    Fuel Relay

    Hi all, does anyone know how to test a fuel relay? New fuel pump not working, tested out of the bike 100% trying to find the problem. Any ideas? Ta

    Hard down-shifting

    I swear this forum is telepathic! Same issue with my 1999 and was going to ask about it. Changed the oil which was stinkin, PO said it was done (wasn't) so defo was an issue. Used mineral oil and it's better. Might do it again although it was well bled. It's still happening but nowhere near...

    Well, thought I'd seen it all ! lol

    So got my 1999 last year and have been doing wee bit's and pieces over the winter. Took the headlamp apart to fit an LED bulb and well lol see picture attached! Instead of fitting reducers to the LED indicators to slow down the 'flash' they had fitted two brake bulbs and wrapped them all up to...

    Original speedo/dial

    Not sweating it really, just would like an original if this one isn't. I'd prefer Imperial MPH as we're UK here 'up north'. Be handy though when we go 'Down South' to the Republic. You have to be careful with the MPH/KPH difference's and breaking the speed limits lol

    Original speedo/dial

    Hi all, can anyone tell me if this is an original speedo? I don't think so. Trying to put him back to as original as possible. Thanks

    Sharing something I painted.

    Cool! I've just taken up painting after many years of pencil/charcoal drawings. You've given me some ideas now!

    Favorite nicknames for your Max.

    My 1999 Vmax is Maximus and my Suzuki M800 is Jean Claude. I'm a film/muscle fan lol

    1st Gen V-Max My Dream Bike

    He's actually 1999, imported 2000 from Canada. We're in Northern Ireland. Out and about recently, getting acquainted, loving it. We now have 2 x Intruders, a Valkerie and my Vmax lol No more room in the shed! The weathers crap here so opportunity to get out are few. Forward controls are good...

    1st Gen V-Max My Dream Bike

    Hiya, I'm used to feet forward and tried a Vmax with forward pegs before i bought mine , needed to make sure .(would have bought it but the engine had a nasty rattle). I have also got a dodgy hip lol so feet forward feels good for me. It's been through MOT with the pipes already so hopefully...

    1st Gen V-Max My Dream Bike

    Thanks, good info. I'll see how my scooped out seat goes before I change the shocks but yes it'll be an option. I just like as much of my foot down for moving around when I'm stopped/stopping. It's a bit heavier/different weight distribution from my Intruder but I'll get used to it in sure...

    1st Gen V-Max My Dream Bike

    Yes, it's this Northern Ireland protocol. We've had some companies sending no problem. They do the extra paperwork. Others obviously think the bother isn't worth it. Lots of companies have just decided not to trade with us. I have a friend in Wales who will post stuff to me lol I get it sent to...

    1st Gen V-Max My Dream Bike

    Thanks, great info, I've already copied all the frequently asked questions and have bought a manual. I'm lucky my other half is a great mech/electrical guy! We've discovered shrink wrap which includes the solder. We've found them great and handier than soldering and then shrink wrap, no...

    Just bought this 2000 lovely. The previous owner had all the original lights and wot not so I'll get them back on. Forward controls to go on and I'm getting the saddle scooped out (cause I'm a short arse). Looking forward to next season. I've been riding a 2015 Suzuki M800 Intruder (for long...
