As y'all know, I had a 1999 max that I spruced up (with Kyle's help) and then sold it. While sitting here looking at pictures of her, I decided to throw together a little video of the transformation. She was sharp! I know the guy that bought her loves her so that's good to know. I put a LOT...

Hey guys, I have a chance to buy a bike for the wife for a fairly good deal but it's a rebuilt title bike. The damage the bike had has been all repaired with new Yamaha parts. It'll save me about half of what a new one would cost but I just have reservations I suppose. Thoughts?

Hey guys, as some of y'all know, I sold both my Max and my wife's bike to take care of some bills and a sudden thing that popped up which made me sell off the toys to facilitate dealing with it. Also I am looking to move and wanted to do some home repairs. In the middle of all of this, I can't...

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-motorcyclist-survives-250-foot-plunge-off-cliff/ Rrrrrright.......the steering locked up :rofl_200: Idiot is lucky to be alive! He chose a bad line, pulls in the clutch instead of the brake, cow jumped over the moon. The FZ-10 is not the problem, operator error!

As y'all know, I've done a lot of stuff already to my 99 and it is still ongoing. As you may recall from previous posts I have been getting terrible mileage from the bike. She finally runs reliably but just drinks a shit ton of fuel and I always smell gas. I had flirted with the idea of taking...

I was on Kyle's Max Motorvation Facebook page and there is a lady on there that has this Vmax and I freaking dig it! My wife saw it and wants it. I need to find out what parts (seat, fender, windscreen) these are and see if I can find a reasonably priced Vmax for her and make her somewhat of a...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5kPOKseyjk Read the comments by "Yamaha SR650". I know some people are not a fan of our beloved Gen1's and 2's but DAMN! This guy acts like Yamaha done took his lunch money, shot his dog, stole his car and took his wife. It's quite entertaining. I...

I don't know why really, but I dig this bike! I know it's not a cruiser but I like that it has a more upright riding position than say an R1 would have. It has plenty of juice as well. I think it'd be fun to ride. I've read that people say that it's ugly, looks like a bug or a...

I didn't want to hijack Shawn's thread about Starter relay relocating and his install of his R/R so I decided to make my own thread. I opted to press the easy button and just put my new R/R under the back part of the seat where the little tool pouch would go if I had one. I just seemed easier...

Howdy y'all! I have finally gotten some v-stax for my bike, I went with the short ones from Exactrep. I figured they'd look better (to me) than the long ones. I can say that I am happy with the look of them. I also made some "screens" to go with them. I got the idea from this forum, from...

Hi guys, have any of you ever seen a battery drain as soon as you take the tender off of it? The reason I ask is that I am having some sort of issue going on where I HAVE to leave the bike on a battery tender. Today I pulled the tender off and measured volts at 14.3 after it sat for a few...

Ok guys, fix one issue and another pops up. Maybe this one is no big deal but I noticed that my tail light flickers when I start the bike and grows brighter as I rev it up. It's a new LED tail light if that helps the diagnosis. I never noticed it before but I have the bike parked next to a wall...

What would you guys say my bike is worth? You've seen the transformation done to her since I've gotten her but let me refresh your memory. It's a 1999 Carbon Edition that has 7900 miles on it. The carbs were cleaned and re-synced right before I bought it. Has a new battery and I have done...

In my short time owning my V-Max I have taken both wheels off, both fenders, the seat, the faux tank (the easiest thing obviously), both rotors and modified the brake light bracket to install an LED tail light. Reassembled it all and life was good. Recently, the clutch has become "the next...

It has been a long time coming but I just now got around to using this stuff on the bike today. I was waiting for my new emblems to come in before I did anything. They came in yesterday so today I took the old emblems that were bent to hell and back off the "tank" and put the new ones on...

I bought a bike for my wife from some friends for a really good deal. It ran flawless! My wife has been riding the bike around the neighborhood, getting a feel for it. She hasn't ridden much because she was waiting on me to get my bike back together. I told her that she can ride around the hood...

When I first joined here I told y'all that I was going to have some questions, mostly stupid ones :biglaugh: I also said that I know a thing or two about cooking. Barbecue/BBQ/Bar-B-Q or whatever you want to call it, in particular. After chatting with CaptainKyle a bit, I found out that he...

Hi guys, I am back with another question for y'all :rofl_200: I have bought a "flasher" for the brake light. It basically makes the brake flash fast a few times, then a long flash then steady. It's all in effort to be visible...

Does anyone know of a place in the states that sells V-Stax? I'd like to get a set of the short ones but buying from exactrep and paying the fees is going to cost a small fortune.
