All the "Man-Card" you're EVER gonna need is the title to your VMax!
The MM is a insidious and lecherous primate, take care to keep your wallet and credit cards out of reach. There is no reasoning with the ignorant mingers which is preoccupied with mods and bling for your Vmax.
I've had little luck with the one assigned to me, pretty much spent my money at will. There have been so many packages that have arrived over the years the mailman, UPS and FedEx driver just stop by my office to deliver the boxes to me! They also give me a wink after I sign as if to tell me that the MM has won again.
This is what he did to me!

I think my next step is to figure out exactly where my VMax sits on the performance end. Since it's been so long since I've rode, it's really difficult for me to tell if my VMax is running optimally or not. I sure feels fast as hell.
I guess the best way to figure that out is put it on a dyno?
When I hit 6-7k RPM VBoost definitely kicks in and I feel like I go from riding on the VMax to hanging on the VMax. I plan to get a carb tuner and probably spend some time trying to figure out how to use it.
I read here a lot of folks swear by Rotella oil, so I bought some this weekend and will change the oil this week.

+1, no need for a dyno yet, once you can no longer feel the vboost kicking in on a regular basis that's when you should start looking at a performance budget. Danny's suggestion of fork springs are a good starting point for handling, then checking and maximizing the braking system potential are good areas to have squared away before you start making it go faster. Comfort items like bars/ grips and seats can be added in as the budget allows. I would wait on the strictly bling things, but that's just me.Don't think you need to get too concerned about performance at this point....stock pipes, more'n likely stock carbs, v-boost working good, she feels fast to you, everything sounds in order. Pull the plugs for a look, if they have good color I'd say save the dyno $'s for something else....progressive fork springs for example.
Bottom line....if she makes you smile...she's got plenty of power & performance!! unk:
Yep. Ordered a Morgan Carbtune.
Another question. Sometimes when I'm pushing it hard and VBOOST kicks in the Oil Light comes on. Is that normal? It goes off once I roll off the throttle.
