Another $.02, I also had alot of problems with the concept of a 4 cylinders into 1 exhaust tip, working beter than a 4 cylinder into 4 exhaust tips. If you apply real world experiences, it would seem that more exhaust tips means more places for the exhaust to leave the system = better

The U. S. also has restrictions on how much "intake" noise a imported vehicle can produce. I have heard some say that is the reason for the two 1" intake holes on the Max. I do not know how much water this holds because the air box is the same at all locations in the world. I think the

The repair rep. at the dealer here in El Paso recomended against full syn., but semi like Yamalube is fine. Take it for what it is worth. I think as long as the oil is desgined for "wet clutches", it should be fine. Kraig VMOA 1328 The "P-51" Long Range Max

It's me with the oil drinking V-Max again OK I took the advice of the list and pulled my air box cover to see if my oil consumption problem was due to a PCV problem. My air box is clean as a whistle - no oil. The next step was to pull the plugs and examine them. I have four PICS of my

Mad Max makes a riser you can see on Paul's web page. It helps but if you mount them drooping and not to the rear, they still hit. I have a chip in my "tank cover" to prove it. Kraig VMOA 1328 The "P-51" Long Range Max . To unsubscribe go to
