    Float set, 28.5mm suggested so what would 30 mm act like?

    Float height is critical to good performing carbs. As Sean pointed out accuracy is important. The only way to know is to wet check them.

    1st Gen V-Max My bike

    Even though the rim is larger the overall size is smaller due to the much smaller sidewalls of a radial tire. So yes higher rpm and …..better acceleration. My opinion, not many of us play around at 140 very long but we do whack it as often as we can so for me acceleration trumps top speed.

    Up to date tire recomendation please

    I ran metzler me 888 for many years. Plenty of grip and tire life. If I had not converted to radials I'd sill be running them.

    New Sissy Bar Bag

    I have been using an older version of that bag for 11 years and it’s still going strong. I wouldn’t hesitate to get another one.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    My advice is contact Sean Morley and for pretty short money get one of his upgraded brake kits. The most noticeable in the saddle upgrade you can bolt on. (Not including nitrous of course lol

    '85 - Mark's Exhaust 4-2 with SuperTrapp's

    Absolutely [email protected] He doesn’t respond particularly quickly but be patient and he will get to you. I would not run any other exhaust on my Vmax. I have a 4 into 2 with 12”cans 3.5” outlet no down turn. My best brother Steve o has 14” cans same openings no down turn. You gotta...

    1st gear deceleration shudder/shimmy

    In first gear without a slipper clutch it’s possible your rear tire is locking up a bit and causing the shudder and shimmy.

    Tried a stoppie

    I converted to the sumitomo 6 pots and can not recommend it enough. It doesn’t stop like my gsxr but it’s a massive improvement over the stock setup.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Thank you Kyle. It’s been quite the road to recovery for both myself and my bike. I am stoked to get that gorgeous body work back on the bike and go for a rip. As long as I’m shouting out I have to include Sean and Steve-O without whom my bike would still be in pieces.

    Kerker or Supertrapp slip-ons? Help me decide

    I like the sound of the super traps best. However unlike most who seem to focus on how our bikes sound at idle I prefer to gauge the exhaust note at wide open throttle ripping past 7000 rpm. That’s the sound that gets me.

    Terry I hate to point out the obvious but this is a Yamaha Vmax forum. You might have better luck on a virago forum.
