upgrade

My Max is a stock 92 . As i do get to ride it often im looking at improving brakes etc . Ive been reading the threads on different rotors but some seem to be very expensive and being on a budget out of the ball park . What would be the best setup for the front on a budget and do i need to worry...

So I read up on the front brake upgrade for the pre-93 maxes. I think I've got it, but if my summary below is incorrect, then somebody please smack me. I just bid on two gold Hayabusa 6-pot calipers. My understanding is that I can use the stock reservoir, master cylinder, lines, and rotors...

Hi everyone I'm thinking about upgrading my front brakes over the winter and I'd like to start keeping an eye open for the parts I need. Here are some things I've gathered from various discussions, and I want to make sure that they are accurate: 1. Busa calipers seem to be the way to go. I...

Ok, my exhaust is stock, although it looks as thought it's been drilled. I have a Stage 1 jet kit with a K&N filter. If I wanted to replace the stock cans but leave the stock headers, can I? Would this even be worth while?:bang head: If so, what do you suggest?:ummm: If not, what do you...

G'day, does anyone know of a Xenon upgrade for the 09 Max

Ok i am getting my bike back in a couple days after its carbs will be re built and bike tuned up. So I want to start having fun with it. What is the easiest cheapest performance upgrade - T boost? I wanna start making the bike faster little by little. If I get T boost I def want the option to...

The forum will be down sometime this long weekend for a few hours to upgrade the forum software and add in the new logos people designed for the forum. I can't give an exact date as I'm trying to schedule some free time, but probably Friday. All VMF junkies stock up now! :rofl_200:

I'm not talking about the whole set of controls for billions of dollars. I'm just looking for nicer brake pedal and matching gear shift would be a bonus if found. Anyone makes them? Vitek

What is the advantage of R1 front calipers. I have a master cyl and caliper set off an '06 R1 to put on my '06 Vmax. I believe these are a direct fit. Please help me understand the difference. I guess what I really want to know is what the best brake setup would be(front and rear). Thanks in...

Hey whats up? Last spring I installed a kerker 4-2-1 exhaust and stage 7 kit .Bike runs great although it seems like i lost a little bottom end.This spring i'd like to do the coil spring conversion to the clutch and possibly cams.Which clutch kit is the best?I'd like a stiffer clutch but not one...

My Max is pretty new to me and I'm looking into my options for a clutch upgrade. Here is what I'm thinking my options are. Please correct if I'm wrong or add if I'm missing anything. Double D: Basically you remove the half friction plate, wire retainer, clutch boss and you install a full...

Just fishing for opinions here.... I won't be buying an '09 any time soon and really don't want to get away from the Max right now. So assuming a smokin' deal came along on another Max, what year would you guys look for? What do you think is the nicest, newest VMax that a guy could get for...

How much abuse does the stk driveshaft normally take? What are replacement options? I'm looking to possibly add a turbo to my stk 89 V-max. I've got a braced stk swingarm and i'll be running a 5.5"X17" rear wheel with a 190/50R17 tire. Don't wanna mess anything up or be left stranded...

Hello all... Thought i'd get your opinions on this one.:ummm: So I have a '94 with almost 14k miles on it. Bought it about a year ago for ~$4k with 8k miles on it. Have put about $500 into it between a brand new tire, rotor, pads, etc etc. I have an option perhaps, coming up, to buy a 2003...

I recently purchased a 06 max with 1600 miles and I'm thinking about upgrading the suspension. I've tentatively decided on Progressive shocks (412) 12.5 and up front a set Progressive front lowering springs. What do you guys think and is there something better but not to outrageous $$$ wise? Thanks

I've finished an upgrade on the forum software. Let me know of any issues that you find. Dannymax pointed out an issue on the vbblue skin where the colour choice for the fonts did not work. This has been fixed with upgrade. :clapping: Also I've eliminated the 5 latest threads from the vbblue...
