Hy guys, first of all I would like to apologize for the bother, but recently I had a series of annoying issues with my Max that are really going to make me desire to sell it.... although I really love this bike from when I was 13 Y. Old INTRO: A friend of mine tested my bike ( 1996 EU VMAX 1...

hi all, since I'm having a lot of issues with the original regulator/rectifier I've decided to replace it with the famous shindengen 847 ( the original unit, not the chinese cheap one ). following the suggestion on other posts I'm using 10AWG wires for red/black wires that will go from rectifier...

hi ! I've pull out carbs on my max and during the cleaning operations I noticed that a couple of diaphragms are warped / pinched. They didn't have no holes or rips ( fortunately ) so I can still use them after proper celaning , but I still looked for a replacement part anyway. As Mr. Sean said...

hi all , I would like to mount an external oil temperature gauge on my '96 max, but i need it to be the smallest possible ( ideally 35mm in diam. , like the "Marshall" oil pressure gauge filled with glycerin) and I can't find nothing suitable. I already have the oil pressure gauge mounted and...

a couple of years ago I had to completely rebuild the front braking system, so I swapped the original master cylinder for a brembo RCS , upraded to braided lines and add couple of FZ1 calipers that fit perfectly on my bike ( a 1gen max '96). I had a little accident with the original config (...

hi everybody, recently I was convinced by you guys to not go on the Upside down fork due to cost and marginal benefits ( if compared to a good upgrade of the original fork) , so I went on that way and I’m pretty satisfied so far. Now it is the time of the rear shocks....looking at the price a...

Hi everybody, I was thinking about a fan upgrade and a manual switch to better cool the engine. The only supplier of aluminium fan blade for the 1gen v-max seems to be Muzzys Fan # HT-H5 Unfortunately I cannot find this fan at a decent price and the official Muzzys website has no reference for...

hi everybdy, after searching for something about 1 year for a cheap upside-down front fork conversion finally I convinced myself that an original fork good restoration / upgrade was the best way to go. In order to chieve a good result I changed almost everything except the main tube and the...

Hi everybody, since I had the vmax I was fallen in love with modding , and so far I've installed almost everything I can purchase at an affordable price in Italy. Now I'm struggling in the optimization process because seems that there aren't any skilled mechaninc in my area and I'm forced to do...

I've read a lot about the issues related to the installation of a fuel level indicator on the gen.1 vmax, and some days ago I've found this on the bay : their website seems to be in maintenance mode , but it's working and seems that they are selling a lot of this product. I know that this...

hello guys, just yesterday I was installing the new mv agusta tail on my vmax , I had some issues with the turning lights ( ended up in purchasing a new smaller set to fit the small holes ) but now I'm in trouble with a big issue : the lifting handle.... I'm a small old guy and for sure I do...

Being an inexperienced rider I made a huge mess with my rear master cylinder. Long story short : I've decided to make some maintenance to the rear master cylinder and ordered the kit. Swapped all the internal parts with the new one and mount it back on the bike. as soon as I tried to pump...

hi everybody, recently I was wondering if this kind of mod is useful on a Vmax, but being myself not so expert about engines I would like to know what you think about it. Premise : I tried to look around in this forum and on the web , but seems that there is only a pic of a heavy modded vmax...
