    Vmax Wobble

    Hey all, out for a fantastic 10 day adventure on the Vmax a week and a half ago, noticed a handlebar wobble, like a speed wobble, but only when decelerating at about 20-30 mph. Makes me feel pretty uncomfortable when I reach off the bars with one hand to raise my helmet visor, or wave to someone...

    Swing arm installation question.

    Hey Guys! first post on the forum forgive me if I did this wrong. A week ago I took my swing arm off in order to slide in the shaft that i accidentally pulled out. So I was wondering is it possible to tighten the two swing arm bolts in a way that the swing arm is not center anymore making the...

    Why do most or all vmax bikes have a front end wobble if you let go of handle bars?

    Front end wobble

    I experience a serious wobble around 110mph on my 2005 VMAX. I had the front end looked at for problems but none were found. The dealer then told me that this was a common issue with these bikes and not to worry about it. I can't not worry about it so I'd rather find a solution. Is this...

    Wobble gone. Here comes the SHAKE!!!

    I got a set of All Balls head bearings and finally replaced the worn bits in my 1994 Vmax with much help of the forum wizardry. Thanks guys, really appreciate that. Before that I had to tighten the head slightly to tackle the wobble I was struggling with at >100mph with no or partial load...

    Low speed wobble after rear tire change

    I changed my worn out metzeler 880 to michelin commander II and now bike "wobbles" around 40-45mph, it feels like its up and down movement? I can take my hands of the bars when it occurs. I think it made this sometimes with old tire too, but now it is all the time at that speed. Lower or higher...

    High Speed Wobble

    I've heard of this happening, and well, on a burst up around 120mph, I felt it. Was nothing extreme, and it went away when I slowed back down to around 80 or so. It was just enough to let me know that Woona was not liking going that fast. As I mentioned, I've heard that this is common with...

    Wobble / Weave

    Cruising around Youtube the other day and I found this clip. This is quite old and features Murray Walker former F1 commentator but is pretty interesting viewing. Some of the demonstrations would have me changing my underpants lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvsDIq3WwVA

    High speed wobble

    At around 125mph my 2005 VMAX started a pretty violent wobble. I gotta tell you it scared the shit out of me so I obvisuly slowed down. I talked to the dealer about it and he told me that it is a known issue with the bike. WTF??? really? They make a bike that can go 150mph but it will go...

    High Speed Front End Wobble and Gas Leak

    As I've read this is very common to these bikes. With mine it can start as slow as 160km/h although usually starts around 180km/h. For my bike I find that if I push against the bars I can get around it happening. I must keep pressure on them whether accelerating or decelerating till I get below...

    Hey guys, I just bought another vmax after not having one and returning to the dirt for 4 years. Anyway, I picked up a 2003 in cherry shape and have a bunch of plans for her. It does have loose steering bearings that I found out by doing the bounce test. I know the process of tightening them...
