Re: concept+some photshop=wow I bought my Max second hand with 3 months old and 700 miles on it, I paid in full. The first owner didn't like it and bought a Harley :surprise:....well, thanks to that I got the bike almost brand new with a very good price. Yes, if something happen I will...

Re: concept+some photshop=wow I win !!!! $0.00 insurance for my 06 Max Motorcycle insurance/liability is no a requirement in Florida. Although my 06 Vette cost me 3 grand each year, with a perfect record and after spend a lot of time shopping for the cheapest full cover insurance :bang...

Winter mods ? Winter is my riding session !!!!:punk:, on Summer it's too hot to ride over here, I prefer drive a car with a good A/C

Anyone knows where to dispose the old V-Max battery ? Normally, when I buy a battery for a car (locally) I bring back the old battery to the store, but in this case I bought the Odyssey on Ebay, what I need to do to dispose the old Yuasa battery ? :ummm: I am in Miami.

6'2" 265 lbs here :confused2: Now I know why we like the Vmax, another bike don't move us :whistlin: I bet that 90% of the riders with less than 200 lbs are not US riders :worthy:

Dear Walter: I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When...

I received my PC680 yesterday, I paid $109 with free shipping on Ebay. My Vmax is a 2006 model and the original Yuasa crap battery didn't start the bike anymore after 2 or 3 weeks of storage without recharging, also the hot start was very weak. I installed the PC680 and I was surprised...

Thanks, I found some info here. At least there is someone who did the mod on a Vmax. It looks good !!! but he recommend to use the 4300 k bulb instead of the 6000 K or the light is too blue. I will order one kit, I have HID on my Vette, it come from factory with HID, and I really like that...

Nobody did an HID conversion, at least on other bike or car ? HID bulbs work ok on standard reflectors ? Time ago I read that HID bulbs need a custom designed reflector to focus correctly, it appear to be true because the cars that use HID bulbs from factory use a much different reflector...

That's correct, a propely tuned engine will run cooler, but a lean one will run hotter anyway. Yes, alcohol is a very good octane booster, that's why racing and FI guys use alcohol to avoid detonation. The problem is that the V-max already run a little lean from factory, if you lean more...

Avoid Ethanol fuel on the V Max, the ethanol can melt some rubber parts in the fuel system on early models, late models probable not, because most manufacturers already are using components resistant to ethanol from many years ago. But there is another problem.... The V Max is a carb...

Reducing the voltage to 3 volt to feed a remote control is something easy, and will cost cents. Those transmitters only use few miliamperes. With a 150 ohms 1 W resistor and a 3.3V 1 W diode Zener you will do. The diode Zener will stabilize the voltage to 3.3 V We use 3.3 because a 3V...

:eusa_dance: Welcome to the proud group of V-Max owners !!!!! I bought a 2006 one year and half ago and I love this bike !!!

If everything is working fine, it should not affect idle at all. A spark ? where ?

Anyone did a conversion to a HID bulb on the standard headlight ? I noticed that there are a bunch of sellers offering conversion kits on ebay and other sites, but I don't know how they will work on the standard V max reflector, also I don't know where to place the ballast. Anyone can post...

I just race a friend with his Warrior My Vmax is a stock 2006 and his Warrior is a 05 with an aftermarker exhaust, air filter, and power commander The warrior pulled hard from the startup but the vmax rev a lot more in each gear and he was 150 ft behind me when I push 3 gear.:eusa_dance:
