    85 in South Carolina, yall's thoughts? N

    I've seen this ad get reposted a few times in the past while. The ad just seems odd to me for some reason, I can't put my finger on it. http://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/5706216263.html What do yall think?

    Older Craigslist post in TN

    For openers, somebody had RURNT the look of this bike! But for an 04 with 20k on it, maybe it'd be worth someone else's time to put stock body parts and such back on it and have a decent ride or flip it for a profit? http://tricities.craigslist.org/mcy/5346265011.html

    Maxim wheels on a Vmax

    Zup errbody? So like, it sucks that nobody makes 15" radials. But I'm wondering if any Yamaha shaft-drive wheels would interchange with the Vmax? Found that the XS Eleven came with a 17" rear/19" front, and the Special had a 16" rear. And I kinda like the seven-spoke ones... sorta...

    Okay, this is embarrassing, but...

    I have an 82 Suzuki GS300. I look like a circus bear on the friggin thing. Just more motivation to hunt down a Vmax, I tell myself. Seriously though, it's my wife's - she found one she wanted and jumped on it. It's nice for what it is, but she wants it a bit louder. Not straight pipes loud...

    21" front wheel, anyone?

    Hi yall. Is anyone running a 21" front setup on their bike? I see a lot of 17" and 18" conversions on here, but the asthetics in my opinion are a little bit off. Not knocking the swap, especially from a safety standpoint... just wondering if anyone's done a swap on the front like that to restore...

    Fleeting thought about gapless rings

    Hey y'all! Just checking in for the occasional pestering . Had a thought cross my mind - gapless rings seal better but make more friction, negating the benefits in power. So, would it be ill-advised to run a low-tension oil control and a gapless top ring? ONLY the gapless top ring? As in no 2nd...

    DEEP THOUGHT - Anyone ever eliminated their V-Boost?

    Hi yall, I tend to think very deeply into things - and I used to drink a lot, too - so this might be odd or just pointless ramble to some of yall. That said, I get the idea of how the V-Boost setup works. In essence feeding one cylinder with two carbs. In theory it's an awesome setup, not...

    Is this a decent deal???

    Hi yall. I know the mileage is high, but then assuming it's been maintained right I've heard quite a few stories of how reliable these bikes are. If I can whittle the seller down to $2000, would I be making a good deal? http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/mcy/4567420065.html What would...

    So we have a motorcycle now....

    And it's not a bad little bike at all! It's just little - an 82 Suzuki GS300 with 6300 miles on it. My wife got it thinking it would be something for me to ride to work and back, and I do... but I look and feel like a dang circus bear on it! Other'n that, the only issue I have is that it surges...

    Anyone stroked their Vmax?

    Tried doing a search, nothing. So, is it possible to stroke a Gen1 motor? If so? By how much? Not trying to stroke one like a Harley... just maybe 1/2" or so to add some more torque.

    Engine parts availability?

    Call me wierd... here I am asking about parts for a bike I don't even have... yet.:biglaugh: Anywho, they've had ovate wire, beehive valvesprings for cars for awhile now(Thanks, Comp Cams), and they are a big step in controlling harmonics and valve float. Does anyone know if they're made for ol'...

    Dork needs help...exhaust note?

    I feel really steewpid asking this, but I've never heard an aftermarket exhaust on a Vmax. I have, however, seen a ton of vids showing the Max do what it does best, with anything from stock, to UFO to Kerker to Mark's to open headers to forced induction, and in every clip I see with modded...

    Newbie questions... HP

    Hey all. Welp, I've made up my mind that I'm gonna work toward getting a Max to get groceries with and take the kids to school on... sure.:rofl_200::eusa_dance: Anywho, I've read the stories of 145-hp ratings since '85 - even remember reading in a mid-90s mag of a year when they were rated at...
