I am flying to Sedona in July and want to rent a bike while there. I check Eagle and all they have is Hogs. Anyone know another source out there? No one rents a VMAX but a nice Venture or similar would make for a decent day in the mountains.

I put an integrated tail light from Brite2Wheels and an LED license plate from AutoGem. Anybody know of reflectors that would fit the empty stalks of the OEM turn signals? The next project is the Mike Kemp Halos for the front. The weather is starting to change so I need to finish this thing...

The two features from the Gen1 that I miss the most are the center stand and the self canceling turn signals. I now have self canceling turn signals on the Gen2. The unit that fixes this is the ST2 Turn System. I put the unit in the back of the bike, behind the passenger seat. It was...

I have got a Rowe Electronics Amplink installed. It cost me the space for the OEM tool kit, but it is in and functional. I will build out a better tool kit and keep it in the tailbag. The Amplink provides six new circuits for the bike with a few neat features. The unit is off unless the key...

I put the Shorai Lithium battery in over the weekend. I had not opened the battery box before and discovered that the Gen2 battery is wrapped in a heat resistant shroud with holes for the top posts only. I had to cut a notch out of the shroud and the plastic battery cover to route the...

Bike Week in Sandusky, in 2023. Meet at Iron Pony in Columbus for a two tank ride to Bike Week on Saturday May 27th.

Thunder on the Strip was last week. On Saturday night the weather was perfect. I found a Gen 1 there with a pretty unique paint job. No sign of the owner as there were thousands of bikes there. Anyone recognize this machine?

This is pretty unusual

I do not know the owner and have not seen the bike. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/d/chardon-2009-max-1700-rare-fast/7449836171.html

https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mpo/d/hamilton-2010-yamaha-vmax-1700/7416659359.html This is a couple hours South of me. I do not know the guy or the bike.

I am not touching that bike.

This company has lights integrated with the mirrors. They even show a Gen2 with them installed. Lucifer Dual LED Mirrors for Yamaha | KiWAV Motors To make the decision even more challenging they have a internal TPMS system with a different set of mirrors. Arrow, true carbon fiber...

Missing the self canceling feature of the Gen1, I have been doing some hunting for an aftermarket solution and found the ST2. They have VMAX blog post that is a not so thinly veiled ad for their products. https://safer-turn.com/article/the-yamaha-vmax-a-motorcycle-like-no-other/ Despite that...

I got a virtual Christmas card today from Exactrep. This finally explains how Santa gets to all the kids around the world in one night. He has a VMAX. :D

It does start with Honda but you know what is coming... https://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/story/bikes/motorcycle-models-that-will-outlive-us-all/

According to the Service Manual, the speed signal off the ECU is a Yellow Blue wire on P1-23 that runs to the digital display. Anyone know what signal is being sent? Is this a voltage range, current or possibly an encoded signal like CANBUS? I am working on a Electronic Cruise Control...

I am trying to get to the APS. The Service Manual shows it is on the throttle bodies underneath the Variable Intake Funnels. I have the easy stuff taken off the top of the bike. It is not as obvious how to disconnect the linkage that moves the funnels or how to take those off to get to...
