No that's the problem! I'm being forced to do the limit by mechanical issues! Dropped some seafoam in there and some fresh gas, no time to look at filter/lines yet, we'll see if that makes any difference.

Have not changed fuel filter lately. I will try that out and see if it solves this issue, will also have a look at all my hoses. Just noticed it happening in the last 2 days or so, lucky for me the highway that i use is a 90/kph.

Anyone ever get to the bottom of what this clicking is? I have the same noise if I dont let it warm up enough. I always start with choke on etc, but if i give it gas before its fully warmed up i get the clicking noise. I also have noticed this same clicking noise just recently. On the highway...

OK glad im not the only one with this issue. Thanks for the write-up Ra, will follow your advice as soon as I get a chance to do some work on her.

thanks i'll go check it out

So this is not the first time it has happened but always under the same scenario. Sitting in traffic, bike overheats, I flip on the fan override switch and then the bike starts to idle like shit and if i don't keep the revs above 1500 or so it just cuts out completely and then is rough to start...

Ok thanks, i'll look into that. Is it a big job to replace steering head bearings if needed?

I've noticed recently that my front end feels a lot looser than it used to. Going slow speeds and hitting bumps in the road it just feels like it wobbles around way too much. Anyone experience this? known cause/fix? Thanks

Is my v-max the norm here or is something wrong. I do a lot of heavy downtown riding, stop and go, in the heat (plus 30s lately) and my temp guage is always on the verge of red zone. I even have a fan over ride switch which I throw on when it really gets up there and basically just keeps it...

The guy jerked me around and ended up selling it before I could even look at it. Oh well, time to get mine on the road. I was trying to wait until I sold my current bike but fuck it, life's too short.

Thanks guys, I'll hopefully be seeing it next weekend, let you know how it goes.

Just came across an ad for a 97 VMAX asking only $2500 OBO canadian. The owner says he thinks it has about 34K km (stored at friends garage). I'm trying to setup a time to view it. I just bought a 99 VMAX over the winter and havent even gotten her out yet, but this deal seems too good to be...

All you guys in the US are bastards. I'm paying $1300/yr for a 99 VMAX. That ain't fair.

Couple more... :eusa_dance:

Am I too late to get in on this? Here's one idea I have a few more in mind but don't have the time to play with them right now.
