I guess this is what you call irony. A day designed specifically to raise motorcycle awareness; Starts like this. Ends like this. Rear ended less than 1/4 mile from home at 8pm after a 12 hour day in the office. ---------------- I was stopped at a light behind a line of cars. All of the...

I have decided to pursue a new project. Always wanted to learn to weld and have a turbocharged bike. Got the bike and always wanted to learn to weld. The big question is, how do I determine what size carb and jets I need for a draw through turbo on a stock motor? I know almost everything about...

So yesterday I decided to take apart my Kerker. Don't ask why, I was curious to see whats inside. I took the baffle out and the thing was empty. All I had in my hand was a metal screen attached to the tip. The thing had no packing in it. Its loud, but not obnoxious. But I wouldn't mind toning it...

I have a cable in my possession that runs from the positive terminal of the battery to the alternator in a car. It is the perfect length to reach from the battery to the starter on the vmax. I want to replace my entire lead possibly improving my cranking current. I have done everything on my...

I rode a buddys Vmax and I was surprise at just how easy the thing rode. I was tooling around on my bike the other day and decided to check the ring nuts and head nut for correct torque. I noticed that the head nut was loose so I thought maybe ill check the ring nuts too . I tightened the...

Which is the superior chassis, the venture or the vmax? Same power, same everything, except I guess the suspension.

So I went for a ride today with a fellow vmaxxer and got to sample his bike for about 20 miles. Its a 98 and to put it simply the ride on his bike was BUTTER. He sat on my bike and said "I think your suspension is bottomed out". After experiencing how another Vmax rode and thinking about his...

So my buddy has two grandmas. Both suffered from breast cancer and miraculously beat the disease. Now he is determined to walk in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in their honor and help raise awareness about it. However, to walk in the marathon he needs to raise $1800. He has $1080 so far...

Im not sure if the bike has been doing this since I bought it or not but I noticed this recently. Second gear sounds crunchy when engaging at low RPMs. If I get first too 4k rpms and shift to second, its fine. Anything below that and 2nd sounds crunchy. Doesn't pop out of 2nd, the rest of the...

How can I fix my ugly exhaust can? My bike isnt pretty, but its not ugly either. But this is probably the single biggest eye sore. Basically, the entire exhaust can looks like it has leprosy and I really want to conceal or fix this somehow without making it look like complete ass. Right now I...

I was changing the pads on my rear brakes today and could not for the life of me get the pistons back into the caliper. I took the caliper off and examined it. Looks like the previous owner had issues too because the edges of both pistons look chewed up. I guess he tried to use a big screw...

Is this real?

Im talking about one of these.

Whats the procedure with winterizing the Vmax? My last bike which had gravity fed carbs was simple. I drained the carbs, filled and put stabil in the tank. Done. This is the first bike I own with a fuel pump. So I ran the carbs dry by unplugging the pump, then drained the rest through the...

How do I remove the Vmax emblem on the side covers? Mine are really scratched up so I want to polish them.

I DO For the awesome price of 40 shipped. Gotta loooooove ebay. ----- I decided to upgrade the brakes, I swear it feels like my 74 CB360 that had drums stopped better than this thing.

I have a kerker exhaust on my bike and its in pretty rough shape overall. The biggest eyesore is the badly peeling chrome on the can. Im talking big chunks peeled off exposing the dull metal underneath. I honestly never knew chrome peeled, but it is. I dont want to re-chrome the can right at...

I have a crazy idea to chop the rear fender and reuse the fender reinforcement as an extension to the inner plastic fender. IMHO the rear fender looks like it should have never extended beyond the passenger seat grab. I understand the reason for extending that far but god does it make the...

I want to swap the sissy bar on my vmax for a regular seat stay. However all the ones I see on ebay are missing the reflector portion, do they transplant between the two?

I miss my old bike, which as you may have guessed was styled like a cafe, so I was wondering how cool it might be to dress up a vmax to look like a cafe bike. Has it ever been done?
