After over a year of dwelling over the situation I have made the final decision to give up riding. Alot of different factors have played a major role in guiding me to this decision. I sold my Warrior last year and held on to the Max just incase I decided to keep riding but the time has come...

After 1 year of search and getting out bid 2x I finally scored a used factory mini screen on Ebay for $75.00. Installed it yesterday. Me likey a lot. Next up changing out the pilot jets to a larger size. We push on.

WOW!!!! It seems like it has been forever since I have been on the forum. Actually it seems like forever that I have been on or done anything to my bikes, including the Vmax. For those of you who followed my situation over the past year or so you know that my sister was diagnosed with cancer...

Hey everyone. Anyone have a good setup at sea level with the Muscle Kit? I've been playing with it for awhile but can't quite nail it down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey everyone. I have a buddy in the Deltona, FL area looking for a late year Gen. 1 Vmax. If anyone has any leads let me know and I will pass on the information. I appreciate your help. I am also looking thru the publication but thought I you post here as well just incase someone here was...

Took most of the Kerker off last night, except for the two rear inner nuts. I had to take one of my 8mm allens into work. today to have one of my maintence guys cut me stubby. Off with the down pipes tonight and everything goes to Jethot for a nice extreme sterling bath to replace the...

Great title right?? Sorry I couldn't come up with anything better title. Here is my situation. My 47 year sister was diagnosed with a very very rare form of Cancer last year (Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma = blood vessel cancer). How rare? She is only 51 know case. She was being...

Ok I am going to try and have some fun with this. I had to have my bike towed to a dealer Saturday afternoon. I'll note what happen, symptoms and what my bike has and see who can people Dr. House and diagnose the problem. Now, the bike was only brought in late Saturday and the dealer is closed...

Up until 10 month ago I had never ridden or driven anything that had carbs. Prior to Jan. I had never touched a carb. But now I have checked float levels, bench adjusted the floats, changed out main jet, changed out PAJ2 jets, adjusted my needles and synced my carbs. Some of them a couple of...

Good morning everyone. I know this is a very strange holiday season with many being out of work and those that are still working full of uncertainty but a friend shared this amazing video with me and thought I would pass it on. Some of you may have seen it before, if so it is still worth a...

Ok now that I have the front end suspension and braking the way I want it, I can see behind me and I'm happy with my new turn signals it is time for the next phase, making the carbs and engine more user friendly. This will means getting rid of the flatslides and all that came with it that I...

Friday's is bring your bike to work day for my company. For the past 6 years employees bring the bikes into the office and we all ride to Hooter's for lunch. Well yesterday there were only 2 of us and one co-work in a car. When I pulled into my parking spot I felt a sudden wetness on my ride...

This weekend I did my front brake conversion on my 89 Vmax. I used a set of 2000 R1 rotors, 2007 Busa caliper, EBC HH pads, Galfer lines and Sean's adapter. Everything went only easily, we did have to file away a little of the caliper housing. What a HUGE difference in the braking performance. I...

In my continuing search for good mirrors I came up with a thought. Has anyone tried using the stock mirrors from a 09+ Vmax on an older model? They sharp and the stems appear to be long. Not sure if they have the same size thread or not and if the right side is reverse thread, but it was just...

I recently purchased both the Ricor Intiminator and Progressive Springs. Does any one have experience with both who can give an opinion whether I should use one other the other? My understanding is that I really shouldn't use both.

Since I didn't get an owner's manual with my recent purchase, can anyone with one let me know what the recommended amount of front fork oil is? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Ok I finally picked up my 89 Vmax on Saturday. Because of the weather I only got the opportunity ride it home. Today I rode into work, about an hour ride down the Florida Turnpike. These are my first impressions: Let's get the obvious out way, brakes are getting redone (this was apparent...

Good afternoon all. I currently in the market for a Vmax. Can anyone refer me a local person who is a specialist in working with Vmax? I'm in South Florida (West Palm Beach to be exact). I'd be interested in the normal upgrades (i.e. suspension, brakes, carb...) Any leads would be greatly...

Good morning everyone. This is my first interaction on this sight. I joined a couple of years ago when I was trying to decide on my second bike. I owed an R6 but my new wife hated riding on the back. so I went out in joined the forum to learn a little more about the Vmax. At the time I...
