On the Y?s Gear website, I noticed they sold a Gen2 passenger backrest with an embossed ?Vmax? on the back side fabric, which looked interesting. Got an idea that my 2010 Red Gen2 could use a little extra something on the back side too. The pic below shows the backside view of the stock Gen2...

Well, the right opportunity presented itself and I now have a slightly used, stock 2010 red VMax to play with! :banana: Here?s the short of it?. Found it at a motorcycle / snowmobile / auto re-sale business in beautiful Petoskey, Mi. They had just gotten in this VMax, a snowmobile, and a fully...

Haven't seen a post from Michael Moore (Vmax2extreme) today. Do you think he was the MD big winner and went into hiding... planning the next mods to his bike... or maybe even a new Gen2 ! ? ! :ummm: Just asking !!

Got a question for you Vmax clutch experts out there. For a winter project, planning to inspect / possibly upgrade the stock clutch on my 06 Vmax that has ~9500 miles on it. No issues of serious slippage? yet. From the many threads / posts from the past few years, it seem the preferred clutch...

Can you imagine these on a Vmax ? :ummm: WOW ! Sean, let us know when we can order these from you !! :rofl_200: Bridgestone Developing 'Airless' Puncture-Proof Tire By Anthony Ingram Published December 09, 2011 High Gear Media Bridgestone Although it'd be unfair to say that tires are...

Nope... I just realize now that I have a Califonia or "cali" bike; surprise ... surprise !!! Found an earlier post from Sean Morley explaining the differences. My 06, purchased new in Michigan, didn't have the canister attached, but it did have the capped carb port and wire hose holder on one...

Would like to share some pics of the new MaxGasser seat I ordered from Rick. After a couple short trips, the comfort this seat provides is fantastic ! Just know that the long rides planned for this riding season are going to be soooo much more enjoyable with this MaxGasser seat. As others...

Tried, real hard, for 3 fricken years to keep my 06 in stock condition. I loved the ?stock? look of the V-Max, that?s why I bought it! Most of my previous bikes remained stock; like the classic ?84 VT-500 Honda and a ?83 Suzuki GSXR 1000 that I had prior to the V-Max. So why not keep the V-Max...

While many of us wait for the weather to improve before we break out our V-Maxs for another riding season, there is a GREAT movie that you may or may not have seen that?s worth a view or repeat view IMHO. It?s titled ?The World?s Fastest Indian? and it stars Anthony Hopkins. Made in 2005, this 2...

Fellow V-Maxers, making an early New Years resolution to get a new riding helmet for the upcoming riding season; my 6 yr old HJC full face helmet has served it's time and needs to be retired. Store I'm going to next week has several name brand helmets including Shoei and Icon that I'm going to...

Just recieved an e-mail that Ricor Handlebar Vibranators are on sale, 35% off for the holidays. I installed a set last fall in attempt to reduce hand numbness / tingling. I've seen improvement on short trips, but haven't had a chance to try them out on long trips. Here's the information sent...

Here in mid-Michigan today, an un-seasonable 50 degrees ! The clouds broke / sun came out after a wet morning / roads were semi-dry, so I just HAD to fired up the VMax and was able to squeeze in one last 45 minute ride before the clouds settled back in and the temps started dropping. Forecast is...

Recently, installed a Marks 4-2 stainless steel exhaust with 14" mufflers on my stock 06 w/o any problems. (Thanks to you Mod Monkey, it?s not stock ANYMORE !!) Made the recommended changes: 1) set the A/F screws to 3.5 turns out and 2) shimmed the carb needles to 0.038? (used two #4 steel flat...

With the temps currently in the mid 30's, just got back taking the VMax for a 12 mile ride "snow ride" here in mid-Michigan. BRrrrrr ! :damn angry: Once snows on the ground, I like to at least start the engine and let it warm to proper operating temp once a month or take a short ride whenever...
