    Help, I can't open my seat.

    For what it's worth, the battery is charged and she's running fine! :eusa_dance:

    Help, I can't open my seat.

    Thanks guys, I got it. The tool pouch strap had come unhooked and a corner of the pouch was jammed in the latch the last time that I had shut it. I didn't do a good job describing the problem, I couldn't get the center to pop up to get to the bolts.

    Help, I can't open my seat.

    Not sure if this is the right place for this question,. My apologies if it isn't. I also apologize if this is a stupid question as I am fairly new to the Vmax. My problem, I went out to start the Vmax for the first time in a couple of months and the battery was dead. I know that the battery...

    Your bike ever get you Laid???

    The Vmax= no. The last 3 Harleys= hell yes, all 3 of them. Sorry, just the truth. I was already banging my current G/F before I got the Max or the answer would be different. On a related note, she's pretty open minded. I think I can get her to pose for some pics with the Max. Maybe...

    Broke swingarm in half!!

    DAMN!!!! Glad you OK. That had to cause a BAD alignment issue. It's a wonder the rear didn't try to pass the front. I agree with that. If the only seat on a motorcycle was the back seat, I would NOT be a bike rider.

    Bike cover's

    I just got this one in yesterday and haven't put it on the bike yet. My bike stays in the garage but I want to keep it from getting dusty. Any comments on it? http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Deluxe-XL-Motorcycle-Cover/2087513/product.html?

    Perplexing problem - can anyone help?

    I DEFINATELY don't proclaim to be a motorcycle mechanic but is it possible that it just running out of fuel at periods of high demand due to either a clogged filter or a weak fuel pump? If one of my old street/strip cars acted like that, that's what I would suspect. Just my $.02.

    Scooter advice needed...

    You realize that part for those things are made out of "unobtainium". They are like a bic razor. When something breaks, you throw it away and get another one. That said, it could still be a good deal due to the gas savings.

    water injection?

    I should have mentioned that. It's 100% correct. Water/alky injection by itself will not gain any thing BUT it will allow you to run more boost or timing advance than with out it, thus the power gain. I was getting detonation with 7 psi of boost on my truck. I installed the meth kit and went...

    Scooter advice needed...

    I have a Yamaha Zuma that I use to run around the neighborhood. I've even taken it to a couple of bike rallies and had a blast on it. It's top quality. Riding a scooter is like f*cking a fat girl. It's a lot of fun but you don't want your friends to know that you do it. :rofl_200:

    water injection?

    I run a 50/50 mix of water/methanol injected post blower on my Avalanche. I make a major difference in the IAT (inlet ait temp). I've seen the IAT drop by as much as 40 degrees when it starts spraying. My controller is adjustable for both starting point in boost psi and max spray. I keep it...

    Thermo switches to solve overheating

    Thank you, Sir. That's what I'll do.

    Thermo switches to solve overheating

    I just bought a Borg Warner TFS 545. I was assuming that it was a direct plug in but see that it isn't. I'm assuming that you guys are just cutting off the factory plug, installing new terminals on each of the wires, and plugging them in individually?
