If you expect power the way a Vmax was designed. DO NOT expect it from Cobra.

There are no words, nor thoughts to give to help. I lost my dad and even though he was 98. I miss him everyday. I am sorry for your emense loss to so many pieces of your life. It is truly heavy weight to heal from. My prayers are with you brother.

It's an 09...it says it in the text.

Greetings. Where are you located?

Gentleman, may I ask you what the site is that you're referring to? The VMF vendors? BTW, the Vmax sounds awesome. It's hard to keep them synced, but when they are, the bike is and sounds healthy. Thanks guys

Hey there. I see you have some nice set of Dale Walker headers and pipes on your V Max.My 85 Vmax was what Dale used to make the original measurements. They sure run nice and make it sound amazing.

Don't use IPhone. Haha. Actually I keep mine in my pocket. However I have looked for mounts too, but haven't found any that done already block the speedo. It's very little bar space to work with as it is.

Factory oil is Yamalube 10w30. Only for break in. Depending on the temp and ground temp, you shouldn't even run lighter than 40w.

I've owned an 85 Vmax before the legal age when I was 17. Back then Yamaha would not allow a minor to purchase or test one under 21 years old. I only got one because my dad got it and gave it to me. I rode it for 3 months before I took it it Kearney Nebraska Dragstrip and ran a 10.33 with it...

Definitely at the very least, make sure you don't have a tear in the diaphragm. They are very thin and easily cracked. Also assure you have lubed the spring and resistant springs so they can adjust freely. With corrosion or road grime they can easily add to the friction and sync ability is out...

Yes it's the same rear from 85-97 on Vmax-Venture

I've never had those on my 09 as if yet. But I am very impressed with the Shinkos. Made the bike feel like a different model and not a Vmax. Crazy quick and smooth to cruise too.

I'm located in Mansfield TX. If anyone wants to meet half way between you and me... No matter who you are. Haha. I'm game for a ride. I'm new to the state of Texas. So I could use the introduction. My Email is [email protected]

My 85 had 165, 000 when I sold it. It took many rides to and from Sturgis, Daytona, CA, and so many states. I had all the problems everyone else had, a love hate kinda thing. But it was easy to diagnose. The biggest problem was the fuel pump that left me stranded, first and only time. It was a...

Yes make a Vmax even quicker. Woohooo. But yes it would open up plethora of choices and possibly cheaper as well. But... That would be the only advantage. You'll be lowering the center of gravity which is easier but going over speed bumps you could be sacrificing your headers or your...

My question to you is. Have you been able to duplicate the same scenario again? If not then possibly you did put it in gear with pant leg moving it backwards while the kickstand was down or the kill switch like has already been mentioned it. But if you haven't been able to duplicate it again and...

I'm not going to argue this point with you. All I know is my Vmax had to have a starter replaced not the starter clutch but the starter motor because it experienced the exact same thing. Almost as if the starter was froze or slow cranking and then it had to break free. So in short I replace a...

I agree with you I have experienced every one of those on my 85 including the shaft being snapped. And second gear Etc. But the second Generations are for the most part bulletproof but I did have starter issues mine would not turn over correctly on the first shot until the second or third time...

Yes I agree. I think there's a coating on the tires and you just need to scrub them or so come. Most Yamaha shops as well as Honda suck some in 409 and lets the oil drip off of them. And then you can scrub them. That don't put a tire coating on them because that's possibly what is caused by that...
