Will do Sean.

It has always been a rough shift. It will sometimes pop out right after the shift. Other gears seem to be fine.

2006 7000 miles oil changed every 1500 miles, pumpkin too.

My max has started slipping in second gear when I get on the gas. If I'm not gunning it no problem. Only second. Any thoughts?

Was in college graduated 85. Test drove v65 Saber that year but ended up going dirt with a CR 480. Wasn't till the kids got out of the house and into college before I finally got my max.

A friend and I were trying to remember what movies had VMaxes in them. I thought the bike Tom Cruise rode in Top Gun was a max but have not verified it. If you have Vmax's in the movies or on TV info please post. Thanks

Neal, Got my Race Tech springs and emulators in today. Going to work on them this week may be calling if I have any questions. Doug

DFW Vmaxers this Sunday there is a ride in Midlothian. There will be alot of Cruisers there. See attached flier. Hope to see you there.

Sean, My prayers are with you and the family. Please post any needs the family have.

We had a nice ride Saturday. 13 riders in all, 4 VMaxes. Rode right at 250 miles around Whitney. Riders came and went as they needed. All in all a real good time. Will do it again soon.

Waylander, Wish you were here too. Then again we have seen whats just outside your front door and we wish we were there.:rocket bike:

I am planning a ride this Saturday. It will be on the route posted on twisty roads. Plan on meeting at Kim and Jenney's in Midlothian for breakfast at 8:00 Am and hitting the road at 9:00. Starting point is only a few miles away from Midlothian. Should be back in the metro area a little after...

Anybody ever done a stoppie on a max. You see the sports bikes do them all the time. Think the forks could handle it?

Over on www.starvmax.com there is a forum article with a letter form Yamaha to a dealer about the timing for the release of the new Max. If I read things correctly it will be a 2009 model. Hopefully by then I'll have mine paid off and will be able to upgrade.

So its a year out minimum, we will have elections, probably a couple more Hurricanes. and some inflation...................$16500.00 If Hilary gets elected I won't worry about US price I'll have to price it in colons.
