Same thing happened to me - after the new clutch lever, slippage occurred at anything over 3000 rpm. Since I hadn't done anything else, I immediately knew the issue. I was going to install my brass insert, but somehow it fell out and rolled/hid somewhere where it could be found when I no longer...

I found my 6800 mile 2002 for $4000 two years ago, there are similar deal from time to time. The only $6000 V-maxes I've seen on CL are mid 2000's with almost no miles, basically new. Those bikes in the original post wouldn't bring in $2000 here. Let's keep in mind that you can ask whatever...

Ah hah! I see what you did there! New York Steak!

Wow, those look great and sound way better than stock. You should sell sets like those, there is money to be made!

I celebrated 2 years with the BorgMax by ordering new Metzler Marathons. I put these on at 7100 miles, and now with over 15,000 on them, they are nearing end-of-life. 8000 miles of use isn't too bad. I'm really happy I wore them down evenly, not just eh center section. Chicken stripes were...

If you only want a stock, inexpensive sport tourer, the 1250 is fine. If you want to be able to do cool things to it and make it your own, get the Bandit 1200 (around forever, they can be had for less money and Dale Walker has a ton of go-fast parts for them). I made my Max more comfortable...

Re: Brand New WR Rearsets! Sold American! to Hijinx1812.

Re: Brand New WR Rearsets! Bump! With new lower price! $250.00 plus shipping :eek:

Here are my lil' monsters. Misty is a half Husky, half German Shepard mix that is about 74 lbs and can catch a bird 8 ft in the air. Molly is a 90 lb full Yellow Lab (Dudley) with pink nose and clear eyelashes. She retrieves Misty's lost balls when they go in the pool. The little fur ball is...

Re: R1 Calipers (Gold Dot) The Gold R1 calipers are now sold. Thanks everyone!

I got it from Amazon, I forgot the make. It was $49.95. Had to figure out how to mount it, just had to buy some bolts. It looks great, and the high beam is awesome, low beam is just 'ok' - still better than stock, though. Heh, almost anything is better than the early 80's lighting the Gen 1...

About 2 weeks ago I installed forward controls on my '02. This setup is much more comfortable (with the Morley Seat :biglaugh:), and somewhat surprisingly I feel more in control around corners than the stock setup. While I will miss the look of the WR Rearsets (for sale here) I was planning on...

Re: R1 Calipers (Gold Dot) Just an FYI, these calipers fit the the later model V-maxes. Earlier models would need an adapter.

Re: R1 Calipers (Gold Dot) AFAIK, just the color.

Re: Brand New WR Rearsets! Hi John, I actually don't know, as these were never installed. I bought them with a ton of other parts which I have slowly put on over the past year. I kept riding other motorcycles on demo days and slowly came to the realization that I prefer my legs out in front...

So true! Nothing like a bunch 'bike guys' that stare in disbelief, 'cause they've never seen anything like it, but the sound keeps them up at night....

Hey all, I recently I upgraded my front brakes to the Sumitumo 6-pots from Sean Morley. I now have a set of Yamaha R1 gold dot brake calipers up for sale. They come with the Galfer HH pads, which only have around 5000 miles on them, you should be able to get considerably more than that out of...

Hi all, I have decided to sell my WR Rearsets. I bought them over a year ago, but never put them on as I started thinking about how I'm getting old and the forward controls (which used to seem dangerously weird) now seem to put me in a nice comfortable position. So I ordered and installed the...

I like Double Over Head Cams and I like pushrods. DOHC can allow higher rpm due to the the lower reciprocating mass, and higher rpm can yield more power. However, the extreme high rpm allowed by DOHC doesn't seem to be really taken advantage of on bike engines of more than 1000cc. There is...

When I bought my current 2002 Max the end of October 2015, it had 6800 miles on it. So in 13 years, the previous owner only went 6800 miles on it, Today I hit a milestone - at 13600, I have doubled the miles it had when I got it, in roughly 1 year 9 months. It's a little different too...
