Just got a vmax first timeowner

[silverstreak]

Hello all,I bought a 97 with 6300 miles for 3750. Was able to get such a good price because when i get to the guys house to check it out and ride it, it had poor throttle response,but ran just fine. I had to get the revs up to get it to not bog in first gear,otherwise bike ran like a bat out of hell. so I told him that you dragged me all the way here(100 miles) and didnt tell me about this? I threatned to take my cash and leave. so he sold it to me for a lot less than he was asking..Bike is now in shop getting carbs synced or cleaned or both....whatever thy determine it needs. I did get a taste of the vboost b4 I let the shop have it. I can tell Im gonna love this thing! unk:

$3,750? Thief. :biglaugh:

Congrats!

Oh, where are the pics?

Congratulations! Where's mine? lol

It sounds like it just needed a good sync and cleaning of idle circuit.

Thats a steal for sure! Now we need some pics!

Bike is in shop getting carbs worked on so cant get pics right now. It is all stock and the color is silver. I think it wont be stock for long tho,I have been listening to exhaust clips and I think after hearing the clip that is on Dale walkers site,I will definately be buying his hole shot exhaust.First thing tho is a different seat that sits lower.I am only 5-7. can barely touch on tip toes. probably looking at shoter shocks too to lower it some more. Would like to get it down 3-4 inches

hey I have shorter shocks on my '86 that I wanna swap back to originals, cos I'm 6'2 and not happy with it being that low. Not sure exactly how much shorter they are, but if you measure yours and I measure mine we can compare the length and let me know if you're interested in a swap.

Im gonna try the seat first and see if thats enough.If I do replace the shocks it would be with a brand new set and I would keep the stock ones ,so if I ever sell the bike ,more than likely to someone taller than me,they could go back to original height by putting back on the stock seat and shocks

I could probably work out a deal with you. I have an '85 with stock shocks and would like to go lower if I could. My bike has 16k on it and the stock shocks perform well. You can pm me if you would like.
