Hey gang! New member.
Saw the thread topic and couldn't help my self.
I bought a 2014 a week ago. My 2nd Vmax, 7 years after the untimely death of my 2007....But that's another story.
I've got 605 chilly *** miles on it now. Just changed and inspected the engine and final gear oil today..lookin good! I freakin love this bike! But i't's already sitting in pieces...sort of. Got my mirrors from UFO yesterday and according to USPS i'll have the front radiance blinkers and rear fender eliminator kit from them as well tomorrow. I do have some questions for those of you much more familiar with the Gen 2 than I.....
I don't know if it's just me but has the Vmax crowd sorta simmered down? VMOA is a ghost town and many of the OG Guru's sites haven't been updated since 2010! Anyone in or near New Orleans? any Vmax'ers going to Daytona?
And lastly..i'm sure it's been asked many many times but please indulge me and save me sifting through tons of threads....
I just did the air box mod...it smells really rich now. Is an ECU Re Flash or competition ECU needed before i do the exhaust and other simple mods like the airbox? In other words...am i going to hurt it if indeed it is running rich. And speaking of exhaust...i just called Vance and Hines and they didn't even know or have info past 2010..... Has the catalytic converter changed or anything else since 2010 that would prevent the Vance and Hines CS one from fitting or will it still fit!? Heeeelp!!! and long live the Vmax!!
