quick

can i have someone with a 120 bias ply front tire get me some measurements? just curious how 'wide' the 120 tire is 'as the eye sees it' from looking straight on. also , as the 'eye' sees it from a side of the bike perspective. off the wheel, how high does the 'sidewall' go and then how high...

Hi all, just thought I'd post a quick hello since I haven't been around much since moving to Perth, Australia. Not having a bike doesn't help much either, but I'm hoping to be able to do something about it soon! Kyle watch out I feel I may want a Vmax again ;-) GF and I are moving house in 3...

Had the day off so quickly removed the tail and used the metal tail liner to protect wiring. Installed Kellermans. Before.... After....

After trying to lift the battery out with my fat fingers I resorted to asking the wife, even though she could get her fingers into the battery space she didnt have the strength to lift it so I resorted to adding zip ties to the lugs. When I installed the new battery I did the same, leaving the...

Took my Hero cam out with me today, mostly avoided the highways but got in in this one spot that's a "safe" place to wind up the speed a bit. It's a little valley...a slight grade down followed by a steeper grade up. I get on it right at the drop off, and at about 0:30 I start going uphill...why...

Thanks for looking in - I'm trying to clean up my carbs with the "Shotgun method" and wanted to ask how many times is recommended to shoot carb cleaner and air etc per carb? Is air pressure important? - I turned it down to 60 psi to shoot down PAJ 1 and 2. The idle mixture screw was full of...

hey anyone have a front wheel laying around they can grab a few measurements for me quick? 1 - distance between the inside of the two rotors (mating surface to mating surface) 2 - distance between the outside of the two bearings. Thanks!

Xtranormal.com pretty cool site, has some bugs but still cool, i made this today to celebrate the wicked witch of the west getting kicked out of office http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qws_BHYUS34

More to come...I just downloaded this off the camera. This has the Tyga CF with Sean's muscle seat (CF+silver stitching). I haven't decided whether I'm going to add the "Yamaha" to the CF scoops yet.

it recorded basically no sound so i threw a couple corny songs up over it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNZ7uOAwRRE edit: u cant tell in the video but my front wheel comes off the ground several times... and some sharp turns dont look very sharp at all?? oh and the sun looks like a black hole...

I have read through all I can find on the cop upgrade and printed out the list I found for what fits. I found a set of Denso from an 04 gsxr 600 but the list I have doesn't show these as ones that fit. Has the list been updated and will these work?? Thanks Duke

So I am going to change my oil today and I want to buy the oil drain plug washer - what size do I need? Bikes at ladies moms house and I am stopping at autoshop to pick up washer on way to bike.

Would someone mind looking at their clutch lever and telling me if it looks like this: Picture is lousy I know, but what I wanna know is how the lever is supposed to connect with the pushrod coming out of the MC - you can see that my pushrod is just sitting in the hole in the lever. Am I...

hey all, just thought I'd say a quick hi now that I'm out of the frozen snowy UK I spent the last couple of months in. I'm now in Perth, Western Australia, for another two months. It's summer here! About 30+ (centigrade, that's 90s) everyday, and lovely and warm at night too. It never rains...

Because people asked - I shall answer :) Like the original look of the white lettered Dunlop Qualifiers that came on the Max at some point in it's history? I sure did - as it really gives it that "muscle car" look. I was asked by three separate people this weekend at the bike show how I did...

I have my bike in a heated storage and I put Seafoam in the gas and filled it up before putting in storage. Each month ( which has only been 1 so far ) I go there and turn the ley to fill the bowls. Should I start it from time to time also? Thanks Ron

I need a new starter solenoid because mine's on its way out. I bought one from ebay like 2 weeks ago and got an email from them saying that they were out of stock and repaid me. I found this one on ebay...

OK so I gather than the 97-or-so and up Vmax has wider forks. Does this mean that the whole fork set up is wider, just the shiny upper tubes are wider, or just the bottom tube "sleeves" (excuse my poor terminology - still learnin) are wider? Will a newer model shiny upper fork tube fit into...

Does altering when v-boost kicks in improve 1/4 stats. also my max surges at very low speeds with throttle held in fixed position, only at low RPM, its been piped, jetted ( I don't know what stage jet kit ) and filtered. when I hit the throttle she might cough just a touch but comes on...
