One problem with the turbo vmax is the low overall gearing,compared with the
current sportbikes on the market.This lets the engine overrev too easdy on
boost.The only way I know to correct this would be to go to chain drive so
you can readily change gear ratios.My other bike is a 900 SuzukiRF with a
chain.I'll take my Vmax for most riding because of the cleaning and lubing
the chain every 500 miles and replacement of chain and sprockets every 20k
or so.I've had my Vmax since 1988 and have only drained and refilled the
final drive a few times-no parts replacements.5000 miles on the Suzuki rear
tire is a stretch.The shaft is much superior for a power cruiser because of
low maintenance and the rear wheel stays cleaner.
