I was told to stay with Yamlube and i bought mine from yamaha direct not through a dealer, its never bee n back and never will, thats how the integrity of this will stay. Yes its a MAX, but looking at high milage Yamaha engines well maintained and serviced, I have seen amazing numbers and performance unchanged. I recommend every six months change of season oil change and a must before the summer heat and afterwards into the fall before it goes into winter storage. At 60, i will try to ride MaX untill i cant and i trust that will be past 90...lol. Enjoy your bikes guys they are a very tough long lasting powerhouse, treat them right and they will outlast as long as they have fresh oil in them. If Yamaha warranty can state this then o expect these bikes will be ridable iand reliable n their vintage years
The Yamaha VMAX is perhaps the most American motorcycle ever produced by Japan! This amazing motorcycle would absolutely suck in Japan and in most areas around the world. However, in the United States of America, this may be the best motorcycle ever built from a factory! It is as American as baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie! I would argue, ten-times more American than Chevrolet! I would have the Yamaha VMAX proudly trailered behind a Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7 King Ranch and feel nothing but the Star’s Spangled Banner running through my veins! The death of the VMAX is a crying shame!
I’ll be running the full synthetic in mine as long as I’m able and riding my Max , since I failed to register it within the 10% over first scheduled oil change interval that being 0-800 miles. I believe it to be without looking it up. About to turn 6,000 miles and will this week with one fill up. The 1700 produces lots of heat around town which I try to avoid but it happens especially during school traffic stop and go. I’ve had the temp. approach the hot side during its break-in from Florida north to Arkansas. It was in Tallahassee where my first service was performed at or near 450 miles. Full synthetic at that point forward. I was worried about losing the extended warranty I purchased at that point since I had no idea that Yamalube offered the 100,000 mile warranty. Take care and stay safe! 🏍
It is strange that dealerships don't mention the Yamalube warranty when people buy bikes. Speaking of the heat the 1700 generates, I have a video planned on that very topic. Good to see you are on the bike again. How is your health?
@@JeffMarcumI get another Pet scan this coming Wednesday. I’m hoping that it’s a major improvement over the first one . Still have 4 more infusions to go before this nightmare is over, maybe ?. One scheduled for next Friday. I won’t be doing any riding after the Chemo for a minimum of a week, more like 2 weeks before I fully recover. Just thankful for the good days right now. Today is a another good one. Take care Jeff
Great content Mark! Keep ‘em coming!
Master Jeff, that is good thinking on your part and I heartily agree. On my two newer Fords the dealer does not recommend using their full Syn., but using their blend since I change every 5000 miles. Thanks for the video as I always look forward to them. :)
live long and enjoy the bike - blessed
Yo en mi vmax 1700 uso ,motul 10 w 50 vivo en España Andalucía y va perfectamente no es caro y no he tenido problemas nunca cambio una vez al año ,con uso de los fines de semana
I like your videos. I'm about to purchase a 2014 vmax with 7700 miles for 11,000. Do you feel I am getting a decent deal
Thank you. I don't really follow the used market so I can't compare it to other bikes of various years and mileage. However, I will say that because this bike is no longer being made and there are so few of them to begin with, they will tend to sell at a premium. 7700 miles isn't bad for a bike made in 2014. I would want one that was kept in a garage and well maintained. In the end, what really matters is do you value the bike at that price.
If you cant be bothered with a $100 oil change, you have no business owning a $20,000 motorcycle.
This wasnt the reason i expected to hear as a reason to switch oils. Honestly, i dont think it's a great reason. I would definitely follow the lead of the engineers and stick with full synthetic.
You're making mistake. That bike came with synthetic and You're losing hp and gas mileage by going conventional. It's a VMAX use the best Yamaha lube possible.
I had a situation one time were I was using conventional In a high performance motorcycle due to my lack of knowledge about synthetic oils. It didn't hurt the bike ,but the oil would go black in 2 weeks and performance would diminish until I changed it. Started using synthetic and the oil stopped going bad and I felt the increase in performance. Better gas mileage too.
Yamalube makes a full sysnthetic for our bikes!
I use a amsoil metric in my v-star 1300 and would like it in my 2016 v-max. Anyone use this in a max?
Are you also changing the oil filter every 6 months, or are you changing that at every other oil change?
I change the filter every time. The way I look at it is if I need to remove and drain the old oil from the filter, I may as well replace the filter also. I want every bit of old oil out of it. I'm very picky when it comes to oil. I've been changing my own oil since I was a teenager and have always replaced the filter. I would rather have peace of mind than save a few bucks.
@@JeffMarcum I agree and always change the filter when the oil is changed as well. However, I don't change my oil every 6 months as I have a sizeable collection of motorcycles and some of the bikes would only have been ridden a few hundred miles during that time! I also keep all bikes batteries hooked up to a trickle charger when they aren't being ridden.
Spending 18000 USD for a bike, and then the putting some shitty cheap oil into the engine to SAVE (???) money is kinda not very smart decision.
I hear some say 178 horsepower and others say 197, which is it??
197 at the crankshaft, 178 at the rear wheel. A lot of manufacturers boast about HP at the crank, but what really matters is how much is put down on the rear wheel.
@@JeffMarcum Your videos are very helpful, thanks. I just purchased a 2014 yesterday. Any advise would be much appreciated
@@artstoker172 If the previous owner did not keep good maintenance records, I would change the oil, rear axle oil, and air filter. I would also test the battery to determine its heath and replace now if necessary, so it doesn't leave you stranded. Take a good look at the tires also. If they are original, they need replaced regardless of tread depth...they are old and have dry rotted.
@@JeffMarcum Thank you
