    Can't beat a road trip and 32 oz. steak!

    Went on a trip through the Oregon cascades and high desert this weekend. Three days of camping and 32 oz. of beef steak at the Cowboy Dinner Tree restaurant in the middle of no where. I'm seriously ready to go again.

    Lookin' for a MAX in Oregon

    Hey My cousin is looking at joining the ranks. We're here in Oregon and there are a few for sale on craigslist, etc. but he wants to exhaust all sources before he gets one. Does anyone have a vmax for sale? Thinking about it? Know anyone else that does? Let me know! -Travis

    New CDI ignitor?

    Hey peoples. I'm pretty sure I have a bad channel on my ignitor box. I have a 2002 with no spark to one cylinder. I've spent a good deal of time checking into it. Heck, Mark even wasted the best part of his night on the phone with me last night. I haven't yet pulled the thing apart to look at...

    What gasket do I need?

    Hey, I've got a question. I'm wanting to replace a gasket on my bike. It's the one under the cover right next to your left foot. I noticed a couple months ago that it was weeping when warm at the upper front corner. I just dabbed a little silicone on it to stop it. Now it's time to change the...

    Has anyone tried this battery?

    I'm on the market for a battery finally, I found the Power Star PS-680 is supposedley a direct replacement for the Odyssey PC 680. At $44 it is roughly $80 cheaper. Has anyone tried it or do you know anyone who has? Don't want to buy a piece of knock off crap if I can keep from it! Thanks.

    What do I have?

    I've only had this bike for a month and a half and I noticed that my shocks had a sticker that said 'Werks' or something like that on them. It didn't look stock to me and I'm wondering if it is or not. What should a stock 2002 shock be?

    Somebody please Help

    I only have internet for the next couple hours and then I won't until Monday. I'm wanting to do some things to my bike this weekend, but I need some direction. Please check out the post on Carb/ Tune under the Tech category. It's called something like what do you think? We can pick up the...

    What do you think?

    I was reading in the Frequently asked ?'s in the Carb Bible and found someone going on about Dale Walker's stage 1 kit (which I have). They were saying that it quote 'richens the hell out of it'. That seems to be my case. my mileage is crap. Would it be a bad idea to put the stock mikuni main...

    vboost slack???

    Well yesterday I was prodding around on here and I read a post from somebody who seemed to not be able to notice the vboost kicking in. I thought "that sounds like me". I have already noticed it cycling when I turn on the key and kill switch, however I just don't feel any change as I slowly...

    What's with the oil light anyway?

    So when I go WOT at about 7000 or 7500 RPM the oil light comes on. What's that about

    Isn't this doable?

    I'm wanting to make up one of those yardstick manometers to check my carb synch. I'll only end up with 2 hoses. However, as best as I can tell all I need is two at a time. We're just comparing two carbs at a time when we adjust. Correct? I'm assuming that the drawback is that I'll need to do...

    Whats Up? Don't ask me!

    You may remember me, I posted last week about my new purchase- a 2002 with Walker's stage 1 and 4-2 exhaust. I was unsure about how it was running. I finally ran a tank of gas through it and got 24.5 mpg. Whats up? Don't ask me! I'm taking it to a guy I know to tune the carbs/ make sure...

    20 mpg?? What you talkin bout Willis!

    I am brand new to the family as of yesterday. ('02) max with 6500 miles on it. hole shot pipes and stage one performance kit. The previous owner told me he gets around 20 mpg with it. From what I've read that has to be horse crap. He said it's running a little rich. I don't think however that it...
