How a colour can change a bike....and yes, a new exhaust....

I just ordered a front saddle, I can tell you within a few months ;) What is the price you have to pay for it? In NL it costs over 1000 euros

Hi Vmaxcar, I use the 7100 in all of my bikes, it's probably one of the best motor oils... Recently I applied the 7100 to my V-Max (bought it a few months ago) and I noticed that the clutch slipped. Someone advised me to use semi-synthetic oil, so I put in the Motul 5100. It still slips, so the...

Thanks! Great tool indeed, never seen something like that!

Hi All, I'm looking for some rim striping for my 1700, because it has 18 inch wheels I can't find anything. I have seen a lot of pictures with cool looking Maxes having rim stripings, so you might know where I can buy the striping. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys, like jack wrote I always trusted Motul as a top-engine oil.... Now I have to find a new brand....enough suggestions in any case 😊

Hi all, Since I use Motul 7100 4T full synthetic engine oil, the clutch slips at full acceleration. Did anyone experience this also? The company where I bought the bike told me that this could occure, I ignored it because I didn't understand the reason why it should happen...the seller advised...

Thanks guys! See if I can get it ordered.... Regards, Marcel.

Hi all, Does anyone use a paddock stand (for cleaning purpose etc) for the V-Max? I noticed that the distance between the brackets is a lot wider than "standard" bikes.... Like to know which paddock stands you use.... Regards, Marcel.

Thanks guys! Of course I will not use car oil......Motul 7100-4T meets all requirements imo.....

Not yet! It's full original right now, so no surprises....I'll post some pictures as soon as possible....

Hi all, Somebody told me that synthetic oil, for example Motul 7100-4T, makes the clutch of a V-Max slip. He advised to use half-synthetic oil. Can you confirm this or is it a fairytale? I use Motul 7100-4T in all my other bikes and have no problems... Thanks for your advise! Marcel.

Hi all, I'm Marcel, living in the Netherlands, registered at this forum because I bought a V-Max again. Up to 2006 I had a 1995-1200. Recent I bought a 2012-VMX1700. Besides the V-Max I also drive an MT-10 which is also quite a nice bike, sounds like a V4...... Looking forward to discuss a lot...
