Filled up with gas and went to reset my gas gauge and the knob to reset it spun freely...the gear inside must be broken. Anyone else ever come across this? Not sure if I need a whole new speedo or what. Strange as the bike only has 12K on it. If I push on the knob I am able to get the numbers...

The old man and I did a big ride through BC into the US, over to Montana/whitefish and did the road to the sun, back up into Alberta. Awesome ride, here are a couple pics along the way. Total ride was 1600km (1000mi) (max performed well - begging for a new seat though :biglaugh:)

I came across some awesome polish in an aerosol can, apparetly guys use it on their HD's, called Pig Spit. Not sure if anyone here has tried it, but it did a fantastic job on my engine. It really makes the black look black again. I got my can off ebay, but they have a website too....pigspit.com...

I am stumped with the rear disk brake on my 03 G35, hoping someone here might be able to help. The rear brake makes a clicking noise when the brake is applied. If I brake hard enough, it stops. I took the brake apart, pads are fine, caliper appears to be fine, and nothing seems out of the...

While searching I have come across several pics of removing the end plate rivets and drilling holes which seems easy enough, but none of removing the baffle. My understanding is I need a 1 inch hole saw, but I dont quite get where you are drilling (is it the actual pipe the exhaust is coming out...

If I do the stock exhaust mod, drlling the baffle &or drilling holes in the end cap, will I need to rejet or can I just adjust the A/F? Elevation is 3400ft FWIW. Maybe I wont need to adjust anything, but I suspect it will be running rich. Just wanted to see what others have done. Thanks...

The pics are not coming up in this link: http://www.vmaxforum.net/faq.php?faq=vmax_tech_faq_1#faq_front_forks I am in the middle of installing new fork seals/springs and wanted to see how the bottom allen bolts come out....is it my pc or the site? Thanks for any suggestions, Jason

I just got back from our honeymoon on Friday, had an awesome trip to Hawaii. First time and we loved it. Aside from all the of fun and memories, we seen something terribly sad. We drove passed a bike accident minutes after it happened. Turned out the guy was on a crotch rocket (speed...

If you instal a true xenon kit on the max, with a ballast, should you still instal a relay kit? Anyone have a xenon on their bike??? Any info appreciated, Jason

Looking to buy a new helmet, I went by the stealer today and I like the way the Arai Profile fit the best. The rep working told me Arai's down fall is that they are the noisiest out of Arai, Shoei, and Suoy. He said the nice thing is they are one of the coolest because of all the venting. Any...

Hey guys, I am going to be installing progressive springs and going to do the seals at the same time. Wondering if anyone has used (or thought of using) those neoprene dust boots that guys use on their dirt bikes? I know they work wonders for the life of fork seals on dirt bikes..might be worth...

I picked up my Givi windscreen today, my early bday present. Cant wait for the snow to melt and try it out. Left on my list of to do's....Tires, fork springs & seals, and then hit the road. MELT SNOW MELT!!!!

Is there any truth to getting flat spots if you store your bike on concrete? I dont have mine on the center stand (should do that) but it sits on concrete during the deep freeze for about 4-5 months, and just wondering if I should have it sit on a couple pieces of plywood of the like. Anyone??

I tried to buy some new signal lights for my new max, and got no service from ebay seller "jagmotorcycle". Numerous emails/messages, and nothing. Frustrating as hell! A real pain as I liked the lights that he has. Does anyone have any recommendations for new lights? Dont really want a DIY...

Just picked up my first Vmax this weekend, I'm in love! Great bike so far. I have had several different dirt bikes, and an R1 & R6. I have to say I like riding this much more than the crotch rockets, and can see me hanging onto this thing! Anyways, it is a 2003 with just 3000mi on it. It is...
