speed

Interesting vid I ran across being discussed on another forum. It seems, back then, even Dunlop technicians didn't know exactly what causes the dreaded weave - only that by lying down, you could minimize it. They should have contacted this forum for the complete answer.:biglaugh...

What is the maximum speed on VMAX you achieved? Me 200 km/h and it has more to do :)

High, I'm newer to owning a Vmax, onky about 1.5 years now. I am hooked!!! But have this higher speed wobble/tank slapper depending on the speed. 8 have had a new front tire installed, new front head bearings put in, and front fork juice replaced. All done by a well respected, great mechanic...

Hey guys well after 2 year and a long stretch of scoped out road I finaly decided I want to really see how fast can my 2007 Vmax go I know ive gotten it up to 120 before in a quarter drag so I took off and just pinned it and I noticed I was in fith gear around 7500 and 8000 and the speedo was...

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...

2001 Stock 24,000 miles. All original parts. When running over 65mph, 5th gear... rpms somewhere around the standard 4,000 or wherever it is at that speed... anyway, I hammer the throttle, and moments later I may, or may not, hear and feel a single KICK. This noise is occurring somewhere...

I bought the Kindle version of the Cyclepedia manual for the V-Max (the images in the Haynes manual are not very clear). There are a couple of places, including carb sync (see attached), where it refers to using an inductive tachometer to measure the engine speed. The Haynes manual doesn't seem...

I had a low speed drop a couple days ago and since my steering feels light. My riding skills are alway improving and im able to put her where I want to go more and more but since the drop, the steering feels "very light". Like the slightest touch will turn the bars. This occurs at all speeds...

My bike wants to turn in sharper when I am turning at slow speeds, ie. residential neighborhood just putting around and turning onto another street. I have to hold the handlebars to keep it from turning all the way in. I have no death wobble at least up to 100mph and no deceleration wobble...

How not to go over a speed bump....... http://biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=38393

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 where can I get a 1 inch spanner wrench to adjust my head bearings ? .I have some wobble.

Hi. i have a 96 vmax with 7,000 miles, new Dunlop tires. The bike handles great except from time to time at speeds under 25mph the bike will wiggle from side to side like you just cant hold it in a straight line. anyone have any suggestions? otherwise its a great bike.

I know we get comfortable and used to our bikes. But how many of you start to feel you bike gets slower? Today I hit the highway like I normally do and decided to really hammer the throttle past my usually sprint to 105-115 off the ramp onto the highway. I held it wide open till it just...

Just a bit to introduce myself, some of you may already recognize my username from the v4musclebike forum. I live in Durand, Michigan about 40 miles east of Lansing. I've had a 3rd Gen Magna for a couple years and have been loving that bike. The 3G Magna and a VMax are both on the top 5...

So how do all of you stay out of jail?...lol... Anyone using a radar detector? if yes what kind? with all the power and speed, Its so hard to not just whack the throttle :bike1:

Hello all, has anyone installed these turn signals. High Tech Speed X-arc from Motorcycle Superstore? They are suppose to be intensly bright and cool to the touch. They are $100 a pair, was wondering if they are worth the investment. Thank-you

Where the heck is the procedure for setting the A/F screw positions? I know that a dyno or an A/F meter is the best way, however I thought I recall a procedure to get you close for those without access to these resources. Since waking the bike up after it's long winter nap I have had a...
