movin up to a 1000

The Vmax is one of the best sounding bikes made! V4s rule. V-twins are more like big blocks Tons of torqe. The in line fours are more quick reving like a small block.

I wouldnt complain about having a Vmax, but they just arent the do everything bike I want.

oh well, when I get the 1000 I'll be a very very happy person just to have a toy.

Just thought everyone might like an update. I've got both bikes home, along with 8 boxes of parts, 8 large boxes no less. I learned I've got a complete lockset to one bike, no keys for the other(yet) a corbin saddle for one of them, and an undetermined number of extra parts so far. oh yeah, and a MONSTROSITY of a 630 chain on each bike. holyfuckingshit thats a BEEFY CHAIN.

630!!!!
Damn, didn't know any bike wore that chain? Thought 530 was heavy for bikes.

530 is for modern big bikes. Old school Ninja muscle wears 630 to say dont fuck with me.

I'm in the process of rebuilding a motor right now, and its painfully obvious that 2 of 3 cranks at least are no good as whoever last rode this thing NEVER changed the oil which is clearly evidenced by the smell of burnt oil I got when I took the conrods off the crank, well the 3 that remained. 1 was well on its way to severe failure, the other two show major signs of bearing wear. thankfully I have a set of fresh rods with brand spanking new bearings on them which are going to be used. I dont want to screw up my passion and rebuild my bike 20 times.

You're an animal buddy.

I guess I'll take that as a compliment. I'm in the process now of assembling the motor so I've got one that runs at least.

630 chain is heavy. But also super-strong and long-lived. As long as you keep it lubed. My 79 Suzuki GS1000 has the stock 630 O-ring chain.
