Not in the market for a bike, but if that 240 shows up at my front door for a grand...Well. Been looking for a 240 for a while.

I wander if it was the battery at all. Sounds a bit like resetting the brain in a car to me. Don't own a 1rst gen, but it's worth considering.

That's nice. Did they do the recall for the oil pump? I think I remember the original vmax pump needed an upgrade. Also what pack is that on the passenger seat. I could use something like that.

The big one can catch the wind like a sail at high speed. Pulled me hard left going across some fields one time. Sold it and installed the smaller one. I'm 6 foot and it deflects the wind right over my head.

I dropped one in the grass, running from a cop that probably wasn't chasing me. All I could think was how embarrassing this is going to look when he finds me.

I ended up using this 7CP02 BrakeAway Motorcycle Cruise Control For Sport Models on mine. Expensive and took some adjustments to get it to my liking, but it works well. https://a.co/d/8F0M4An great product i love it

That light should go off when you move. Almost time for 1rst oil change and shaft oil. Break in stuff.

Good choice. I love Rizoma mirrors. Here's mine

I often see people talk about traction and wear. But I like to go fast in a straight line. What's a good tire that is safe at the 180 mark? Looks like the Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultra are only rated for 135 in the rear. And Shinko are 149+. Seem both front tires have higher speed ratings.

Actually, Heli coil is not a bad idea. Just walked outside and I duno if I was in denial or what, but it's the left clutch assy. that holds the mirror on. I just need the clamp part. I'm sure I'll never get that part without replacing the entire clutch :( Thanks for the good idea tho. I think I...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a replacement part. The clamp that goes around the handlebar, holding my left mirror has stripped threads and needs replaced. I have searched oem parts and the only thing that doesn't show in the parts break out is that clamp. I installed and aftermarket mirror and it...

Gas will explode under high pressure with no spark. Higher Octane gas can take more pressure before it explodes. When gas ignites before the spark, the piston gets pressure on it before top of the stroke. This causes heat and loss of power. The higher Octane gas doesn't explode any stronger than...

Glad to see you are back at it. Was just wondering when we would get an update.

It sounds like you are stalling the bike, like being in the wrong gear at low speed. I'm sure you are changing gears properly 🙄, but is there some way the gears are not switched properly? I never looked into how the bike linkages are set up but maybe someone else knows of a way that could be...

For me the VMAX1700 is not so I can be the fastest bike on the road. It's so I can be faster then most and not have to repair my bike every few years. The time and money it's gonna take to keep that Ninja going is going to add up. I will still be passing bikes around 180mph in 20 years with...
