So the bike was parked for the winter in my apartment block. Roofed garage and I had the bike covered but there was no way to prevent access to any ass clown who wanted to mess with it. (Even the security camera directly on top of it could not do that). Last week my bike was transported to my...

I am looking for a specific gasket but because I am from Cyprus I do not know what to look for on Ebay (do not know the English translation of the part). I am looking for the gasket for the left hand side (as you are sitting on the bike directly behind the pan which contains the starter gear and...

So my new relay arrived. However there was something different than the one i already had on the bike. There were two cables coming out. A green and red one which connected to the cable that the older one was connected to, and a black one which i have no idea where it goes. I thought it was a...

Just want to double check...I had hot starting problems, cold starting problems, had to jump start the bike 10 times this summer. The starter would just barely turn over and start the bike. Today I went to start it, no go. It just turned the engine once and then the starter did not seem to have...

Anybody know whether the screws of the clutch cover have rubber gaskets? And if yes where can I buy them from? I am changing my leaky gasket and was just wondering.

So I got my used airbox with k&n filter (previous owner removed it and installed chinese crappy pods) . The bike is currently running rich. I want to reinstall the stock airbox and was wondering whether there is an easy way to do that. Any suggestions?

Twistedmax answered my wanted ad for a stock airbox with a K&N filter. He was very helpful and even mailed the airbox to the other side of the world (Cyprus) paying a whopping $68 out of his own pocket in order for it to arrive as soon as possible. And he did all of this for someone who did not...

Hey guys! I came across this problem only yesterday. I have a new battery that was fully charged 2 weeks ago. I was using the bike to commute to work on a daily basis (a couple of miles really). Lights and all electronics work as they should. Lights do not dim when rpms are low. DUring the...

I am on the lookout to find the best looking but functional mirrors for the max. Anyone have any recommendations?

I tried starting the bike after a flat battery using a booster. I drove it until the battery charged and then when i tried starting it i heard a small knock from the starting clutch. The bike started ok and has been behaving ok for a couple of days. Should i start worrying for the starting clutch?

Hey guys...so I noticed that when I start the bike and let it idle, I smell gas from the exhaust (stock exhaust). The situation is so bad that if I stand facing the rear of the bike my clothes smell like gasoline! The bike has no problems starting, sometimes on the first or second tries. The...

http://enhancetech.com.au/sasy.htm Apparently from Australia. Have you guys heard of this before or has anyone tried it? I am getting a bonus from work so I am considering getting this as a reward for myself. :eusa_dance:

Hey guys...so after a long 3 months I finally got my bike back!!! I am psyched. During the last 3 months one of the jobs that the restorer had to do is install a ratcatcher belly pan identical to the one exactrep is selling. You can see this here...

Well my Max is at my local mechanic/restorer since April. The only things he had to do is install an alarm, new rear shocks, fix a leaky front fork and install a lip spoiler. All in all 2-3 days worth of work...and I am exaggerating. Forward two months and I still don't have my bike. The...

Hey guys, I woke up the other day to notice that someone broke my ignition switch by putting a screwdriver through it. It was fortunate that except from the locked steering wheel I also had a concealed kill switch installed so the thief could not start the bike. But my ignition switch is a...

I found a guy, an exhaust specialist who specializes in racing cars and motorcycles who can fabricate full headers and install a racefit exhaust. Racefits are perfect for R1 and Hayabusas so why not for a Vmax....what do you think about this mod?

Story goes something like this....previous owner installed some chinese made pods and threw the air box away. He said he rejetted the carbs and the bike has the stock exhausts. The bike runs ok but only made 100 hp on the rear wheel when dynod. Given the roller was not very accurate because the...

So I was toying with the idea of buying a belly pan for the Vmax. I know they do not cost a lot of money but after a complete rebuilt, new shocks, new gear and new everything I was running out of cash. I noticed an auction for a used belly pan. Seller had it on his motorcycle. I looked at the...

Completely stock no mods whatsoever. 100 hp even on the rear wheel. Vboost kicked in at 5300 rpms. The expression on the guy's face (who was running the test) was priceless. Just when he was expecting it to even out at 85 hp then wooooshhhhh...He aborted the test the first time because he...

Hey guys so the journey continues towards making the Vmax a modern machine...one of my front shocks is almost gone so there are now two possibilities. Either I rebuild the shocks or (according to my main man and mechanic) slap a pair of Busa inverted forks on the old Vmax. It so happens that I...
