Kelly I looked at my big bro's XJR when you emailed last and you were right about the R1 rotor not being countersunk as per Max. The forks on that bike have about the same clearance as a stock Max setup has so it probably would be wise to give the bolts a little haircut as well as countersinking

You learn something every day. Let me know how that ME-880 works out. I have spoken to Don and won't try one yet as my front tyre is a Super Venom and is pretty new. He's not sure the ME-880 will work with the Avon, they are pretty different in design. Which front tyre do you have? or are you

Hi to all. I am new to the list,(South Africa) but have been following the debate on rear tires with interest.For what it's worth,I have recently fitted a 170/80 x 15 Michelin Tarmac. What a transformation! I run a 1996 V-max with Dynojet stage1,K+N filter and Hindle pipe and when not pushing it

Hi Guys, Looking back, I'm pretty sure the Metzeler tire that I used a couple of years ago was the 88, not the 880. It was a TERRIBLE tire. The Old Man and I have gone back and forth about Avon vs. Metzeler for a while. I actually held myself back from saying how bad the Metzeler was compared to

Sat, I had one of the ME88's also some yr's. ago. All the damn thing did is spin. Hit 2nd hard and it wouldn't stop until you backed of the throttle. Aslo tried the Conti's, Michelin, you name it. The 591 was the only thing that would bite, and forgiving on a dirty road. Don "Old Man" Smith

I recently performed the "Furbur Fix" on my V Max ( I don't think I snugged the nuts quite enough). I am really puzzled: why is it necessary to change the order ofn the components from clip - nut - rubber washer - nut to clip - rubber washer - nut - nut? The advantage of leaving the rubber washer

Hey Mario, I think TC's been travelling, if memory serves me correctly. I haven't used the velocity stacks on the max, but they should work pretty well. I'd take off the screen, though, since it's only effective against really BIG debris and will greatly reduce flow rates. (If you don't believe

Don et all, I want to thank everybody for the responses on the tire issue. I've decided to go with the Tarmac and try it out. I hope it hooks up as good as everyone says.(Gotta love that V-max acceleration!) As far as the Furber fix goes, I have never had the desire to do it. I like the
