    A short vid to share with your Harley friends.

    For sharing with your Harley friends. Noise and HP are not always related, as in the case of Harley Davidson. Hope this gives you a good laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBhz7X-S5Eo

    Video Log with Gen2

    I thought I'd start a video blog mixing fun and issues into one package. This one is about my thoughts on Bernie Sanders and his desire to ban fracking, should he become president. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/7u_nFisoHoE

    New Turn Signal Mods

    I wanted the UFO Radiance front signals, but I think I like this better. I got the idea from a member over at starvmax. I got the integrated tail late from a rider friend nearby.

    PlanetVmax/UFO Cycles in legal trouble?

    I just got this on my FB from a fellow rider and he quotes. "Just spoke with the head mechanic from UFO.... Doors are shackled shut with rent a cops in place... Cease and desist order has been issued....." I just went to the website and tried to buy something and the link to the store...

    I made gixer friend today.

    I rode for about 20 minutes on the freeway with a guy on a GSXR1000. We both got on the throttle, passing each other other back and fourth and just all around having fun. At one point, we were side by side, running about 90 and we both hit the throttle and pretty much went neck and neck up to...

    Bike Cranks, but won't start.

    I replaced a worn out battery and now the bike cranks, but does not start or fire for that matter. Now it did sit for three weeks without a battery, I don't know if that is a factor or not. I noticed the odometer number had been replaced by the number "41" and when I ran a diagnostic I came...

    Best integrated tail light, opinions welcome.

    I'm looking at the integrated rear tail light and fender eliminator kit currently being offered by PlanetVmax (UFO), does anyone have any opinions as to what they think might be better or worse?

    Good Deal on a 2004

    If I were in the market, I'd be looking seriously at this offer. http://southbend.craigslist.org/mcy/4623486677.html

    Inspiring Bad Behavior

    Now that riding season is in full swing, I'm starting to notice that the presence of me on a Vmax seems to cause other people on their bikes to behave in peculiar ways. Here are a couple of instances for example. The light turns red and I stop at the line, on the other side of the...

    Yamaha FZ-09

    I have been looking into the FZ-09 as a first bike for my son. I sat on one the other day and it felt good. Anyone else have any thoughts on this machine? From what I'm reading, I think it would be a good starter bike and fun and I could easily talk my kid into letting me ride it.

    This bike eats rear tires

    Looking at a new rear tire to get me through the new riding season. Running Metzler Marathon now, but for way less money, I found the Shinko 011 Verge. Any thoughts?

    Planet Vmax, the Land of the UFO

    Been wanting to clean up my bike by losing the factory turn signals and mirrors so I started searching for some stuff. I like the looks of Planet Vmax stuff more than their competition. It looks like I can get an integrated tail light and license plate mount, replacement radiator covers with...

    Gen2 idle compared to Gen1 idle

    Of the Gen2 owners here, I want to know something. I'm sure many of you have heard how a Gen 1 sounds while at the idle, something like a vintage muscle car with high lift cams, right? To me, it just sounds plain bad ass, but when Yamaha came out with the Gen2, that rough, meaty idle was...

    Recent Gen2 owner w/questions

    As a newer gen2 owner, I have a couple of questions for some of the more experienced owners. Was the 2010 recalled for oil pump issues? When I get beyond a certain high speed, the indicated speedo number drops down by 50 or so, I have had it up to 154 mph/gps so I figure this is some sort...

    Gen 2 from standing start to fast in about 15 secs

    After working most of the day to unclog the kitchen drain, I thought it would be a good thing to unwind a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97wToSIOcZs

    Bought a used Gen II last month

    This is my second Vmax, the first was a 2004. I think Yamaha was very careful with this new bike to fix nearly everything that people complained about on the Gen I. The Gen II has tons of power up and down the RPM range, so much that I have not yet opened up the throttle completely in the...

    2004 With Modified Stock Exhaust

    I had the bike dyno'd last summer. This chart shows the A/F ratio on the right side. Since this chart was created, I've swapped out the stock pipes for Marks 4/2. I haven't yet had it checked, but guess from what I read here, that I"m running a little rich. The exhaust tone at highway speeds...

    Going to buy Marks or Holeshot

    I listened to Marks Pipes and Dale Walker Holeshots on the web. Without hearing both in person, I think I like the sound of Marks better, but I like the look of the Holeshots better. I am not sure which system would give me the best horsepower increase, but that's secondary as I'm already...
