I was at the drags tonight. While I was doing my burnout, it sounded like it was overrevving(floating out) but the rpms weren't that highmaybe 5 0r 6 thousand. I proceded to do a dry run and it didn't feel just right. So I go down the track, and the bike feels really weak. I had made 3 passes...

Could someone please tell me where the top of the fork should be in relation to the top clamp. When I bought the bike new in '03 the forks were sitting down 1/4 " below the top of the clamp and I thought this was correct since the dealer installed it that way. Been riding it like that ever since...

Has anyone defined their speed limiter with a trap speed? In the quarter mile, my trap speeds have consistently plateaued now around 127mph. I know the indicated speed is exagerrated and it was indicating 130's already when my trap speed were 120ish, so now I wonder if I'm being limited by the...

Top Secret Air Force General: Mr. President, we've just invented an invisibility cloak for Air Force One. Obama: No joke? General: That's right, sir. Will you be going along on its maiden flight? Obama: Wouldn't miss it for the world. General: Have a good trip, sir.

This is by far the most top heavy bike i've ever own/ridden. What can we do to help with it? I thought about lowering the seat, lowering the bike but was going to ask... thanks, sid

I bought a 2002 with 7000 miles, in stock condition. I live at 4000 ft. I put a pipe on it and jet kit, kn filter with y's removed off box Fresh plugs The most I can get out of the bike is 220 km/hr. before or after mods. It runs good to about 125 mph then accel reallly slows. for the last...

So i'm trying to figure out the top things you should do to a vmax when you get. I've already gone through changing oil, diff fluid, brake fluid, etc. What are the best bang for the buck mods that you all would recommend? What mods could you guys not live without? Anything that is a must...

Hey folks: The very top threaded portion on a custom triple tree I have (the part where the top nut goes down over the top of the triple tree) is stripped/ruined. Let's imagine I cannot replace this triple tree....so, what can I do to fix this muddled mess? Is there any Helicoil big enough...

My understanding is that the Vmax is in there somewhere , does anyone have that list or know what # it came in at ..:punk:

Hey folks: Like a dimwit, I mis-threaded a top nut on a project I'm doing to my 1986 FZX700 Fazer (I put YZF750 USD forks and an altered triple tree on it). Anyway, now the threads at the very top part of the triple tree are beyond rescue (I think), and somehow I still need to to rescue...

Here is the top 10 choices for the contest. This poll will close Sunday June 21st with the winner announced that evening. There was a tie for spots in Poll #2 so Jodi broke the tie. Also, she made a suggestion for a name that was added because there is some history behind it. The name is...

1) I usually just glide up to the traffic and flick it into neutral whilst coasting. 2) When riding with the group of latest sportsbikes, I leave' em for dead because they can't keep up through the turns. 3) The stock brakes are incredible! 4) I wish it had a smaller fuel tank. 5) It is...

Have Stage I kit w/K&N air filter and Kerker slip ons. Any advantage to taking top "Y" of air box off? If this is done, how do you secure air filter to continues to be effective?:confused2:

i read an article in a new motorcycle magazine yesterday that said the new V-Max was turning 3,900 rpm's in 5th gear at 70 mph. i think the magazine was Cycle World? anyway, that means at 140 mph the motor is spinning at 7,800 rpm's. i see that according to the dyno the bike makes 174 rwhp at...

I was told the Top speed of the new max is 135. The quarter mile times and such that have been mentioned are by calculations based on weight and hp. not a real pass because the bike wont actually make it to 145 mph. Please tell me this guy dont know jack! However he is a Drag racer of a 2000...

I guess this has been asked before,but what is the top speed for a stock VMAX? I;ved never held mine long enough to find out but I can say she'll do 145 and still be pulling hard! Several places on the net give HP ratings and quarter mile times but no top speed. Just curious if anyone knows...
