    Oil Change Help

    Hello all, First time poster here. I have a pretty dumb question, and I'll be honest, I'm a bit embarrassed to ask it. I'm a pretty competent wrench, and have restored quite a few bikes over the years, but this is my first time getting my hands dirty on a VMax. I'm helping out a friend who...

    Valve Cover Gasket Change - Step By Step

    Step 1: Buy a rope Step 2: Hang yourself Actually, just pull the engine out. It might be easier. The inner cover bolts could only be accessed with an allen wrench. 1/4 turns at a time all the way out. Then the timing chain pulled the new gasket off when I tried to install the cover over...

    Hi Guys, Still having a self battle about selling vs keeping my Gen 2 Vmax. I thought I would change the oil and to be honest it is in winter storage and I didn't even look at it last summer to see if it was just like the gen 1's to do oil changes. It's been awhile since I owned my last...

    How to change seating position?

    I find myself putting my feet on the rear pegs on the highway and I have even considered clip ons for the bars. I miss the fit of the CBR I used to have as I find it very hard to keep my back straight on the Vmax, it always wants to curl and I want my knees bent more and my feet further back...

    2012 with 475 miles been sitting... oil change??

    I have a 2012 vmax with about 475 miles on it. I bought it a few years ago and it had to sit in a nice garage for a while because I was not around to ride it. The battery still has enough juice to start it but I am concerned about the oil. It is the original crank case oil and it's old at this...

    How do you change your rear shocks?

    Hi, I've just gotten myself a pair of 444's. Is the centerstand enough to jack up the rear to replace the shocks? I'm thinking that the rear part might collapse if I remove both OEM shocks. Anyone with experience?' Thanks!

    Low speed wobble after rear tire change

    I changed my worn out metzeler 880 to michelin commander II and now bike "wobbles" around 40-45mph, it feels like its up and down movement? I can take my hands of the bars when it occurs. I think it made this sometimes with old tire too, but now it is all the time at that speed. Lower or higher...
