Yamaha Vmax idle

[MrDavid3224]

my uncle just bought a vmax and he was wondering where did u get your back seat from?

[BigJimandMurphy]

@MrDavid3224 Ikea

[mvvette97]

@MrDavid3224 not sure man it was on there when I bought the bike.

[ThePracticalTheorist]

@MrDavid3224 The back seat is standard, and the sissy bar is an optional extra. Can still be bought from some dealers, but also available on ebay.

[frontier1701]

WOW... sounds like a musclecar

[youjgh26]

LOVE IT!!

[FeebLe26181]

What year is this Vmax?

[mvvette97]

1989

[keidall]

what a beauty this is startn to become my fave bike..that and the fazer strike me.

[mvvette97]

yea the vmax isn't the fastest bike these days but the sound of them make up for it. I've never had a bike that sounds like a small block V8 other than the vmax

[islandluv1]

though their top speed isn't very spectacular for the power output....they still excell in 0-60 times, and considering no local roads ever even pass 50....I'd say that a low top speed is fine by me! lol, funny you say it's the only bike that sounds like a small block v8...cause even the boss hoss zz4, which ACTUALLY HAS a small block 350 ls1 v8, don't even sound as good as these, lol! These are truly the perfect bikes in my opinion...cruiser styling with sportbike performance........"Perfection­"

[mattpaintball44]

what exhaust is that?

[mvvette97]

Kerker

[Abraxxas1127]

Only one exhaust that sounds that sweet... nice bike man, sounds fantastic.

[SPion9257]

i dynoed my 1985 vmax and it has 145.6 hp to the wheels

[thehairytrio]

to me these bikes are all about the sound.. the sound makes me want one lol wayyyy better sounding than a harley which is just a tractor with a bit of chrome

[SirJazz]

in germany we build those babys with direct injection. u should google about it. this is pure power.

[daviogc]

Sounds like junk to me... Harley for life!!!

[mvvette97]

Harley?? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I guess you can hate me for liking performance

[RDWARRYR442]

only harley comes close to beating a V-max is a Buell with extensive mods...at three times the cost and three times the ongoing maintenece!! I know cause i been there...

[RDWARRYR442]

harleys suck, just like the recycled budweiser cans they are made from

[hippygypsy]

HAHAHA!!! I wish I could give you 50 thumbs up, dude!!!

[zachzeiders92]

sounds amazing, i love these bikes.

[pbmax]

This guy is my hero. He rides a lot like myself.

[irondragsportster]

Shaft drive on the drag strip is death........try it!

[mvvette97]

why is that?

[irondragsportster]

The shaft drive has little lash and when launching on asphalt the stress of the horsepower is transmitted back the the cases/angles drive from the tranny to the driveshaft. The cases will eventually crack after enough launches. I remember about 20 years ago there was a kid in an XS1100 Yamaha who fitted a chain drive in place of the drive-shaft......he went on to rule the fuel class after working out other bugs.

[dcpvmax]

Because the 145 stock horse power of the Vmax, only about 115 of it accually get to the rear tire, on the Vmax's shaft drive setup.

[RDWARRYR442]

only 115 hp! that sucks...lol

[jacarpaiska]

not really considering the weight the engine has to pull... 90 hp in a compact car can provide 115 mph 1 hp in a nitro r/c car can provide 70mph

[Waylander22]

Dude is that the Holshot exhaust? You might look into thier new 4-2 full system. Sounds much better.

[nosvmax]

sounds and looks like a kerker 4-1

[mvvette97]

yes it is

[mvvette97]

yea they still make them. I think they changed the look of them for next year. They look kinda neat. You could buy a new on for around 12k if I remember right.

[brandenhughes]

how much is it

[mvvette97]

You mean the bike?

[brandenhughes]

yea, i think they dont make those any more but, it never hurts to check. lol

[Popscribble]

Nice bike i have the same specially make qualifiers too i love the blue

[vmaxdude2000]

You need to get rid of that chick muffler. Use the competion baffle. That baffle does not do your motor work any justice. I've had one in for 8 years now and have never been pulled over for loud pipes.

[mvvette97]

WHERE CAN I GET ONE AT? i DON'T CARE HOW LOUD IT IS BECAUSE i CAN'T HEAR WORTH A SHIT ANYWAY

[vmaxdude2000]

Call LCR Performance in Rochester N.Y. His name is Larry.He knows vmaxes better than anyone.(585)-458-8185 He can easily get you the right baffle. I guarantee he will not dissappoint. He does chain drives and all sorts of goodies for the vmax. Tell him Pearl referred you. Let me know how you make out. Happy Riding, Peace Out!

[Poison666lord]

I bet that chick is hotter than hell.

[mvvette97]

what???

[Poison666lord]

hahahah your v-max man, is hotter than hell!

[mvvette97]

haha, I was lost for a second. Thanks
