Did some cleaning of the Vmax today and tried another attempt at a video. The poor recording quality of my Iphone doesn't do the sound justice. It's sounds much more crisp.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the video I tried to make had no sound. I'll try to take another the next time I get the bike out. It sounds very close to this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3rRzE02J7Y

Took advantage of the nice weather today to tinker with my new Vmax. Installed a new battery. Installed the carbon fiber muffler on the Kerker header that I bought off E-bay. It looks really good on my carbon fiber Vmax, much better than the beat up Kerker K series that was on it. The...

This is a Kerker K series 4 into 1 header muffler. 2.5" ID inlet, street series baffle. It is scratched and has a few dents on it that could be massaged out. This would be the perfect can to modify and experiment with for that perfect custom sound then have it straightend and ceramic or...

Thanks. When I pulled the end cap off the can the bigger end of the baffle (bottom of the pic) was up top. The small end fits in the end cap better, does the bigger end slide into something in the front of the can (up by the inlet)?

Finally getting a chance to check out my new to me 2002 Max a little closer. It has a Kerker Header and K series canister. While inspecting my canister I noticed the baffle was just flopping and rolling around inside the can. I took the end cap off and there is no packing inside, just the...

If the bike fell over there isn't another mark anywhere on the bike, but who knows.:confused2: The wife will never ride on the back of the Vmax...unless her bike breaks down while we're riding. I just got the bike home a couple days ago so I haven't had the time to tinker with it yet but...

Good idea on rotating the canister but after checking the inside there is a dimple in the can to clear the shock, not sure if it's factory or not but it's there. Bought the Spyder for the wife. She refuses to ride on the back of a motorcycle(don't blame her) so this was the safest thing I...

New, old member here. Been riding motorcycles for over 35 years. I had a awesome show and go 1991 Vmax back in 2008. I joined here back then and got some great info and advice. Sold it during a weak moment when big $$$$ was offered for it but I knew I would have another someday. Have gone...

Thanks. I bought the bike from the estate of a prominent attorney who was in his 60's. He had a collection of motorcycles and his widow said the Vmax was one of his favorites and he spent a bunch of money on it. The bike had been sitting for a number of years before he passed away so it's...

Thanks again to everyone. I ordered the parts today and hope to get the job doen ASAP.

Great info! :thumbs up: Could somebody tell me from the link to the parts diagram below what gaskets I will need. I'm thinking it's gaskets 19 and 22 but I not sure what the stator cover and bolt crush gasket looks like...

Thanks for the info. If I read the manual correctly I'll need to remove the left foot peg, shifter lever, and mid gear case to get at the slave cylinder. Will I need a new gasket for the mid gear cover? any other gaskets needed? Below is a link to where I'm looking to buy the slave cylinder...

I'm thinking the clutch slave cylinder is bad on my 1991 Vmax. I found some fluid under the bike and the fluid in the clutch resevoir is low. The bike is also shifting a little harder tha usual. I'm planning on buying a new complete slave cylinder instead of rebuilding my current one. I'm...
