    Time to say goodbye

    yeah...aahhh...no...not for me...it's more of a 3-wheeled car than anything else...but as the saying goes..."there's an ass for every seat!"...

    Runs bad once hot

    I always shoot for cardboard colored tan...white/white is a lean condition...so, not enough fuel OR too much air...have you checked for leaks around the boots? Only true way to know is to stick a sniffer up the pipe and get readings at various throttle positions...plug reading is not an exact...

    Runs bad once hot

    I don't think it's electrical if it runs fine when on the gas (but anything is possible)...sounds more like a jetting issue...pilots to be specific...major question: Do you need to choke it when cold to fire it?

    Time to say goodbye

    Well...It's VERY different from the typical motorcycle, but VERY much like a 4-wheeler or snowmobile (I own those as well)...more like a sled on wheels...same ridiculous low to mid grunt and less on top...It's very stable, tracks well (when you replace the stock Kenda fronts) and is comfortable...

    Time to say goodbye

    Well, after 7 years of ownership it is time to say goodbye to my 1995 Vmax. I reluctantly sold it yesterday, the first person to see it snatched it up at full asking price (I was kinda hoping they would try to lowball me and I could hold onto it a bit longer, but unfortunately not). I want...

    first ride on vmax. got few questions

    At 6k you should certainly "feel" the vboost kick in...it's not a peel your ass off the seat kinda boost, but you most certainly can feel it...if not they it's not functioning properly... Handling - hands down radials are THE BEST handling mod for the vmax...as mentioned, a modified or new...

    Could a good fabricator make a mod for a center stand for Gen 2

    Well...It really depends on what's available to work with as far as space and mounting points. The Gen1 was designed to have one, the Gen2 not so much...I'd think exhaust routing would be the greatest obstacle...I don't own a Gen2, so to comment further I'd need to see some pics of the area in...

    My Vmax performing like a 500cc

    Time to check the valves??? Do you know anybody with a Vmax close by that you could do a carb swap? I'd be curious how it runs with a known running set of carbs installed...
