    Puncture in tire.. Replace? Or Plug?

    Hey again, sorry if it seems like I'm hogging the forum. I'll try not to have any further concerns with my max, lol. So low and behold I spotted this on my rear tire. New tire? Or a plug will work ok? I'm kind of paranoid about the idea of a rear tire disintegrating from under me...

    Vmax running on 3 (or 2??) cylinders

    Hello friends. Before I describe my issue I will add disclaimer I am extremely non-tech so pardon my rather layman (and lame) attempt of an explanation here… So I’ve got a 99 vmax in pristine condition, about 2 months ago. (Many thanks to a local member who gave the bike a once-over and...

    Washing / cleaning / corrosion protection

    I'm going to bathe the max for the 1st time today (unpredictable Florida weather permitting of course) To my horror I spotted this on my rear turn lights, argh. A buddy who rode with me yesterday suggested rubbing with Coca Cola. :ummm: My last bike (vstar 1100) suffered this same fate and...

    Windshield (yes, another thread but with a twist)

    Good morning / evening / afternoon... I'm looking for a windshield for my 99 max, for longer rides. I spent a fair amount of time whittling down my options and trying to find the right balance between one that offers enough protection (full body + head...not just chest) and one that doesn't...

    Gen 1 vs Diavel

    Today I was taking a local cruise on my new (to me) 99 Vmax. Some bozo on a Diavel zoomed by me, gunning it loudly as he went by (and cranking his throttle madly at the stoplight). This is in the middle of heavy traffic, mind you. Got me wondering, how does a Gen 1 stack up against a Diavel...

    Stupid Newbie Tricks pt 2 - broke my only key

    So today I go to clean out my garage and pull the max out. I unlock the steering...but leave the key in the lock. (doh!) As a result, when I pulled my key out, it was bent like a banana. I went to try to gently bend it back into shape and snap...broke it in half. NO, I don't have a spare (if...

    Stupid newbie antics - Sissy bar removal

    Hi. I just got a 1999 Vmax from a local dealer yesterday. Everything on the bike was just right - EXCEPT for the huge sissy bar. The damn thing just kills 50% of what the bike is supposed to be, to me at least. For solo riding I'd like to be without it - and pop it on again for occasional...

    My New (to me) 99 Vmax

    Hi yolz, Hailing for Ft Lauderdale here. Got my Max yesterday, from a local dealer a few miles away. 1999, with 20k miles. HUGE thanks for Fire Medic, who was my vmax acquisition "mentor" and gave me a big thumbs up on the bike after taking it for a spin. A seemingly endless well of vmax...

    Interest in Gen 1 - need advice on what to look for or ask

    Hi - First time on this forum, and if things work in my favor, will be the first of many! After having first set sights on the Max more than 20 years ago, I was in love with the Max (is that gay?) - and now I'm finally in a position to buy one. I live in S Florida (Ft Lauderdale) and...
