Just a couple of pics of my 96 Max.

Don't you love the txdps... I got put in jail by them recently... for speeding... look at my thread, first ticket on Max.

Oh and by the way, if your caught doing twenty over the speed limit in Texas, you go to jail and they charge you with reckless driving. Just a FYI.

I was doing roughly twice the speed limit.... which was 65, and it cost me a lot, around $2,800. I was charged with reckless driving, and had to spend about eight hours in jail with some of the finer citizens in Texas..., which is one level less than DUI in Texas. I had to get a lawyer to get...

Yeah, I got to go where real criminals get to stay when they get caught.... Never thought I would end up there. Never though a speeding ticket would be so expensive either! I could have gotten my Max bored out to 1500cc with the price of that ticket! Damm it!:bang head:

I'm in Houston, on the North West side, 290 and 6 area. Let me know if you would like to meet up. Scott

Hello again everyone. Another update..... I changed the oil out to the Shell Rotella-T. It has cleared up most of the problem, but now it only does it in 2nd gear. I have hit it hard in all of the other gears and they are all fine except for 2nd gear. When I accelerate hard it doesn't slip like...

Another update: I have tried all of the suggestions... New roads, dry roads, the 5th gear at around 7 grand, I have a pretty new back tire - Metzler only about 3,000 miles on it. It does it in every gear and now it seams to be getting worse, starts doing it earlier under acceleration now. I...

I will try the 5th gear slip test as soon as I can. I live in Houston on the NW side, 290 and Hwy 6 area. Let me know when you want to ride.

Just an update, I haven't been able to experiment with different riding conditions as the weather down here has not been cooperating. The first chance I get to get the max out I will try the suggestions and let you guys know. I appreciate the feedback. One note though, most of the roads in...

What type of motor oil is everyone using? I'm using Castrol 4T 10w40 on a 96 with about 15,000 miles. Anyone using this and any complaints? Any suggestions for something better?

If I accelerate hard I get a slight slippage that lasts maybe a second a couple of times in a row. It?s an instant off and on sensation. Almost like if I were to hit a small ice patch then dry road again. I have experienced this from 1st all the way thru to 5th. It has done this when the bike is...
