Haven't been on in a while but the announcement of the 2009 Vmax release has sparked my need for that V4 growl once again. 1675cc V4 New tech straight from their superbike range Fully adjustable suspension(FINALLY!! IT DOES CORNER!) updated brakes Large easy to view tach with shift light...

Is it possible to get at these without dropping the motor out of the bike? And if not, how complicated is that? I have the full on shop service manual which shows most of the steps but I'm wondering if I have to worry about all the electrics and shit, or if I can just pop the valve cover off...

Mate of mine just posted these. Nothing real detailed but if you look closely at it you can see the shape for the seat and headlight are shown better than the ambiguous form they had before. It also looks like they ditched the lower oil coolier...

Was looking t pictures of Buells when I ran across this little article. http://www.motorcyclingblog.com/article/new-yamaha-v-max-set-to-go-into-production-in-2009

Well today is the day. Bike's all together and running like a dream, Took it for a good blat yesterday to clear any cobwebs from sitting in the garage/shop for a few month. Now is the time for the real deal. A few mates will be hanging around with cameras (vid and still) so should get plenty...

Book of Revalationes 6:12And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 6:13and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of...

Just want to double check that I'm reading my manual right. Min to max is 5.7-14.2psi? My front end feels really soft from what I remember so thinking that when the shop replaced the fork seals they didn't put air in the upper part. Want to make sure I've got the right info before going and...

One thing I remember and miss the most is the heat. Mowing the lawn in the baking hot sun certainly made that bourbon taste so much better when it was all done. Don't really get that here but I guess it's a trade off for being a 5 minute walk from the Beach and some wicked surf (Not to mention...

Need new ones for my bike as some of you know and hoping to get ones without the cloth wrapping so if anyone has a set or knows someone that does selling them at a decent price please let me know. Email to [email protected] or PM me on here.

Out of curiousity did the Max ever come out with a black face plate in the speedo? The reason I'm asking is I've got fairly bad night vision, I can see well enough but when I've got lights shining in my eyes it makes it very hard to see anything. I swapped the speedo's out on my Virago from...

Unfortunately my bike is still out of comition but god willing, I'll sort that out in time for the next race day. A few of my mates were out though and I had my camera. Enjoy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qbLg4t_sqs

Still having the same problem with my bike, right front cylinder has no spark. Have checked the plugs, have checked the leads, coils and the wire from CDI to coil. All are good. Next step is checking the CDI but I haven't got a clue how to do this without replacing it. Do any of y'all know how...

How the hell do I get to this thing? I need to check it and the lead to find the reason I've got no spark on that cylinder. Have checked plug and plug boot just working back now. Also if it is neither the coil nor lead what else could the problem be?

Does anyone have a spare stock flywheel or know of any Vmaxs being parted out that I could nab one off of? Bike shop has had my bike since tuesday and they can't even get it off, they tell me they are going to have to cut if off in order to replace the starter clutch so I need another one.

Finally time to start the upgrades on my bike so I'm wondering what y'all recomend. I want to keep the stock looks, cause I like them and it's cheaper, so just gonna replace the springs. What I want to know is wich one would be better? From what I've read so far Race teck with lowering...

Anyone know what size wrench the hex-nut shaped part of the fly wheel takes? Manual tells me use and adjustable spanner but I hate useing those. They don't grip properly and usually wnd up tearing the shit out of what I'm trying to remove.

You line up next to a bike t the lights, you rev and the other guy looks at you and you see his throttle hand move but you hear nothing. Must be a slow bike right? But then when the lights changes even if you have better reaction time he still beats you across the intersection and beyond...

Left side crank cover Anyone know how I get this thing off? I've removed all the allen bolts but it stays put like there is something else holding it on but I can't see it. Need to get it off cause I'm replacing my worn out starter clutch.

Did this run yesterday and took the camera on a newly made camera mount So I could get some video of it. Guess where I've got it mounted lol. 690-ih bikes on this ride nd I didn't catch how much was raised for the local Rescue Helicoptor or how many toys were collected for the kids at the...
