I've always wanted a 2017 to set next to my 1995. Pretty much the same color.

This was a great thread until it got to the end. No reason why the system started charging again? Was it the stator or the R/R that solved it? Surely it wasn't the 1/2 inch off the plug wires to the coils or turning the air fuel mixture screws out. I know this was almost a year ago, but I'm...

Ok. I'll take your word for it. Ha! I have mostly kept my 95 almost completely stock anyway. I like it that way. GP

I like the looks of the Cobras over the "Can" look. Not sure I would want to lose power though. Would rejeting the carbs not fix that? GP

Sean Morley helped me with mine. Sold me all the parts in needed. Wasn't too hard to do. GP

Hey Bill, I had a 83 Venture that I bought new and rode for close to 90k miles. I noticed a coolant drip in the same place you did on your max. It was when it was cold weather also. There is a black o-ring in there that can be replaced. It stopped my leak.

I've had 2 Vmax's and 3 FJR's. Love the V4 (had a venture too). Wish that was the engine they would have put in the Fjr. Ha! I've got three different bikes now. Vmax, Harley, FJR. If I had to get rid of two and just keep one it would be the FJR. It does everything you need and then some. Its...

What Mr.maxx said. I've done this twice and it's much easier with the whole air box off. GP

I used a Kreem kit on my old 89 max after rust started clogging up the carbs. It took a while and was a lot of work shaking all those nuts, bolts and washer around in the tank to clean out the rust, but worked great. Don't know if it is still working long term as I sold it about a year later...

The Suspension is stock, so no problem there. Sounds interesting trying the next size smaller than stock on the front. May have to try that. GP

Yes, heavy. The slower I go the heavier it gets. I know the Max will never steer or handle like a sportbike. Just wondering out loud if a different front tire in combination with the ME880 rear will improve on it. GP

Hmm.. I have Metzler 880s on mine. The rear is fairly new, but the front is pretty old. Was on the bike when I got it. Showning some slight cracking, but some decent tread, so I'm going to replace it. Was thinking about a lasertech, but may go back with an 880. The thing steers like a truck...

Man, you are tougher than me. I can ride in those temps on my FJR with the fairing and windscreen, but on my non faired max that's a little chilly. :newyear0: GP

You got dat right! :thumbs up: GP
