Love your content Jeff but Gen1 air scoops were rock solid aluminium. Or aluminum as you say over in the US lol.
They cover the cooling water tank on one side and some electric parts on the other side.
They were clearly design feature and they were the first on a motorbike. Since then, many bikes copied them in one way or another, it is not a shame. These scoobs are the central design element of the max. Without them, the vmax would have been just another bike...
Truer wordscwere never said...i thought the plastic commentvwas just sad.
Love your content i just reminds me why i love mine so much , and your helping keep the love for these monsters alive !!!!!
I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Had a gen 1 vmax, air scoops were definately not plastic. Mine also had mesh in the air scoops. They stored some coolant lines, caps, wires and fuse, did move some air, but only as an after thought.
Thanks for the info. I have a 14 and and learned a couple things. Long live the mighty vmax.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing all the great info about the VMax. I didn't know many of the things this bike had including the lean angle sensor. Ride Safe!
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
You have a great bike and a raving review of the V-Max! Enjoy your Max as we enjoy your videos! Stay safe! Love the V-Max!
Thank you, and thanks for watching.
Love your Vmax I have been a fan of the Vmax since the beginning. I heard an early one with the adjustable supertrapp mufflers on it and have been hooked ever since.
I have learnt some new stuff about my bike today, very much appreciated. Great video too :)
Thank you.
Jeff, thank you for posting this. I currently own 10 motorcycles (yes, I’m obsessed), and you have piqued my interest to adding a 2nd gen Max. I’ve always liked these bikes. Seeing your honest reviews of this bike gives a good perspective.
One can never have too many bikes. 😀😁 I plan to have a collection myself...This one is the first of at least three. Thanks for watching.
This is reliable information. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Great comments, thanks man
My 1200 were metal and had mesh on the front. Just an observation. Definitely not life changing🙊
Aluminum, and I Love they way they look !! But I like Ronnie James DIO two.lol
Amazing ! ❤️
Since your from Alabama and interested in getting more bikes it would be great to see you on a Motus mstr.
Very detailing.
👍
The lean angle sensor must be new. It doesn't come on the 2016. I know because I have one. I dropped it (gently) after coming to a complete stop to miss a Deer in my neighborhood. The bike stayed running the whole time. And just a little gem. I scraped up the exhaust tips a bit. And found they won't rotate from top to bottom but they will swap from side to side. Which puts the damaged section to the inside.
The lean angle system has been there since 2009. Check page 6-1 of your manual. It appears yours may be malfunctioning. Thanks for the info on the exhaust tips.
Good point about the tyre pressures. I find my MAX handles like a pig if only a few PSI below recommended, like trying to steer a tank with one finger! So, like you, I keep mine at 42PSI. Will be interesting to see how your tyres wear over the next few thousand miles. From what I have read the front ones wear out before the rear, and quite quickly. Great videos by the way!
Thank for watching and sharing your insight.
The tire pressure numbers on the tires are the MAXIMUM pressure allowed for the tire. This is not necessarily the recommended tire pressure for the bike. The same thing is true for car tires. I go by the numbers on the drive shaft housing.
You're in the wrong. Very wrong. The scoops in Gen 1 were aluminium and only the left was fully blocked, because there were electric parts and relays underneath. The right one, covering the coolant inlet had mesh and there was air flow. However it was not functional, because the air wasn't directed to the airbox.
Thanks for watching and providing detailed clarification.
The tire presser that is on the tire's sidewall, is the tire's max air presser and doesn't pertain to the vehicle it's mounted to. So, the owner's manual tire air pressers would be the correct air pressers for your bike's tires.
The air scoops of the 2005 20th Anniversary are made of metal. The 2106 air scoops, are polished plastic.
Did you mean 2006 or 2016?
What kind of coolant and color should I put in my 2009 Vmax. I'm changing it and flushing the system.
So far, the only one I have used is the Yamaha brand. It is called Yamacool pre-diluted, and it is blue.
The gen 1 scoop is mesh not a solid piece of plastic I own both bikes and love them both equally. Great channel btw
Why is your riding gear so loose on you? Room for undergarments or just not in your size?
Thanks for information and I recently bought a used 2015 VMAX
Perfect fit. What you can't see is all the padding that makes it look bulky.
My 1997 had aluminum scoops
gen 1 scoops are aluminium, and polish well
I got mine at 42 all the way around
Rode my 2019 vmax today Michigan weather I can't wipe the smile off my face always delivers what a great machine wow
Jason Koch I can relate, I’m always in a much better place after riding my VMax. 🏍
Not plastic on mine....and not on any others I've seen... Also it's not clear at any distance that one "works" and another doesn't...as far as delivering air to the box...
Jeff you are top notch and squared away,,,your parents must be very proud of you!! Thanks for all U do! :) While I am at time critical of the Gen 2, there is still no other machine made that can compare. Can you in the future talk about engine guards or PUCKS for the Gen 2? When I bought my 05 new, I ordered it and when it arrived at the dealer I took photos when the crate arrived and as it was taken out and assembled,,it was a major touchstone in my life and has enriched my life so much. I ordered with the windscreen boulevard and engine guards and and YES warranty, I think with all that and taxes and helmet $11,000 OTD. Any ways when the dealer called and told me all was in except the engine guards I told them "no guards no money",,they had them in within a a couple days,,that is how important that one item is to me! :) My best to you and yours Jeff. :)
Thanks again for the support Jay. I am going to get engine guards. You will see me install them in a future video.
@@JeffMarcum No engine guards for me. They are ugly. I'll take my chances. I even had a 1979 Honda CBX without engine guards. I hate the look of them that much. I never layed either one of them down.
No one commented on the tires screeching near the end?
Yeah Jeff that auto off sounds good,,,,,,, until it starts doing that all by itself!//// I'm very skeptical about all of the NEWER cars and BIKES with all of that electric/ computer B/S. Our newest car is an '06.... probably the LAST one we'll get ! Things are getting way too sophisticated.
The tire pressures are just starting points. You should adjust for rider, passenger, cargo, temperature, type of riding ... see Dave Moss Tuning on youtube. He is an expert in bike suspension and has great videos.
I have a 1985 Vmax the air scoops are aluminum it’s 100% original
😉✌️
Does anyone speculate that there may be a GEN 3 V MAX. production was cut in 2012 and in 2013 out came the Gen 2. If not, I will hold on to my 2014 for a good classic vehicle price later. V Max is the best ride. Just barely crack the throttle and hold on.
Ummm... The production for Gen2 started at 2009. I have a 2009 Gen2 :) But I don't think that we'll ever see a Gen3, because the emission standards are getting tighter globally, and the VMAX, especially Gen2, has always been "an expensive, marginal product". I think they stopped the sales in Europe a couple of years ago already, due to not meeting European emission standards.
Unless we get an Electric V-Max. E-Max? :-D
I’m hoping that they do. 2033 would be the model year I would bet on, since it went from 1985 to 2009 for the first generation.
My yamaha raider will shut off if no activity
Nice. I like that feature. Thanks for sharing.
Fake news. The scopes on g1 vmax are aluminum.
The first gen Vmax looks like a toy? I guess you are entitled to your opinion...lol
Great comments, thanks man
Thank you.
