    Is coolant refill order important?

    There’s no such thing as a stupid question. They’re are stupid answers. I’m assuming nothing came out of the drain cock when it was in the “ON” position. All that does is allow the coolant to flow without having to remove the plastic “ON” “OFF” bolt. Guarantee if you remove that piece there’s...

    Callipers overhaul problems.

    I rebuilt mine a couple years ago. Didn’t have any issues. I did split the caliper and unfortunately the gasket in between the halves did not come with the rebuild kit. And I lost one of them during the disassembly so I went to the local rubber gasket maker place and they cut me some new ones...

    Age of Vmax owners

    Geez... 38..... Bought my ‘97 6 years ago. Kinda hard to get on anything else at this point. Acquired my dad’s ‘05 Slow King earlier this year which is by no means any comparison however, it is nice not having to stop at the gas station every 100 miles or so. I’m starting to feel that it’s...

    Bike dead, battery charged.

    If be careful plugging vent holes. Seen too many batteries explode from sitting on shelves.

    strange random metal tap at idle that almost kills the bike

    Does it sound like a knock? Does it speed up when the rpms increase? I’m having the same issue and am hoping it’s not the piston rings. It started immediately after I filled up at the gas station. I’m running flat slides and plan on taking those apart sometime this week.

    Vinegar rust removal on a faux tank cover

    50/50 distilled white vinegar and water in the sonic cleaner for about 30 minutes did the calipers on my ‘97. Got all the old brake fluid and rubber from the old lines and gaskets for a very nice rebuild.

    Vmax in music ?

    I cant hear anything other than the bike when I start mine. Prolly due to the 4-1 UFO slash cut with no baffles...

    Bike dead, battery charged.

    That’s true but you’re leaving out other factors as well. Temperature and specific gravity also play a roll in how much voltage and amperage gets put on the battery charging. The amount is inversely proportional to environment. Just out curiosity, were you charging your battery in a climate...

    Bike dead, battery charged.

    I work with batteries everyday. Gel, Ni-Cd, Lead Acid... Batteries are hooked up to a charger 24/7 are are maintained every 30 days. I have 12v battery banks that are 14 years old. I also have 120v banks comprised of 9 PC680 cells that are 7 years or older still in service. You can leave...

    Full face helmet plus a N-95 mask and Nitrile gloves?

    I-95, wide open straight aways. This bike was designed for this. Still a few people in the DC metro area commuting (Including myself) but not as bad as it normally is. Kinda makes me not want to be essential with the way the weather has been for the last couple of weeks.

    Velocity stack

    Thanks Sean. Thinking I’m gonna go with the aluminum ones. Probably shorties for the back two so there’s not a repeat of my knees hittin them. PJMotorsports makes ones with screens/“filter” caps that I’m leaning towards.
