What did you do to your Vmax today?

[KJShover]

Took off the cover, looked at it.

Then I went and ordered a new mounting cup to relocate the tach., a water temp, and a oil pressure gauge.

 

[KJShover]

I broke the bank today.

Well, like they say... "ya can't take it with you" unk: wanna see pictures when you get done.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I rode mine today. And yesterday. And the day before. And monday as well. In fact I did 115 miles on monday, and only about 20 a day since.

Oh and I washed it today too, because it rained yesterday and it was filthy after only 16 miles!

There ya go, I can see it know... a big ass crate marked "2009 Vmax" showing up on the doorstep.

 

[vmax190]

I hear you. Been stripping my buddies 88 for him so he can powdercoat his own parts. The only issue I've had was those POS screws for the carb covers. 75% of them had to be removed by "dare I say it".........Vice Grips.

got a impact driver set from mac tools (part #sid13ba) one tap with a hammer and turn them out, great tool, me and the set. dave

 

[m-cman]

Just don't strike too hard with the hammer. A friend broke off one of the mounting bosses doing that. Also broke one off removing those chrome carb manifold covers.

That said, I have been using an impact driver for 30+ years and wouldn't be without one. Just start easy and gently hit harder till the screw comes loose. Presoak with Liquid Wrench or similar.

 

[vmax190]

already got them on, look great, thumb-not so good, one bad swing, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, oh well its done, now have to set in the garage and just look at it, ohio weather sucks. dave

 

[naughtyG]

rode mine another 100 miles home tonight - I opened it up jut once and it shot to 135mph, so I was really confused as I thought I had the T-Boost switch in the OFF position, and couldn't work out how it went just as fast as with V-Boost on..

..only to find out that the switch was in V-Boost position. Duh! Still got 105 miles to the reserve light running at 80/85mph most of the way - since manually turning my fan off I definitely gained 10 miles to a tank for the same riding speeds.

I still wonder what I could do to get the 40mpg many others see - I do have the Venture pumpkin but I don't really wanna go any slower. Maybe valves adjustment..

 

[KJShover]

I spoke with my friend moogly boogly and he said he was going to do a ceremony to help me fine d more power and gas milage. :eusa_dance:

He also said he would do a little somthin somthin to help share my weather with them Floridians :whistlin:

 

[naughtyG]
