Craft, the Japanese design firm that designed the gen 2 Vmax and helped with the gen 1 Vmax apparently released a super limited run of upgrade kits for the gen 1 that was officially endorsed by Yamaha? At least that is the claim at the bottom of this article...

I'll be in and around Route 129 this weekend - I'll have my Vmax and a few other bikes. Last ride on the Vmax before it's torn down and reborn over this winter. Holler at me if anyone will be around that area and we can link up for a ride.

I have been meaning to upgrade the front end of my Vmax for several years but have been bogged down with other projects. I had originally planned to go with an R1 or a Hayabusa USD conversion but I really like the look of the massive 52mm standard gen 2 forks. Has anyone done this before? It...

This bike looks familiar to me for some reason... https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/d/boyce-2001-vmax-pcw-custom/6867373574.html

Why does there need to be an intercooler if it is supercharged, it must be turbocharged as well? Why? http://jpx.responsejp.com/jpx/images/2004/04/02/59155_1.jpg?fit=normal

http://smd.craigslist.org/mcy/5579077308.html Hard to tell from pictures but pretty much never seen motor paint that nice on an 85.

Considering selling my Vmax that I built ground up to fund surgery for my 180lbs Rottweiler who is suffering from elbow displasia (veterinarians are thieves). Check my profile for build pics and close ups of the finished bike. No expense was spared and nothing was left untouched. It's got a 95...

Question: Does having a stage 7 jet kit affect the CmHg levels when syncing carbs? I reinstalled the Vboost system so that I could close the butterflys and sync the carbs but try as I might I cannot get the CmHg levels to the factory recommended 17cm or 170mm. Right now they are perfectly in...

I am done building my daily Vmax and have enough parts left over to build another one. I probably don't have the money right now but for the next Vmax build I'd like to do something different, I've noticed people talking about turbo kits over the years, has anyone actually come out with one?

That must be some jet kit... http://easternshore.craigslist.org/mcy/5343675617.html

Pretty cool - check it out. http://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=49494&start=15

Anyone around the DMV willing to brave the cold for a day trip up to Skyline Drive? I finally got this bike finished and running well. Looks like next weekend is supposed to be near 60.

This guy has had this Vmax posted up for a long time, maybe someone else already posted it up to the forum - but if not take a look. I'd love to see a video of it running. Lord knows how much money he spent. Personally, I would much rather build my own that buy one that's already built - but if...

I read the sticky and I'm going to try it out, I couldn't find copper than wasnt exorbitantly expensive so I went with some 2" stainless exhaust pipe from autozone for 16 bucks, I also found that the 2" fernco fittings were 2 and a 1/4 so I went with 1" 1/2 ferncos that fit with a little...

Everyone has different tastes so I'm not knocking the guy but my only question is - why? Looks like he has flat slides but why in the world does it sound like that - something ain't right. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ5J_wxGfLE

Some of you may remember this post http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=37688, well after tinkering I finally got the bike all back together - went to start it up in the garage and had a hell of a time getting to to fire. Finally got it to fire and it sounded like a 9mm was going off every...

Quick question, Is it possible to remove the rear camchain tensioner to install a new gasket without having to go through the timing procedure and subsequently removing the front camchain tensioner/setting the timing? The reason for doing this is I am experiencing a leak from the tensioner...

I build motorcycles in my spare time. I bought a 1989 vmax about 4 years ago for my brother, after riding it once I decided he doesn't deserve a bike like that. I rode it for awhile and then laid it down on coming off a ramp on the highway (it's not a sportbike). It sat in the garage for about a...

I saw a similar frame mod on the internet and decided to give it a go. Forgive the crappy welds, I had a buddy clean them up before painting the frame. I haven't gotten the bike running yet so I can't say if it does anything but it was a pretty easy thing to do if you have that part of the...

Over the past 3 years I rebuilt my 89 Vmax top to bottom, after everything was bolted on/plugged back in, I went to start the bike and ran into a problem. All lights come on, fuel pump runs, but when I press the starter button nothing happens. The headlight turns off (signals and tail stay on)...
