  • The UFO starfighter seat paired with the forward controls make for a comfortable ride. The aftermarket Delkevic pipes are loud and deep (listen to the video on a good sound system if you can. When I pump this video through my home stereo, it sounds like the bike is in the room with me). The 1200cc, DOHC, liquid cooled, V-4 powerplant is bone stock, bulletproof, and fast as hell. Thanks for watching!
    Thanks for all the kind words. I never imagined there would be this kind of response when I posted this. For all the people who are interested in the aftermarket parts that I've installed. Slip on pipes are: Delkevic Mini 8" Carbon Fiber Round Muffler to fit VMX1200 V-MAX. I previously posted a link to the forward controls, but it expired because it is a listing on ebay. Here is a current link, www.ebay.com/i... not sure how long it will last. If link is dead, easiest way to find em is to search google for: FC9 14" Forward Controls for 1985-2007 Yamaha V-Max 1200 Star VMax. The seller's name is "refinedcyclelc". Bought the scoops, and had the seat done at Planetvmax UFO Performance. Unfortunately, the owner of UFO Performance Jon Cornell, passed away in 2013, and the store closed shortly thereafter. Thanks again for the interest and keep an eye on those ditches!

      Update: I now have a dark red metallic 1985 Vmax 1200 with 11,000 original miles and in extremely good condition it looks brand new.. i’m doing all the work on it myself and I changed the spark plugs the fuel filter the oil the final drive fluid the coolant,the brake n clutch fluid. I installed a new front tire and a new rear tire. I went with a 170 instead of the original 150. I love this bike!!!

    I love VMAX. My friend stole one when we were teenagers. We were going out look for cops to chase us at night. We kept that 1986 VMAX for over 1 year. Cops just couldnt catch us. In 1988 I was 17 and I was riding that VMAX like it was stolen. Cool part was he showed me the first time how the front wheel can be kept on ground , thar front wheel stays down when you know how to handle the rpms. It did not come to life till 8000 or 9000 rpm it was mental sound when you open her up. .what a rush. I'm lucky to still be alive after those wicked chases. .oh to be young and foolish again

      No it really doesn't at all. I have had a VMax for about 12 years and the last 4 years with forward controls. Much more comfortable. I also have A Ducati XDiavel and love those forward controls so changeup the VMax. if your knees are beat up playing sports you really appreciate the stretch and comfort and since these aren't sport bikes no real performance issues...

    • @michiganmontster
      @michiganmontster  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      These bikes arent known for their cornering abilities. The Vmax is all about straight line acceleration. With the pegs in the stock position it's gonna have more of that sportbike/cruiser feel. With the forward controls, and starfighter seat, it moves the needle more toward cruiser. I love the look of the 109, I came real close to buying one before I got my max.

      A very good friend of mine had a 92(?) Vmax and put on some aftermarket TBR pipes. He didn't jet it and it ran ok. However, after me pressuring him to rejet to get rid of some deceleration popping he was shocked. Jetting after pipes WILL give you more power. You don't have to do it, but it is the right thing to do and a tasty way to do it.
