If you follow the thread, you will read that there were a few made in 1988.

Turns out the 1300cc was a myth. Sean Morley provided to me this info in this newer thread. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=9708 I almost bought this bike in July/August. It ran great on the dyno, but the pipes were too loud to be legal here. It was up again on eBay this week for...

SAVED me close to 3 grand! Turns out the Max has the 1200 engine, not the 1300 listed on the DECAL under the cover. I don't think the current owner was trying to pull something, but I think someone pulled something on the original buyer. On top of that, it was running awful and still wouldn't...

Sean, you are always THE MAN when it comes to stuff like this. :clapping:With a few contortions, a toothbrush to clean the casting boss and a bright flashlight, I was actually able to find it on my own bike. It is hard to find and see, but it is viewable. I will take a look at the other bike...

Thanks for the chart! The 2WE is the standard US Max prefix. satariel 666 indicated one of his Venture blocks was a 2WE. Is this picture of the emissions sticker under the tank cover enough documentation to prove it is a 1300?? http://www.vmaxforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=9143&d=1246326924

The 2WE block is a Venture, not a Vmax?

Do you know the approximate year of the Venture block? Thanks! LC

Is the whine accompanied by a noticeable vibration when you decelerate?

My service manual indicates prefixes of 2WE, 2WF and 2EN for engine serial numbers for the Max for US, CA and Europe respectively. I am looking at a Max that supposedly has a Venture engine, but I need to know the engine serial number prefixes in order to verify.

THANKS! But, I'd like to know how to end them myself. LC

Hanging a 600 pound bike sideways on one of those platforms that hooks into a receiver hitch is a lot of "tongue weight". Gets tail heavy and waggy. Never mind getting it loaded that far off the ground on a steep ramp with no space to maneuver and a lot less leverage with the bike up at your...

I have a classified ad posted and can't seem to figure out how to delete or cancel it. Searched the FAQ, etc. Help! LC

Dealer filled the tank with fresh gas and ran it for a bit. Still not running right. Dealer told owner/consignor it needs a carb cleaning. The owner said he always ran StaBil through it and it ran OK when he rode it this Spring. Shouldn't fuel filter help keep carbs clean? Could there be a...

Hi, Can you PM me this info as well. I'm the guy buying the bike. Thanks! LC

I've decided to buy the bike. It's a clean bike with low miles either way on the CC's, nicer than my '92. Owner accepted my offer and just working out the minor details since it is on consignment at a bike shop. Looks like I will be selling my other one very soon. Plus there is also the Suzuki...

Engine family on the tag any help?

Seems a little harsh, what's the beef?

How's about this picture of the emissions tag for documentation? I looked at the bike today. Starts and runs. It won't take any throttle at all without stalling and won't stay running without lots of choke. I usually figure that is a carb problem. If the jets are partially clogged, the carbs...

More info received today on the bike by the current owner/seller. It was supposedly imported from Europe by a Yamaha Dealer for personal use. Also according to the current owner <> "I did some research online and contacted Jon Cornell at UFO Performace cycles (http://www.ufocycles.com/)...
