    Limited Tire Selection Vmax 1700

    I've been looking for tires for the new ride, the ones on it now are stock and from what I've felt aren't as sticky as I'd like, this bike has a lot of get up and go, and she spins the back wheel pretty quickly. Any suggestions for stock size that are sticky? I'm not extremely worried about...

    Parts For Sale 2009 Vmax 1700 Cat- 4300 miles

    I don't know if this will generate any interest or not, but if anyone needs one of these, I just pulled this one off a 2009, it had 4300 miles on it when the cat came off, so there should be a lot of life left in it. I've got no idea what it's worth, one for 500 up on Ebay, which I'm sure is...

    2009 Vmax- Which oil should I go with

    Being a Gen 1 rider and loving Rotella, I was thinking I'd use it in the gen2, is there any reason not to? Should I go synthetic? I would think with this new a machine, that should be ok, but I wanted to ask for experiences here. I just got the recall done for the oil pump (Just got the bike...

    So I just got the new to me 2009 Vmax, and I've only ridden it the distance from Philly to Harrisburg so far, that was her voyage to her forever home. :) I LOVE the bike, it's had the Moore Mafia flash to the ECU, and Dominator slip ons, but they left the CAT. The guy I bought it from is...

    Picking up my GenII

    Well, I'm finally taking the plunge. I've had a gen one (2 of them, actually) since 1996, bought my first one in 1996, 1985 vmax ended up selling her in 2003, then bought my second gen 1 in 2013. Tomorrow I pick up a 2009 with a little over 4000 miles logged on her. Can't wait to feel how she...

    Braided steel front brake lines

    Hey all, quick question, I picked up a set of braided steel lines that were used on Ebay, they supposedly came off a max. I have a 1985, so I've got the old brakes and rotors, I just bought the adapters to allow me to fit the bigger rotors and the next gen dual piston calipers, and I've got it...

    Oh the fun - Carbs, Air filters, oh my

    So, I got the "lets make this thing run right finally" bug after tearing apart the carbs on an xs650 special that my daughters boyfriend just got, and cleaning them. I have had a carb/cyl that hasn't been quite right since I got the bike 5 years ago, and it's just gotten worse. I just did the...

    Rotors on 85 need replaced

    I have the need to replace my 85 rotors, I'm going to go with just replacing them this time, upgrading to more stopping power later when I have more green in the pocket. I just noticed it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to use a normal motorcycle jack on the max since the pipes sit lower...

    One carb slide not moving

    Hi all, so I have a problem carb where the slide isn't moving, I checked the rubber at the top where the spring is tensioned and haven't found any holes or issues, but the other three respond to the throttle without issue and this one does not move. I made sure it wasn't just bound up by lubing...

    Gas shooting out into the left scoop

    Ok, I have a strange one here. I haven't been riding my max a lot this year, but she's been out about once every few weeks. I just added some seafoam to the tank and wanted to make sure it made it's way into the carbs before covering her for the colder weather. I started the bike up, she was...

    Shotgun only needed on one carb

    So I have one carb that just won't be happy, from what people here have told me they advise the shotgun. I've looked though the instructions, and while it doesn't seem too bad, it also doesn't seem like something I want to try on my own for the first go round. So, I live in Middletown, pa, and...

    One carb not consistent

    I have one carb/cyl that's not firing regularly, pops at times, if I hit it then let off it will backfire a bit. Had the carbs synced last year by the dealer, after I had done it, dealer said they were all outta whack, not sure how since my meter had them all pretty darn close, but figured...
