    knocking?

    I just got a PM that made me remember this thread! I took the bike to a Yamaha Dealer whose mechanic has been working on Yammies for 20+ years, he was happy to see another V-Max. After a day of playing with the bike and me being on the edge of my seat, it was concluded that the sound was...

    *digs out the can of seafoam* Just a factor in all problem solving XD

    Finally installed the Jardines

    Ill post pics today :biglaugh: Completely forgot, lol... If the popping/different timing on the right pipe is normal (left one doesn't make the same sound tho), any ideas on the rpms shooting up about 200?

    Finally installed the Jardines

    Well I installed the Jardines on my '04 Max. I have to say I'm impressed with them! Nice build quality and a good sound when you get on the throttle. And at idle they are not loud at all which is great for those early morning starts and letting it warm up. Don't need the neighbors calling out...

    knocking?

    .. God I hope not, I am not technically saavy enough to do that nor rich enough XD Anyone around the Atlanta area want to come by and hear it? :ummm: Also only has 7800 miles on it..

    turn signals acting odd?

    So nothing to worry about? these are dual fillament(sp?) bulbs in back and front, with the fronts being the running lights still, tiny little dual contacts on the bottom.

    turn signals acting odd?

    Anyone else's turn signals go the normal pace for the first 10-15 blinks and then speed up a few times, slow back down and speed up again? The stockers are not on my bike but the new ones still use a regular bulb. Short somewhere in the wiring or?

    knocking?

    Nope it doesnt go away when I pull the clutch. Its not really loud, you cant hear it if your standing away from the bike but it definetly is there if your sitting on it. It may just be normal as the person above this post said. Sounds like a lifter or something but the previous owner said its...

    UFO Pipes

    Not to thread jack but anyone got an opinion on UFO's slashcut mufflers? $200 for the single piece version seems pretty cheap! Not looking to really increase HP, just want the sound :biglaugh: Just worried if I need to do anything else to the bike if you use them and/or if they are any good to...

    Projector beams?

    http://www.trailtech.net/3832-EX-00.html Interesting setup I found, wonder how it'd fit/look. The adjustability of aiming the light is awesome, can do it on the fly.

    knocking?

    Does anyone elses VMAX make a sort of knocking sound during idle? not very loud but definetly a light mechanical thud in the idle ? hard to explain but I just noticed it, and I just picked this Vmax up today so Im hoping all is well :ummm:

    The Vmax seat thread! The all seat thread!

    Best seat for travel? So of all the seat options Ive seen, which ones have you all found to be the best for traveling on? 500+ mile trips are in my future with a lovely '04 Im picking up monday but Id rather not be sitting on that barrel of a stocker.

    So I found a max for sale..

    Well I finally found one that seems a good buy, 7700 miles on an '04 that is $6500 obo. has T boost and new turn signals thats it. Part of me though is a bit discouraged, I've never dealt with a carb'd bike. And this one has 4! Am I going to pay out the back end on maintaining this? I really...

    Projector beams?

    HID would be nicer :) Let me know how that turns out! I'd wait for that. If it doesn't produce a ton of glare it'd be a winner. I've found most kits that fit in regular housings don't work well, the light goes everywhere...

    Projector beams?

    Anyone retrofitted a projector pod on their VMAX? Found a Hella Projector driving light that looks promising for a mod. Anyone tried this yet with the large projector beam kits that are not ment for fog lights? Pics? :biglaugh:

    Im torn on what to do.

    My bike AND 6k for a vmax? mmm Not that desperate for one ;) Im looking at an 01 for 5.5k, and selling my bike for 7.5k. Honestly Im selling it because I cant ride that agressive of a position, it's just not comfortable and I miss the fun I had on a standard..

    Im torn on what to do.

    Yea gas mileage is a downer, but not the final deciding factor. Thanks for the tip on the foot rests, will remember that. Found about 5 Vmax's for sale locally, just debating on which one to get, a few have some accessories already and a few are stock still.

    Im torn on what to do.

    Awesome, good to hear it can be done, really want to get a standard and get on something that sits lower than my current bike, but not give up some power :) Anyone know somebody who wants a 2007 Daytona 675? :)

    Im torn on what to do.

    So I've had a '92 Honda Hawk, a '98 F3, a '06 Yamaha FZ-1, a '06 Ducati Sport Classic '00 and a '07 Triumph Daytona 675.. And I think after all those, I've decided sport bikes just aren't my calling. So I was looking at the Vmax or possibly a cruiser, the only problem is; I can't seem to...
