So, I'm at my wits end and am actually contemplating taking my bike in to get fixed (or at least troubleshooted). I've never used a mechanic to service either of my bikes before, so don't know anyone. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic who is knowledgeable on 1st gen vmax? I'm...

I know this same type of post has shown up a thousand times, but I've been reading through many of them, and don't seem to fit my same circumstances. Been having nothing but issues on my bike these last few months. The problem is intermittent enough that I think I got it fixed, only to come...

So, got the rear tire swapped out (rode over a nail!!!), but I pulled it myself to save a few bucks. Have done it once or twice before. When I was putting things back, I think I lost a spacer. I've looked all over my garage though, and cannot find anything. This is what I have. From the...

So I know this topic has been covered various times, but want to make sure I understand what I think I should do before I proceed. I've been having the occasional stumble/hesitation when my bike is very warm (not overheating or anything, but fully in the warm zone), that if I run at about 5k...

I've been looking around the forums for about an hour, because I know my question has been asked before. I'm sure I'm just not using the right search terms.. so sorry for the repeat :) I am syncing my carbs for the first time. I am using the weber sync tool that sits on top of the carb...
