Vernon CT? did you get the max at the consignment shop in stafford? wecome to the site,let me know when you want to ride or try a seat !

 

[V-Four]

Uh oh?...
is it bad if i did?
i mean..not that i did..but ..just curious..

 

[twistedmax]

A buddy of mine called me and told me about a vmax in stafford that was pretty cheap.he said it had cobra exhaust and they suck (IMHO) yeah their loud but they rob power..I dont know the bike but I figured vernon and stafford are close enough for it to be the same bike you bought. Was I right?4

I'm new also and I recently got an 85 now running. I am very interested in what makes the 85 different from new like models? Anyone know?

Welcome to the forum!!! Nothing much makes an 85 different other than little things here and there. The higher HP is a false statement. Here's a page explaining all the different years

Greeting from Malaysia
Join this forum and being a lurker long ago when I got my 1st 93'Vmax 6yrs back , but sold after 2yrs and grab an 08 R1 .
Then again , sold the R1 and back to 97'Vmax this June :biglaugh:

Thanks to this awesome forum , I learn & practice all of the common tech issue from you guys, and DIY for the very 1st time.
Upgrade the to progressive spring & lowered 1" , replace seal , got my wife help to pull the fork while installing back the top cap .. PITA

Replace steering head bearing , and to grind it off the lower race is real PITA

Repaint all to Matte black from silver

No plan to change the headlamp but somehow i drop it when checking the wiring. So just rush to car accessories shop grab 2 type of fog lamp , lower lamp with H3 HID , top with normal H3 cool white.

Also , no plan to trim the rear fender , but a blind rider just bang on me and lose his 4pcs front tooth. Will look for a replacement later.

Stage 1 Jet kit will be the next :eusa_dance:

You guys rock!! greatly appreciated :clapping:

Regards,
Julius Lim

Welcome back Julius! I wouldn't bother with a Stage I (or VII) with a stock exhaust, unless you just want to have adjustable needles.
