    Got an offer - opinions please

    Just got an offer of $7500 CDN for my 2006 Vmax (stock). Bike has ~7700kms, runs nicely, otherwise stock. I like my bike, but that seems pretty good. What do you guys think? (keep in mind I'm a university student)

    Any problems with Amsoil?

    Hey guys, My girlfriends boss is a big cheese at Amsoil and thinks I should be running it in my bike. Has anyone had any problems running this oil? I'm running Motul 10-40 dino oil right now and was thinking of trying 10-40 amsoil synthetic (whichever one meets the Yamaha requirements). Thanks!

    How to measure float height on the bench?

    I adjusted the float height on my '06 last summer - was way too high - using the bench method and measuring on the inside of the housing, but I'd like to check the actual fuel level. I tried to do this with the carbs on the bike but had no luck getting a consistent measurement. So, how do you...

    Is T-boost worth it?

    I'm thinking about installing the t-boost kit that starts opening at 3000RPM with the option of the original 6000RPM opening or totally off configurations. Is it worth it or a waste of time? Thanks for the feedback. -Or would it be better to do the COPs mod?

    general tuning question

    I have a 2006 vmax, completely stock. I live in Edmonton, Alberta where the elevation is just under 2200ft. My bike runs well, but I can tell it is running rich and the exhaust is almost toxic as a result. I'd like to lean the bike out to get more power while keeping the bike running nicely -...

    Solid motor mounts

    I've found aluminum or delrin mounts. Any thoughts? Seems like the aluminum would transfer vibrations better but I'm not sure if there are any other factors I'm missing. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it!

    Whine in 2nd and 3rd

    Hi guys, I have a 2006 with 5200kms - I notice the bike whines a bit in 2nd and 3rd. Is this nornal? The bike shifts cleanly and no other problems. It's not too bad, sounds kinda like some sportbikes out there. I bought the bike used so I'm not sure if this is a problem. Thanks! Elliot
