    Sudden Lighting Electrical Issue

    I was swapping my sissybar out for the stock grab rail and when I went to check that I had the turn signal wiring correct I wasn't getting anything at all. Not even the front signals. Then I noticed that the neutral light is out on the cluster and that was working for sure before and during the...

    License Plate "MYVMAX" in Fairfax, VA.

    I was on my way to work Monday morning, driving my car because I had meetings or I would have been riding my bike. But I was in Fairfax on Route 50 stopped at a light and a Vmax pulls up next to me. Looked all stock and I noticed the License Plate said MYVMAX. Just thought I'd throw a message...

    Exhaust Installed

    I recently purchased a Kerker header from a forum member but the can was only a 2" inlet and I didn't like the step-down from the 2.5" collector. So from a suggestion Sean gave me based on a bike he did a custom exhaust on, I picked up this muffler and found a shop that would install it for me...

    Vmax Owners with HID's (preferrably from DDM Tuning)

    I got my HID kit from DDM Tuning installed today but I have some issues. First I just wanted to confirm that they sent me the right kit in the first place. The bulb fits in the housing fine, no issues there. But the section of the wiring harness that has the relay attached to it has a long and...

    Aftermarket Master Cylinders

    Not too long ago I saw a thread from someone that replaced their master cylinders with some aftermarket ones and they included a link. I tried searching but haven't been able to find it. I forget the brand name, but I remember them being decently priced. You picked out the master and then...

    Bike was Knocked Over

    Well I rode my bike to work on Friday and some idiot pulling into our parking lot hit my bike and knocked it over. Apparently he was pulling into the space my bike was in only to back into the space across from him. He pulled into my space without realizing my bike was there and just nudged it...

    Smoke from Exhaust on Startup

    I've noticed that when I start my bike up there's always smoke from the exhaust for the first few seconds of it running. It usually comes more from the can on the left side of the bike and I'm assuming that may have to do with it leaning on the kickstand on that side when parked. The bike can...

    R6 Parts on the Vmax?

    I've been toying with the idea of stripping down my 04 R6 and putting some parts on my 03 Vmax. Just wanted to get an idea from the group what parts if any would be worth the swap. I was thinking the complete front end (tire, forks, brakes, mc's). Do these parts work on the Vmax? Is it a...

    Still Running Rough when Cold

    So... I know a handful of you guys have been working with my on the issues I've been having with my Vmax. My last update was that I got the carb sync tool on Wednesday and in 10 minutes the bike was running fantastic. This morning I went to take the bike to work and it fired right up with the...

    I think my oil pressure gauge is leaking

    Take a look at this picture I just snapped of the top of my oil pressure gauge. There's a small rubber plug on top that has a pin hole crack in it and I've noticed twice now a clear oil like liquid puddling on top of the gauge. I guess its pretty obvious that its leaking the fluid that fills the...

    Questions about Installing COPs

    I just received R1 COPs and harness in the mail today from Ebay. The coils look really clean and the harness is in pretty decent shape as well. However, notice from my picture how short the lines are. Once I pulled all the electrical tape and wire wrap off I found that the red leads from all the...

    Ok so many of you may have read my post from this morning regarding my great ride yesterday. Well, I just finished changing the engine oil and the rear end gear oil. Then I went to start the bike and it was very difficult to get started. The choke wasn't working as it normally does. The more...

    Great Ride Yesterday

    I finally got a chance to catch up with my buddy and do a little riding yesterday afternoon. We both cut outta work early and met up for lunch followed by a spirited blast around town. He has an 09 VFR 800 that he got last season and I'm still pretty green on my 03 Vmax that I got at the very...

    Technique for Removing Grips

    I just got a set of drag bars that came with new ProGrips. However, I'd prefer to keep the original grips that were on my stock bars. Does anyone know a tip or trick to remove the left hand grip from the stock bars so it can be reused on the new drag bars? Thanks for the help.
