks, Blaine

Just curious. Mod monkeys chime in. The Max is pig heavy. Just wondering what's the max weight savings that has been achieved on the gen 1?

Does anybody know the exact weight of a fully dressed (with carbs.) stock VMAX engine? Did a search but didn't come up with anything definite.

Anyone know the weight of the stk rear V-max wheel/tire/rotor?

I think there may be a greater weight savings on the 09 exhaust system when the after market pipes come out for them. Likely more than there was on the 1st gen bikes. The new exhaust syestem seems pretty massive to me plus it has the catilitic converter, servo motor,cables etc. for the exup...

guys i have researched this again and again as well as read everything i could on Busa performance, zx14 performance (weight, dimensions, wheelbase, gearing, power etc) vrs the max. I gotta say all i can see here is a weight issue and nothing more. (In fact...i still wonder where all that...
