    Front tire life.

    Does anyone else have issues with the Gen 2 eating front tires before the back? When I first got the bike, it had the original tires on the bike. For the dealer to make the deal, they had to put new tires on the bike. They installed Metzlers. Now...at about 8500, the tires needed to be replaced...

    Whatcha Carrying?

    All my motorcycle riding years, I used to carry a backpack with me. In it, I carried my laptop, rain gear, cold weather gear and some other small items. On the side of my backpack is a fantastic pocket for my 1911 45 caliber pistol. Was an easy(for me) draw and always there. The other pocket...

    Mileage Log.

    When my 1982 Yamaha Virago was my primary rider 20 years ago, I bought it with 7000 miles on it. An engine upgrade from 750cc to 920cc when it had about 11K on it, it rolled all the way to 100K before I retired it. I documented the mileage by photos. With that, I decided to do the same thing...

    Riding Pegs.

    There was another thread about riding pegs. At that time, I was waiting to close on my land. So I didnt want to spend any money until it was mine. Once I closed, I went and purchased the front riding pegs and the rear passenger relocation peg brackets. While in that thread, someone asked to post...

    What are you wearing?

    I am not the type to ride the full armored gear most want to see motorcyclists wearing. However, I am not a moron. I do ride with my bucket and leather jacket for base protection. My original jacket was the typical motorcycle leather jacket. After 20 years and 200K miles in it....the jacket...

    How to be cheap, yet mobile.

    In about 8 days, fuel in our state soared $0.75. Now I have always driven trucks and paid that $4 a gallon back in 2009. We are currently at $4.19 a gallon with costs sure to rise in the coming days. So...with warm weather, means I can save money by riding the bike. But how do I save more...

    (C)Max?

    Well not really. New toy came extremely cheap. 2021 Coleman CT200U-EX mini bike with title. Unknown hours or mileage. But starts, runs, and has great power. Since it came with a title, doubt it was stolen since the address I bought it from and the title matched. Wouldnt have considered it...

    1 Year Anniversary

    Its been a wonderful year with the Gen 2. Bought it September 15, 2020 at the height of this nonsense. Bought it with 5855 miles, 151XX right now. I took the bar end mirrors off. I couldnt see behind me without removing my hand from the handlebars. Just a set of long stem chromes on there at...

    Need a Quick Disconnect Idea.

    My Gen 2 has that low rise seat back for the passenger seat. Which for me just riding by myself is more than sufficient. However, with life going on, I find myself in need of a rear passenger sissy back. Since there arent alot of options for the Gen 2 and I tend to be crafty, I built my sissy...

    Pressure Sensor Testing

    My Gen 1 still has issues. This started last year October. Bike ran normal until it went into Vboost. If felt flat, but still accelerated. Removed spark plugs, found cylinder #4(right front) cylinder to have a black spark plug. All others golden tan. Was told it was a carb issue. Tore into carb...

    Spark Plugs.

    2 Questions. 1, If 3 spark plugs are identical on a 4 cylinder engine and 1 is different by heat range, how far off on the heat ranges before the engine starts running bad? 1 heat range? 2? More? 2, All spark plugs are same brand. 1 spark plug is 1 heat range hotter. Will this cause the...

    Parts Wanted Looking For....

    Not quite sure where this type of post belongs so I tagged it here for the time being. I am looking for a 1978 Honda Hawk CB400 frame with clean title. Just the frame. Unless the rest of the bike is going extremely dirt cheap, I need just the frame. All the frames I keep seeing are just the...

    My Buddy's First Ride in 15 Years.

    Last year, I purchased a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan VN1500A. 31K miles. Under a salvage title cause it looked like the bike was dropped on the exhaust side. So, after a year of tampering and fiddling and fixing.....FINALLY got the bike running and running right. Got it registered and insured and ready...

    1st Gen & 2nd Gen Last of the First Gen, First of the Last Gen.

    Appears the forum is undergoing a make over. I was kindly asked to post up my VMax(s). List what has been done with them and so on. So, let me introduce myself, folks call me Pig. I hail from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Poor law enforcement and miles of uninterrupted road is a VMaxs' best friend...

    Forum Help.

    One thing about this forum...Gotta hand it to the community as there are people with direct hands on knowledge about these bikes. They can tell you everything you never wanted to know about these bikes. And given the fact that these are not really a high production motorcycle, the fact that this...

    Bike not running right.

    The 2007 has got something going on. Finally got the coil out as the weather finally played nice out. Quick back ground on whats going on. Bike starts normal. Will normally go through the gears without a hiccup. No misfires or stumbles. When you lay into the bike and get it into Vboost, it feels...
