Hello All, Further to my other post on my 2004 running / fueling issues. I noticed the other day, when the engine was running, after I did a Shotgun clean of the 4 carbs, that fuel was seeping past the needle / seats inside the carb inlet throats, on all 4 carbs. I don't recall noticing this...

Hello All, Had some running problems with my 2004 a few months ago, discovered some rust in the tank and have since pulled and cleaned / sealed the tank and reinstalled. Installed new fuel filter as a further precaution. Just finished performing the Shotgun clean on all 4 carbs (seemed...

Hi All, Just took my 2004 out of storage and out on the road the other day. I noticed some fuel that had leaked from somewhere around one of the carbs and down between the engine block V. Bike started OK, but has a slight pop out of the RH (?) exhaust at idle. Throttle response is lagging...

Hi guys, finally have had a chance to put a few thousand kms on my new to me 2004. I'm starting to realize what / how the suspension and handling is feeling on this bike. It kind of just bounces its way through turns, steering feels heavy and needs lots of muscling around to keep a smooth...

Hi guys, Just doing a few things to my 2004 and need to confirm what the hardware / bolt use is with the factory passenger backrest. I've just removed a custom made rear luggage rack and will probably remove the backrest, but need to know how many screw / bolts where originally used to secure...

HI guys, I'm looking to get a couple of V-MAX related shirts. Does anyone on here offer / make any? Otherwise I will go the usual internets purchase, but would prefer to support locally here... Thanks!

Hi guys, Just picked up this 2004, with 38,000 kms today (all stock / original). Can't wait to take it for a burn (when the streets dry out lol!)...
