VMAX Uncovered by V-Sting
- From: johnrote
-
Description:
I recently bought a brand new 2009 VMAX 1700. The person that ordered it last year didn't collect, however I did and am now the proud owner of the VMAX. I used to hate the old VMAX because it could beat my old bike, the 1985 Honda V65 Magna. These two bikes are very different, however. Honestly, the old Honda ran out of guts down the 1/4 mile. The VMAX does not. The guy I bought it from said it would spin the back tire in 3rd gear. The first three gears take some getting used to though. You don't know whether to go all out or keep the throttle back. What I mean is that I was concerned about spinning the wheel at 60 mph and popping a wheelie. But, looking back, I guess I never got on it enough to raise the front. That is until now. I have had the front end off the ground now. Incidentaly, I have made it past the 1000 mile mark and it is almost ready for a good drag with someone. I still haven't went balls out from a dead stop to the end of a quarter. I have a good place to do the quarter, but we'll see.
I put a small windshield on it, but haven't ridden it since. I will tomorrow. Stay tuned to see if the windshield is sturdy enough to take the wind. I think I'll put a smoke tint on the windshiled once I find out if I like it or not. It will match the black body better. Keeps the heavy rain off and also gives me a break from the wind on my 40 mile commute to work. I can take it off really easy if I want to. The only drawback after the initial setup on the windshield is that I had to rotate the clutch lever and reservoir downward. That means to pull the clutch I have to chase it over the top, rather than reaching up for it. It shouldn't be a problem when I'm riding upright, but when I'm trying to lean forward and keep the front end down in the quarter it will be a chore to reach the clutch without having carpal tunnel syndrome set in by the end of the day.
I hope to someday get a video of the bike going down the road in all 5 gears. But, nothing can demonstrate the amount of torque and power this thing has. You just have to be on it. It just keeps pulliing. The pro rider that works for Yamaha said it best, "any more power and this thing would not be street legal".
I find myself looking in my rearview alot. What I mean is I think it's fun to get out on the interestate and get in front of a car and the car thinks he's going to go right up my tail end. Of course, I don't let that happen. A quick flick of the wrist and a gear change and I've left the scene. Or, as I'm getting on the onramp I let the vehicle pass me doing 70. I'm barely going 20 getting ready to get onto the interstate. By the time we hit the end of the onramp I'm already ahead of him. I know they must think I'm crazy, thinking "what some of these bikers do nowadays. It's really dangerous", but in reality they don't know how much power the bike has and therefore think I'm riding crazy. I'm actually just using acceleration just like they do when they jump on the interstate. It's just that they've never seen something move so fast. Anyway, it's entertaining for me and that's what counts.
Got to go. More from "V-Sting" later.

Hi I’m mike I live in Umatilla FL. That’s just north of Orlando FL next to the Rat.
I ride a 2007 Kawasaki Nomad and I love it. No disrespect to the Harley riders. But I find it has a much better ride. Yes I have ridden a Harley several times.
I have added several things to personalize my ride. They are risers from Scootworks, a Hypercharger Pro from Kuryakyn
Highway pegs from Kuryakyn
Kuryakyn Rainbow Strobe
Mud Flaps from Chilhowee which by the way has some great leather goods. Check them out www.chilhowee.net
Vance & Hines Duel Bagger Pipes
DynoJet Power Commander
I have some other plans just need to come up with the money.
I love to ride and have taken a couple of long distance rides. The first one was to Savannah, then Biloxi Mississippi, and to New Orleans. I have a plan to go back to Savannah and next year I am planning a ride to Montana. I’m not sure of the town’s name. It escapes me right now. Any way just remember, life is uncertain folks, have your dissert first.

