    Exhaust Recommendations for Gen2

    If you are keeping the existing oem exhausts then I used the Dominator de-cat link pipes - $325 on Ebay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/V-MAX-1700-DE-CAT-DECAT-Mid-Link-Pipe-Dominator-Exhaust-Race-2009/282588554767?hash=item41cb97260f:g:J24AAOSwTspc~37B I found the existing straight thro' exhausts...

    I just removed the existing bar-end weights and the new mirror bolted straight in on my 2015 model

    2014 to 2019

    There was a slight change with the 2015 30th Anniversary edition which came with Akrapovic exhausts as standard.

    2nd gen aftermarket blinkers - Who am I ???

    These are Yamaha after market indicators with integral brake lights (rear) and daytime lights (front). Although they are listed as other Yamaha models, they are universal, I have them fitted to my vmax...

    Removing handlebar inserts for bar end mirrors.

    Ah, got you now! :rolleyes: My bar end mirrors could use the existing insert to bolt to - lucky I guess :D

    Looks like another great run from you Farid at 10.61 secs coming first in your category, well done! :D

    Removing handlebar inserts for bar end mirrors.

    This is the oem bar end fitted to my 2015 model which just came straight out o_O

    Servicing

    Good thinking but no. First pic below is from the US handbook and second is from Euro handbook (taken from different parts of the maintenance schedule), which show both miles and kilometres.

    Removing handlebar inserts for bar end mirrors.

    My bar-ends came straight out and I fitted Kuryakyn mirrors in their place.

    Biohazard cycles???

    These Dominator Y pipes are $333 plus shipping. I have fitted them to my standard mufflers, bit fiddly to do which ever system you use but they do fit...

    Servicing

    For those who may not be aware, the US version service intervals are 4000 miles but the Euro version service intervals are 6000 miles. Yamaha UK were not forthcoming with a reason when asked why :confused:

    2012 for sale and it's a steal

    Maybe that's why the mileage is low - it has only been ridden in first gear, not realising there are 4 more in the box! :D

    LED H4?

    I think that is the difference. If you buy a complete headlight where the lens is made for the led bulb then it's a winner but keeping the existing lens and replacing the halogen bulb with an led bulb can never work properly. You may be happy with the result and it will be brighter, but it will...

    2020 VMAX

    Not being continued in Europe though due to emission laws because its the same old 10+ years old engine that needs upgrading. See no sign of that happening :(

    Engine noise

    Had a ticking type of noise once. I was convinced it was one of the cams but turned out to be just a header pipe clamp nut that was loose and easily fixed.

    Gen2 riser

    I tried a pair of similar risers because I wanted to pull the bars back towards me, putting less strain on the forearms. When I fitted them in a pull-back position, they then sat over the two rubber buttons below, and the cables were stretched to point where turning the bars was restricted. So...

    LED H4?

    I had a look at your photos showing low and high beam lighting - looks impressive. However, your round headlight lens will be different to the Gen2 lens so it's difficult to say whether it will work or not without installing. Otherwise looks great! :D

    LED H4?

    Can't say what is legal in the US but here in the UK an led main bulb will not pass the annual government inspection test as the lens on the headlight is specific for the H4 halogen bulb. So, with the led when you switch on main beam from dipped beam, you do not get a concentrated beam but a...

    Think I'll stick with my Kuryakyn bar end mirrors, expensive - yes, unobstructed rear view - yes, enhanced sexy styling - definitely yes :p
