2008 Zuk SV650S ( SOLD ) Hi all. We have decided to sell my son's SV650S. Going to get back into the dirt bike thing. Please see craigslist link below and e-mail, call, or text me if interested or if you may have some questions. Thanks, Rick...

Whats up y'all? Haven't been posting on here in a while. Dropped the VMAX a good while back, been a little scared ever since. :biglaugh: Anyway, started it last night, wanted to let it run for a while, circulate the oil, coolant, and fuel. Started right up, warmed up to operating temp, revved...

I am in need of a new front tire for my Vmax. I keep hearing about the Shenkos here on this site...well, hear about them from time to time. I'm interested in others experiences and which model was chosen. My current front tire ( slick ) is an 110/90/18 Metzler ME 880. Best price I can find on...

Well, what can you say about it! I wrecked mine, a gentle wreck, but put me down for a while....55 years old. Anyway, put it back together with parts from the forum..Patrick. Rode it again today. Brought the front wheel off the ground in first, second, and third, over and over...addicting! A...

Seems like that low rpm idle problem is popping up alot in this now hot weather. I feel fairly sure that the problem on mine is the wires. Upon inspection, the wires were very badly corroded where they plug into the coils, and I was missing one of the grommets that hold the plug wire to the...

I have my Vmax for sale, but my son and one of his buds wanted to go for a ride yesterday, so we went. Anyway, the one kid has a 2004 GSXR 600 and of course, we hit it off a few times. Here's the way it went. Didn't matter which gear we hit it at, slow roll, 50 mph roll, he pulled the Vmax right...

I haven't been here in a while, had some personal issues going on and actually didn't have internet for a while. Anyway, wanted to mention some things about Sean here. I don't know him, nor does he know me, less a couple of e-mails to one another about my trans developing the second gear "pop"...

I'm going to need tires pretty soon and I priced the replacement Metzlers and they were let's say...on the high side....$179 for the rear, plus tax of course. Anyone here running the Skinkos.......or I might ask, whats a good replacement tire brand that is of good quality but does not require...

Not sure how I came up with this but it certainly provides a broad range of info about bikes. :punk: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2010models/2010models-yamaha.htm

Went to my trusted Wal-Mart today to get an oil change for the old truck. I normally use 10W30 Castrol and the cost was $12.99 for 5 quarts...today it was $18.99 for 5 quarts.....almost a 33% increase. Crap :damn angry: Anyway, picked up the Supertech brand ( Walmart brand ) for $10.99 for...

I know this is going sound a little nuts, but I've checked the mpg on my Max probably half a dozen times. Here's what's weird to me. I often ride around in the area of my home...backroads with lakes, creeks, an orchard here and there...usually running 35 40 mph..tops, stop signs here and there...

What's up guys? Hey, I've been fighting an "off idle " now for a month or so....finally about to give up and ask for some knowledge here. Details/info: - After the engine completely warms up, most of the time it's difficulty to start, requires a little throttle - After warm up, sometimes has...

I guess its OK to put this here. I'm new to the forum and can't really provide much info on the Max but I do have a fair amount of experience on ATVs. If someone needs some help/info on an ATV, let me know as maybe I can help. Rick

http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterXRef.html I use this on a regular basis for a lower cost oil filter selection. The list looks to be 7 or 8 years old and is need of updating, however, every cross referenced filter I have tried ( and its been many ) has been correct and worked on that...

I have a 17 y/o son who has been riding for about 3 years or so....yes, some of that time was illegal but with me on our backroads. I live in the "boonies" so to speak. Anyway, a few months ago I bought him an 08 SV650S. He rides fairly gently and gets about 58mpg. Of course he loves the...

When I bouight my 95, I was told that it produced 140 HP...this is by the PO. I've looked it up online, several diff sights, several diff answers...anywhere from 100 to 140. I considered that a possible reason for this diff could be crank verses rear wheel, however, I would not think the bike...

Quik question. I feel the carbs need to be synced on the 95 I just bought. Would anyone know why I couldn't use the "old fashioned" vacuum gauges instead of the Merc or Protune? Thanks:ummm:

Hey, what's up guy's? I just purchased my first Vmax and I'm new to the forum...thought I might say hello. I've already spent hours on here learning about my new beast ( new to me, it's a black 95 model ). I'm 53 years old, all my friends wanted me to buy a HD Electra Glide and I guess at...
