Another brother of the Wheel gone... Best thoughts and may God bless him and his family.

Seriously??? I just replaced my second started clutch and the stator. Hmm, How many hardened broken off bolts had I drilled out and retreaded... Man, I have to admit that that can be a real challenge. Good luck on selling it... good+

Hey Conman, This is a stock Gen 1 airbox, no cracks, breaks, etc., right! What is the shipping to get to Odessa, TX? where are you shipping from?

Yea, I have a couple friends that have bikes setup for ice. But like it was just said, dirt bikes with studs or spikes in the tires. Those bikes weight close to 250 lbs. My XR 250 was a 250 lb 4 stroke. 2 strokes were less when they were available. That is fun...

82 degrees, I envy you. It has been close or below 10 degrees for the last 5 days. Oh and yes of course a MAX can be ridden on Ice. I have ridden several of my bikes I have had on snowy roads and ice. I road my S2 350 triple and one of my CB750s on Ice in the past and other than just to prove...

Very similar, except the snow has changed to ice... The air here is so dry that any flurries stick. The snow has turned to 5" inches of ice on the roads in the less driven areas. I had to make service calls yesterday over 380 miles and it was a pain... Trying to ride in this with a normal...

This is my third. 2003 and 2 - 2005 Anniversary Editions. Bought the first 2 new. I was hit on both of those. Drove 280+ miles to get the third one used from a dealer in GA. I was in Tallahassee, FL at the time. A great machine... 1st one was nicely modified. Last 2 tightened up a bit with...

The Dragon is a great ride. I went through it on my 2006 FJR. Here is a photo of my first MAX, 2003 at the Continental Divide in Colorado. Tripping is very cool.

The Airbox still avaliable?

I have completed a full rebuild of my carbs recently and that bushing looks like the bushings for the choke. There are 2 of them, one on each side of the front carb set. One at the choke lever on outer left and the right on the outer side coming out of the carb.

Hey guys, my VBoost servo is starting to hang up. I have recently cleaned and synced the carbs and gave everything a good cleaning so that is not it. The motor is starting to die. Anyone have or know someone who may be parting out a Gen 1 and have a good VBost servo they would be interested to...

I did the same with the end plates and worked really well on my Gen 1. I have had and still own bikes I have spent a lot of $ on pipes. The Max is the first that that was not necessary to get increase of HP. I had a buddy that had a set of UFO headers. Very nice but sooo loud. I drilled out...

I am not making a ground braking claim or statement of what anyone should do. What is your deal? I do not care what a dealer will or will not do. No dealer touches my bikes. I take the wheels in for rubber change which I normally order directly to me. This is an experience of results I have...

Desert Max, Good to have you back on a VMax. I felt the same way when I got my third after my FJR. Fire-Medic, What "they" say is opinion. I have been riding since 1972. I have bought 12 bikes over the years. I have ridden well over 100,000 miles on a motocycle. As far as the radial on the...

Hey man, no guess. I have had 3 VMaxs. My first was a 2004 black with the Silver strip down the middle of the Airbox cover/sudo tank cover. It was my favorite. Short of going into the motor I had it dialed up pretty good. I could peg the Speedometer somewhere above 160... And it was steady as a...
