Loads of billet, 16700 miles. Titled as rebuilt. Runs great, looking for 5900.00, no trades please. Alf in N.J. Bike is a beast. Total fresh fluids / as of 04 /12 /2012

23 days later, and my MAX is still at the shop. Now I am told that it is running reasonably well, though it needs an accelerator pump, or maybe the pump diaphram. Thanks to a forum member, I had a Boyeson Q.S.3 installed when I bought the bike, and I thought that it is an adjunct pump to the...

Yipes. Size? UFO 39mm slide. Local tech said the two slides in the right sided carbs are "out of true" and allowing air to play with the air/fuel mix, having it run leaner as a result. Yes, I'm paraphrasing here. His other thought is that he can't synch the carbs perfectly, with two slides that...

What would you charge me for two slides? Local tech sez, all four ought to be changed at the same time to be able to synch it best. I dunno.

I've added fresh fuel, though haven't done enough riding to run through the tank. I can add Seafoam. After purchasing the VMAX, I swapped in a 2" baffle, and reduced the V stax from 110mm to a much more manageable 30mm. My tech from whom I got the bike then leaned it out, and replaced the spark...

So I'm hoping that I've got some stale fuel, that's giving my MAX fits. A local tech, where I'm a stranger, has told me that I have two bad slides in my Keihin FCR's, and he'll need to re-jet the carbs. Any hunches as to how much time an experienced tech will need to do this job?????? P.S...

I've got a fork brace on already. Is there a particular year or years of the VROD light that are preferable. In other words, some lenses have a dark circle manufactured in the center of the lens, do all of the lenses resemble that style, or are some years clear? So I'd want the bucket, and no...

I posted in MODS, and I'm not getting the eye traffic. To pull off this VRSC headlight install, I just need the bucket, no other H.D. hardware? Which H4 relay kit is the one to go with? Alf

OK, it is time for me to bring this thread into 2010! I would like to install the VSRC headlight in my MAX, and I'd like to assure myself as to what I need all in. It has been said that the bucket on its own without mounting attached is what you begin with. If any thing else is required to...

Good stuff, Sean. Thanks for the photo. Alf

Look at you,DINGY! Good show! I wonder how long you've been running your gear-o-rama? How did you seize upon this set up?

Yup, ya sucked me in to the sixth gear vortex field. My Aprilia and my Honda EACH feature six speeds. My BMW is a five speed, though as earlier written, I can see when I'm in fifth gear and I try hard to remember not to fish for sixth. The MAX really ought to have been designed with a six...

Yes, over all speed and revs can tell me where I'm at. My motivation to post this question? I saw a couple of these advertised yesterday, but apparently for bikes with electronic speedo's. Not for nothing, my BMW K bike has a gear display window, and it's a nice feature. All for now....

I've been tardy, and need to catch you all up. Installed a pair of the LED's in each bottom corner of the billet frame. Tapped into tail light, passed state inspection, and I can't stop smilin' when I look at that lit up plate after dark. Thanks again!

I wouldn't need to think twice if I installed a digital gear display. Is there a brand that is compatible with gen 1 MAX? I'm wondering.................

Maybe a great item there! My concern, after costs, is the level of knee discomfort. I hate to harp on this, though I drove my own UFO bike with the 100mm stacks that came with the MAX, and it was cruel. I smart when I think of it.............

I switched over to 30mm anodized aluminum stacks, and no longer are there knee comfort issues. There is a plastic stack of the same height currently being sold. Now and then I use the elastic socks that slip over the mouth of the v stacks. That's as much filtering as I use. They're a UFO...
