A Hard Rain Is Going to Fall September 28, 2016 9:46 am victorhanson World events seem relatively calm, but repeated appeasement has built up pressure across the globe, and someone has to be there when crisis erupts. By Victor Davis Hanson // National Review This summer, President...

Brakes work great in dry weather but if I hit a rain storm (just did) Brakes seem to drastically loose efficiency, can freely move lever about an inch before i get any resistance. Then there is only about 1/2 inch left until it hits the bars. Can't figure out why so drastic a change. Seems like...

I am not a "fair weather rider. Rain or shine I'm going to ride. Usually if I know I am going to be rained on I will take my Bandit that has PR3's on it, but it is currently going threw some upgrades that are taken a little longer than anticipated. Currently my max has an Avon road rider on the...

Anyone have issues burning out coils if the bike sits in the rain (or you're washing the bike). I had a set of used R6 coils, and I'm down to two now, as the other two started to arc after it sat in some heavy-ish rain. Not sure if it's the water that's making them go bad or just coincidence.

Any input? I dont ride in the rain but this trip I am sure I ll see some. So I figured I would try and be prepared. Todd

Rant on: Wow!! I can't believe it. I went away to Germany on July 9th. Got back to the states on the 21st. Ordered me a 2014 Vmax on Friday, July 26th. It arrived 10 days later. Got to ride it one time. It has 20 miles on it and it is sitting in my warehouse at my office. It's been raining...

I bought from Ebay a motorcycle jacket for about $70 with a lot of protection, waterproof and vents...it is really HOT inside with or without rain. Unfortunately I live in the tropics and the climate can be soaking hot or humid hot or hot. The thing is that most jackets have polyesther linings...

Hi Folks, Today I drove a little while in the rain. Not my usual thing to do.... But after a while I noticed that the engine during idle so once in a while run lower in rpm and sounded like he mist a cylinder. Only for one or two firerings. My first idea was maybe some moister somewhere...

My wife and I are riding from Minneapolis to glacier national park in June and we don't have rain gear. I went into a local apparel shop to look at frogtroggs or what ever there called. They where running about $80 for the jacket and pants, they go over your other riding gear. But than I found...

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I might have to leave my Vmax outside when I'm up in Minnesota. Neither of them have seen much. Been at least 2 years for the custom and over 20 for my stock. Can anyone recommend a brand or style of cover they have had good luck with? The bike wont be...

2 questions for ya'll 1. When riding in the rain how careful should I be? Like when cornering and what not should I be super careful? I am careful now but I worry alot on highways with long sweeping corners will the bike stay on the road easily? 2. Today well riding in the rain a kid in a...

You have to love it when a warm front comes to the arctic and you get full on freezing rain. First time in many years that they have shut down the busses, schools, non essential personel, and a slew of other things. Time to get rid of the normally sure footed Dodge and get a zamboni. I know...

Ok so the main reason for this post.. I need to replace my chrome fork uppers. I am riding a 93. i believe that i also may need to replace my triple as its now torque. for the reasoning... Went on a ride this weekend, While on my way home from this weekend ride, I was going through the...

I got caught riding home in the rain on Tuesday not my favorite thing to do:bang head: So I rode it before in the rain only a short distance and it was not to bad. Well this time was more to the tune of 80 plus miles of hard driving rain. I am here to tell you I was impressed on how well the...

lets get some oppions on rain suits every try frogg troggs. Lets keep it real not paying 500 bucks for one :punk:

I ride my max daily to work. Rain or no rain. It is completely stock. I bought it to ride! Anyway I was searching through some topics and seems like a lot of people were worried with the vboost in the rain? Why? I read people like to turn it off in rain for peace of mind? Thanks, MG

This one's a no brainer... If you're a Beatle fan, and these guys come to your town, GO! I don't buy into hype very often - but these guys are even more amazing than the online posts, and newspaper articles describe them! Musically, vocally, and visually - this is the closest you'll ever...

This just started to happen. After I wash my bike it runs like crap and sometimes won't even start until things dry out. I don't over spray it, just a gentle rinse and I try to keep the water spray to a minimum. The last time I road in some pretty heavy rain it started to die too. Won't...

Last night I got home from a 3 1/2 hour ride home in the pissing rain. It was to say the least a fucking nerve shocking experience for sure. I don't trust this bike at all in the rain. It hydro planes like a water skier...With no wind shield and at night with a shorty helmet and a stock...

Looking for a rain suit. It's getting too expensive to fill the auto's up with fuel so looking to commute with the Max 100%. I have checked out options at competitionaccessories.com, are there any others?
