I recently installed the UFO 4 into 1 Dragstar on my Max. The bike is new, about 300 miles at the time of this message. The carbs have not been touched, no jet ket. The bike runs great too. I ran my finger inside the exhaust tip and got black soot on my finger. Like I said, the bike runs...

I was at my local Yamaha dealer a few days ago where I recently purchased my 07 Max. I talked with the service advisor about getting my bike jetted, possibly stage 7. He said he recommends a stage 1 or stage 2, that's what they do them all at. I said, they don't make a stage 2 for the V-Max...

I don't know, I've only ridden my bike with the baffle and it's very loud, without the baffle in it would probably be just plain ridiculous, IMO. I would think that one might be able to put another type of baffle in it to quiet it down though if needed. But with or without the stock baffle it...

To answer your question, Frosty72, the pipes are ceramic coated from the cylinder heads to the 2-1 merge collector, then 304 stainless including the muffler..........here's the link: http://www.ufocycles.com/UFO_Page.php?title=UFO%20Vmax%20DragStar%20Series%20Exhaust&type=product As I said...

I'm thinking about getting a set of the highway bars from Scootworks. They come with pegs installed, thought I might get the black ones to help stretch my long legs. Has anyone seen/have these? If so, pics and opinions would be appreciated. Thanks Whip...

Tractor Supply has a good selection of the allen head type bolts. I know when I put my sissy bar on, I misplaced (lost) one of the factory allen head bolts. I went to Tractor Supply the next day, they had 'em. Whip

I finished installing the UFO Dragstar today, this thing it is LOUD. It was a pain in the a-- but it was worth it IMO. Everything else still stock, I noticed I didn't have to choke the bike to get it to start. I live pretty high up in the mountains, elevation approximately 2500 feet. I took...

I like it, wish it had a longer wheelbase, but it looks like a modernized V-Max to me. I don't like the V-Rod headlight though. How many horses does this thing supposedly have? Whip

Mark, I share your views to the tee, 100%. Good post!!!!!!!:clapping::clapping::clapping: Whip

I got it off, your right that bolt was holding me up, it's real easy to miss. Thanks. BTW, I fired it up with open headers, whoa!!!!!! That thing sounds mean. When I get home from work tonight I'll put the new system on. I'm gonna sell the stock sytem, I could never imagine wanting to put it...

I've sold three......all worked out great, just make sure you take lots of pictures from different angles and be totally honest about every little flaw (if any). There is always someone looking for something you have to sell, maybe not in your local area but on E-Bay you have the world to sell...

I started to remove my stock exhaust but need help. I first removed the (2) bolts that hold the muifflers on and loosened up the (4) clamps, but the mufflers didn't want to come off. Any ideas? I don't have a service manual, so if somebody would be so kind to post step by step instructions...

Wow, talk about fast shipping. I got it exactly 24 hours after paying for it. Maybe tomorrow I'll put it on. Bike should lose a few pounds in the process, center stand has to be removed but can be bolted back on for service work. That's what made up my mind, not to mention the sound over...

I'm 38 going on 58, that's what working in a penitentiary will do to you. I really get a kick out of the age differences even 10 years makes. Where did all the years go? :ummm: I'm getting old!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Frank, that's why I like this forum. Good information. I don't know anything about the SASY but I will look into it as well as the Stage 7.:flagwaver:
