This is the same exhaust system I have on my 86 for 34 years a counting, and all my friends still take about it,this bike and exhaust make you feel alive.
Dude, you're on the wrong side of the road. Seriously though, what a video. No words spoken, exhaust demo of idle, onboard driving and drive-by. You covered it all perfectly in a short, simple video.
I had an '86 with a kerker k2 header. Full time v-boost,k& n seperate filters & jetted. Sounded almost exactly like that! Hard to get that exact sound. Soul stirring! It's got that "let's get shit done now!" sound. Great video!
Yes it's definitely sound like it want to pick a fight at the redlight 😂 Now I have 2 inch shortened yoshimura and put stage 7 needles in. It runs even better now 👌💪👍
My gma inherited her husband's VMAX when he passed, he and her bought it new in 97 and he put this exhaust on, let me tell ya, video does ZERO JUSTICE how insane this shit sounds.
Holy crap I'm so glad I found this video I have been thinking about buying a vmax for a couple weeks and this has pushed me to go get one that is a wicked sound
@@kick-start-to-die no video but easy to do. There's a round connector for the v-boost solenoid under the left scoop. When you turn ignition on you can hear the valve it does its circle opens up and close back. Just unplug it when it's in open position ( halfway through the circle) and done. I use the kill switch to stop the valve at open position unplug the connector than kill switch back. 😎😎
Always wanted a vmax, one of the baddest bikes ever built. I race dirtbikes and always loved being on 2 wheels but never pulled the trigger on a road bike. This past weeekend I traded my 90 yz490 and a grand for a 99 vmax and dam is it a moster my first road bike. I'm in OHIO it's cold af here can't wait to start riding it. This video got me wanting one even more and I got it now lol it has the 4-1 kerker on it as well. Awesome video man love that sound.
Go easy on the throttle! No offense to you because i bet you are a good rider with your dirt bike experience but being extra careful is always important!
Im soon 66 years old and recently the baddest 94 max on the planet... yellow with commorimativ painting from Yamaha racing yrs winning... Kenny Roberts and Bob Hannah...may be to much power for me tried to torque my 160 lb ass off in a 75mph whillie..whooo i respect it now... thinking about selling it.... still like new and 30 yrs old
That sounds meaner then mine with kerker also. I had 1428cc build head work big valves to 5 angle and cam you name it. 161hp and Dyno tuned. Yours sounds great. Kx144cc you can find mine at first startup
Does it have packing & a baffle? Do you have to wear earplugs while riding? Is it that loud? Quieten down @ idle or low throttle? My UFO Quadzilla set up on my Vmax is just too dang loud. Have to wear earplugs. Was thinking about switching to these kerker slip ons.
I have same pipe and no ear plugs, enjoy the sound and ride for shot periods of time, mine sound the same and it has the baffle and packing, but I do have completed 4-1 ,headers and baffle. Had it 30 years now.
It has the 1.5 baffle without the packing. I like the sound without the packing. Not loud at all in real I ride every day and don't need ear plugs don't give me headache. I also have the 2.5 baffle but that's crazy loud. I can't enjoy the ride with that.
Yeah that's one of the main reason why I felt in love with the Vmax. I love watching the drivers faces through their mirrors when I'm filtering between cars at the traffic lights. They're looking for v8 car or something.😂😎🤪
Not really. Mechanically the final drive bearing worn out and now the starter clutch needs to replaced other then that very reliable. I use every day commuting and so far so good!👍
@@Insaiyanrider all that work done by me. It's very easy and simple even the starter clutch. The 2nd gear only goes bad if you or the previous owner slam into second without clutch on partial throttle. ( Like any other bikes) These are old bikes needs some TLC sometimes but nothing major. I actually like doing /fixing occasionally.
How in the HELL does a 1200cc V4 sound like some wicked built V8? Just how? Hell a single cylinder from a 350 chevy is almost the same displacment as this whole motor. Im exaggerating a bit i know, 712cc vs 1197cc.

Now if that doesn't strike love in your heart, nothing will. Cant ever misplace the sound of a V-max
I got a Vmax a month ago. Saw this video and vowed I'd get this pipe because it sounds insane! Today my Jet kit and Kerker came in!
Bro, get a set of flat slides too.
Be respectful on dat nasty beast

These bikes have crazy power. My brother has had several. Street Beast.

This makes me miss summer so bad. Can’t wait till the salt is off the road and its warm again!
That is *the* classic pipe for the Vmax
I had a VMax 1200 with a 300 rear tire and a 4 to 1 kirker exhaust built by MadMax out in Connecticut, friggin sick
Awesome video. Sounds like it's worth every penny. I love the look of a kerker as well.
Holy crap I'm so glad I found this video I have been thinking about buying a vmax for a couple weeks and this has pushed me to go get one that is a wicked sound
That's why I bought the Vmax. I fell in love with the sound.👍🏻😎
@@benyos01 question, do you think just running the Kerker 4-1 with stock jets would damage the engine?
@@kick-start-to-die definitely won't do any damage. I only changed the stock main jets a bit smaller and running open v-boost.
@@benyos01 is there a good video you would recommend for doing such to the v-boost?
@@kick-start-to-die no video but easy to do. There's a round connector for the v-boost solenoid under the left scoop.

I always wanted a vmax so i picked up a 2005 with a 4 into 1 Kerner and I haven't stopped smiling yet.😅
Excellent video VMax brother. I was not expecting that ride along and sounded fantastic...Be careful and thanks
I had an 85 V-Max with a Kerker exhaust, that bike made you respect power, or you were a dead man.

@@suckalamink always careful, got kids 2 feed Bill's to pay lol
Insane!!!!!
Love it!
Oh My God😲I love you-v-max😍
You had to remove the centerstand and centerstand tabs for this pipe though!! But totally worth it!
Hold on Boi ... this is the best sounding vmax I've ever heard..
Love this video this guy can ride 🏁
damn that sounds nice. i think i need a vmax for the days where i want to be comfortable.

Giggles,,,,,,awesome!
This guy can ride.
I have a 94 max. Same pipe. 170 mains. OMG SCARY FAST.
Woo hooooo nice one. The thing is a missile
Looks good, sounds good 👍🏻
A sound an R6 will never know.
Katie bar the door that mother is on a roll!!!
I don't really need one but omg do I want one.
that things sounds fucking sweet
Great video/audio work!
This is awesome

0:21 👀 omg v8 sounds

Reported! TH-cam doesn't allow pornography. Lol, a V Max with 4-1 is by far the best sounding motorcycle. Please post up some more videos if ya could!

@@benyos01 I'm trying to get one this weekend, that sound
That sounds meaner then mine with kerrker. Mine was 1428cc PCW build 161hp. Your bike stock? Mine was Dyno tuned also. Sounds good
If you have never owned a Vmax, then you just dont know.
Yum
Sounds sick. Are you running with the normal vboost setup or is it always on?
Always on💪👍
@@benyos01 Thanks!
How do you make your v-boost always on? I have a 2004 v-max I'm wanting to do that to.
Wonderful sound! Apart from the exhaust system, may I ask what mods are done to the bike (airbox, jet kit etc.?) Thanks.
Only mods are k&n air filter in the stock box and dropped the main jets to #147.5. That's all.👍
@@benyos01 OK, thanks. Seems to be running great! I'll aim for the same then :-)
@@atamas73 nincs mit!😎
@@benyos01 Hajrá! :-)
Can i download? Excuse me
That sounds meaner then mine with jerker.

Same sound as American v8
Fuckin hell, that sounds ridiculous!
Stock motor with just 4-1 header?
Or is there more done to it than that?
Have you had much issues with the vmax ?
Not really. Mechanically the final drive bearing worn out and now the starter clutch needs to replaced other then that very reliable. I use every day commuting and so far so good!👍
@@benyos01 thanks ! All that work can be done by yourself or a mechanic ?
@@benyos01 was it hard to replace ? I hear 2nd gear gives out
@@Insaiyanrider all that work done by me. It's very easy and simple even the starter clutch.
The 2nd gear only goes bad if you or the previous owner slam into second without clutch on partial throttle. ( Like any other bikes)
These are old bikes needs some TLC sometimes but nothing major. I actually like doing /fixing occasionally.
