I have a 2001 VMax that I'll be posting for sale on various sites but thought I'd post here first. The bike runs great with one exception - when sitting in traffic on a hot day the bike warms fast (more than usual) and it begins to idle very rough. Other than that the bike looks great and runs...

I finally got around to removing the old lollypop signals, but when I began the install I was baffled by the wire colors on the new ones. I understand the wires coming from the bike (blue = running light, black = ground, brown = left turn signal, green = right turn signal). Unfortunately the...

Does anyone know where to get preload spacers? I cut mine too short and currently have 0.00" of preload. I'm sure I can call up Racetech, but they may charge me an arm and a leg. Thanks, Glen

My bike seems to be getting hot quicker than normal. My VMax has always heated up fairly quickly in the past during 75degree+ weather and in stop-and-go traffic, but this morning going into work it was starting to heat up in high 50's stop-and-go traffic. Once it starts to get hot it begins to...

I know removing the center-stand and swapping out the rear fender to one that doesn't use the metal bracket are a couple easy ways to shed some lbs, but are there some other easy ways of cutting weight (I'm not going to start eating at Subway)? I know the Carr wheels are a lot lighter, but...

I'm considering going through Kosman to have my rear converted to 18x5.5 and the front to 19x3 and likely running 180/55r18 and 120/70r19 tires. I'm mainly looking for the best handling option for radials while not breaking the bank. Also, I've heard that some people have run the 180...

Does anyone have any ideas for getting an old bushing off the swingarm bolt? The metal inner part if the bushing seems pretty well on there. I've tried penetrating oil, wooden mallet, heating it up, and heavy toothed pliers. Not sure how the hell to get this thing off. The other side popped...

I noticed last week that my 2001 was dropping the front left cylinder at low RPMs. At idle I don't think it's firing at all. When revving the bike in neutral I can hear the bike spit and pop ever so slightly in the 3k to 4k range and think the cylinder finally picks up consistently around 4k...

I'm interested in upgrading my front fork, which seems like the best bang for the buck in increasing handling according to a lot of threads on this site. It also seems like Race Tech springs are slightly more favorable than Progressive's springs, so I think I'll be ordering a set of Race Techs...