WARTHOG RACING AND MOTOCONCEPT
- From: karmahappens

Description:
I love the folks at Warthog Racing, they are so awesome for disadvantaged moto riders. I thought I would share their press release. Anybody a moto fan out there?
Newbury Park, CA. While everybody else in the industry was focused on the 2009 AMA Monster Energy Supercross series, Jeff Hopkins toiled alone in a cave in Colorado trying to build a better Moto mouse trap. Not only that, he was doing this but for a single purpose – to help provide funding for the Privateer racers. Specifically, Jeff’s love for motocross, the privateers, and the Warthog Racing Academy provided the ingredients for the supernatural alchemy that resulted in the perfect vehicle to embody his dreams – www.ProMotoFan.com(which is built and maintained by the 2nd Fan in Command Bryan Heifner) as well as Jeff’s onsite fun and games planned for every race in the 2009 The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
ProMotoFan, who will be represented by Jeff Hopkins at every outdoor national, will be working tirelessly to support the privateers as well as entertain the fans. Jeff will be stationed at the Warthog Racing Complex in the pits between 9:00am through 12:00pm noon, passing out FREE raffle cardsand FREE Official Race Game cards honoring the hard working privateers of Warthog Racing. This game is the premier fantasy pick em’ game of Pro Motocross and Supercross and will soon set the bar for excellence and contributions back to the sport. Fans will be encouraged to take onsite game cards to play against their friends for bragging rights during the National itself. A raffle drawing will be conducted at the Warthog Racing Complex and a lucky winner will take home some cool swag. At 12:30pm, ProMotoFan will high tail it up to the MotoConcepts stall on Vendor’s row to continue to pass out raffle cards and game cards until 5:00pm. At that time, MotoConcepts will hold another raffle drawing, with the winner scoring the new MotoPad product, enhances both the cleanliness and visual appeal of the bike stalls in each pit. This product is made by up-and-coming MotoConcepts Company. The MotoPad is already an indispensible product to riders like Ryan Villopoto, Ricky Dietrich, Damon Huffman, andDestry Abbott, with the roster of professional and amateur users growing daily (seewww.MotoConcepts.com/Products.htm)
Now after having so much fun at the races because of the herculean efforts of ProMotoFan, Warthog Racing, and MotoConcepts, your time to make a difference to the sport of Motocross and Supercross comes when you get home from the race and sit down in front of your computer. This is where the fun and games really begin. Get ON-LINE and go directly to www.ProMotoFan.com and resister as a user. Next you pick the series you would like to compete in. The 2009 WMA Women’s Pro National Motocross Series is FREE to play all season long while The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship costs only $20 to contest in entire series, with a hefty portion of the revenues going directly to the men and women of the Warthog Racing Academy. Great prizes are given out weekly from such luminaries in the industry like DeCal Works as well as the myriad of Gear companies that cloth and protect the men and women of the 2009 Warthog Racing Academy. The Grand prize includes a trip for 2 to one round of the 2010 AMA Monster Energy Supercross series (round to be mutually agreed upon by the winner and ProMotoFan) to become full crew members of Warthog Racing. The trip includes airfare, hotel, tickets with industry pit passes, a Championship #1 Plate, Team pit shirts, and full access to the Warthog Racing Pit Complex and Hospitality area.
This program has something for everyone – the privateers, the fans, and the sponsors. Dare to make a difference and sign up today!! www.ProMotoFan.com
“Why is this urgent?“, say Warthog Racing Chief Altruistic Officer Scott Kandel, “because Warthog Racing and MotoConcepts Racing are taking almost 40 men and women to the 2009 Motocross Championship. This ain’t cheap my friends and in this economy all the Money Trees have gone dormant so it’s up to you to help in ways that will make a difference in a very difficult year for many riders. Plus you’ll have a lot of fun doing it!!!”
This upcoming outdoor season would not be possible without our committed and actively engaged sponsor/partner group. We have teamed up with the following entities: MotoConcepts, Mike Genova, Pete Nauditt, DeCal Works, Smooth Industries, Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI), Gear Racewear, RacerX Illustrated, MDK Motorsports, Transworld Motocross, Vanquish MX, P-LoK, DT1 Air Filters, MXResultz.com, Devol Engineering, Liquid Performance, LongShot Racing, CP Pistons, VP Fuel, Dunlop, The Plumber Inc., MB2 Raceway, Edgile Consulting, Feld Motorsports, MotionPro, Dana K Business Parks, Atlantic Promotions, NXTAgency, Kardy Photography, Relentless Media, MotoTees, Dirt Rider Magazine, Motocross Action Magazine, MartialMoto, Honolulu Hills Raceway, L&M Racing, and Fire and Police MX.
With this fine group, anything is possible. And special thanks to MX Sports. Because of their full support, dozens of privateers get the opportunity to live their dreams.
Take care and we’ll see you at the races!!

Description:
Folks, I apologize that I haven't been able to get back with you regarding your very much appreciated comments and questions. The problem is that I have been having a tremendous amount fo difficulty navigating this site! It seems to be a fluke that I managed to post this. For the past week, I keep going around in circles trying to do anything here. I try to respond to message, post a blog note, anything I try has not been working. I end up having to login a dozen times when I try to respond to a message or update my profile and I always end up on my home page going nowhere. I am about the most laid-back, even tempered person you will ever meet, but my patience has been tried to the point that I have requested that my account here be sent bye-bye. I would rather be gone than to let it just sit here and have people think I am blowing them off because that it not the case. As a matter of fact, how I managed to get here to post this time is beyond me.
As long as I did make it this far, I will say to Mike, "Do the Longshot HS pipes and leave the baffles in the box!" The nice part of the longshots is that the really loud stuff is behind you so your hearing doesn't get terribly brutalized while you get an awesome sound from your ride. In my case, EVERYBODY in the neighborhood knows when I mount the steel horse and hit the trail! One word of caution: If you do not use the baffles, you may run lean enough to require rejetting to eliminate the annoying backfire when you get off the throttle and to protect your valves. You might be okay if you do keep the baffles in. If you get the bang-pops when you let off the throttle, you're running too lean.
Just tossing in and extra two cents worth oof my opinion, when you do the pipes, dump the stock intake, too, and go for something that will let the engine breath all the way through. I did the Kuryakyn Hypercharger Pro but there are other after-market intakes that will accomplish the same thing. In opening up the airways, you will need to rejet the carb or you will be runining way lean enough to do some damage. I used the jet kit that came with the Hypercharger Pro. I only had to change one of the jets per the instructions that came with the Hypercharger Pro for my 1700. The one that was changed used the 3rd clip position with excellent results. The most important part is to not mess around with a $600 carb unless you are very experienced or very wealthy. Even though I am very mechanically oriented, I let the shop mechanic to do the jet work because I am not wealthy enough to make a $600 boo-boo.
A note to all- I appreciate your comments and I am glad I can bring a smile to your faces merely by hunting deer with a 1700cc bullet. :-) Please don't get PO'd if it seems I don't respond. I am trying, but as I said at the beginning, I am having a hell of a time trying to do anything here. Please bear with me....
