SOLD!
Got a firm sale to a local guy set to happen tomorrow. I get one last 20 mile ride to deliver it to him. But, if it falls through, I'll put you in...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Sorry for the photos. I don't have a nice phone for pics. The 650 cover and swingarm cap pics don't do those...
Go ahead Dave, buy the thing. Just admit it. You know you want that classic potato/potato music in your ears....
Since I didn't get a lot of interest on here before I acquired and added more photos, I also listed it locally on CL at...

If you'd look at both me and the bike, you'd agree it's my name. I'm old, scarred, and crusty, but there's no rust on this bike.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] SOLD! My Midnight 650 is for sale. 16,500 miles. Smooth idling and running. I've owned it for...
photos?
Nevermind, I found it.
Site looks good. Thanks for the hard work. However, where's the user cp now? How do you change your preferences?
When I drove 1100 miles to Tulsa to buy my Midnight in 2003, the engine number was listed as the vin on the title. Didn't pay attention to that...
Dang! I must be doin something wrong. The best I get on the interstate at 75 mph is 39-40 with my Midnight 650, and my bike is stock and runs...
Seller states Memphis TN just under his price.
Contact Chacal. He has the new buttons.

If he would have only mentioned the existing 18 year warranty still in effect until October. Probably woulda been out the door by now.
Hey y'all. So I swapped to euro bars on my Midnight 650 and I need advice on mirror/brackets. Wondering what you guys (who swapped your...
Firmer shifter lever? Are you actually referring to the noticeable clunk when you shift into first with the engine running? That's normal....
These bikes will wheelie quite easily in first gear, especially with a passenger (ask my wife). Be careful. And you may find the Corbin seat a...
Three sources of normal rattles in the cockpit: Faux tank locking/latching mechanism, the shroud (screen) for the radiator, the instrument panel...
I have owned my 1998 for 14 years and know the VMax very well. Do all my own wrenching on it and have ridden it all over the eastern U.S. And I've...
On another forum. Bike is in or near Atlanta. I've ridden with the owner before, but he did not ride this bike. Note, he says there is no title....
Bike looks cool, but I agree. ergonomics look to have been thrown out the window. I suppose that is a fake oil tank hiding the battery?
Installed euro-bars. Took a short 20 mile ride and really liked the new seating position. Bike seems a lot sportier and takes a bit of the...
Man, those lines are really cool! Love that tank too. Some might call it a junk yard dog, but it's got a lot of swag! Kudos to ya.
Re: SOLVED!!!(?) Somewhat massive vibration under accelerati How about this one (NOS) for some peace of mind?...
Hey guys. A couple of weeks ago, while removing some antiquated painted-on pinstripes on my Midnight Maxim using scratch remover and a lot...
I can't get the velocity channel (or the speed channel) where I live. I could only wish. When I was Road Captain for our local CMA chapter, I...
I'm on the wrong coast, or else I'd be on it. Something else to tinker with. I've got the mechanic's curse.
Yup. I have mine written down in two different maintenance books. At 55, I could probably forget where I put one, but hopefully, I wouldn't lose...
Fine looking rides y'all have there. Someone is good with the camera too!
Would never chrome a tank. Glare and sun reflection would probably be too much to stand. Saw a VMax with a chromed tank. Looked good, but wasn't...
Since you already have it, I'd swap the engine and run that one a while to make sure it is a good one. Then, if I were you (and since I like to...
Maybe this is a dumb question, but would not the Canadian model have the kph listed more prominently than the mph on the speedo (i.e. reversed...
Great looking project. Looks to be coming along fine. How do you like that (Sportster?) solo seat? Comfy? I like the tool bag on the rear....
THE gs850l engine is considered overbuilt and, as they say, bulletproof. Have heard that for years. I have a friend's GS850L in my garage. He...
Best advice I've read in a while. Family blood is thicker than water, and quite a bit stickier. Family transactions, however honestly done,...
I run Bridgestone Spitfires on my Midnight 650 and on my SR500. I don't ride very aggressively and I live in the coastal region, so not too many...
It would be nice for folks trying to sell things to show their location in their profile, maybe not exact address, but at least approximate...
I've seen about a zillion posts about riding gear and the importance of ALWAYS wearing it often over the past few years. I agree wholeheartedly!...
Vboost starts to come in around 4500 and is full on by 6000 rpm. You can alter those points for Vboost to activate by installing a "Sassy" unit....
I agree with Rick. Show me some receipts. $6ooo is an awful lot for someone to invest in one of these. Bought my '88 in excellent condition...
Finished valve shim service after having received and installed two shims from hogfiddles' shim pool. Thanks for the prompt shipment! Cleaned...
Agree with that. That also proves that I am just old. I get over 10k miles outa my VMax's rear tire. I also put a Venture rear diff in mine. Less...
Actually, I think the forks and brakes were upgraded in 1993, not 1992. I also can't tell from the photo if it has the spin-on oil filter which...
Quote-Speed and tach are off but come with it. These bikes only have a speedo/odo above the handlebars. The tach is on the bike. It is in...
That's a first run Corbin seat. They are way better than the original Yamaha seat. And the flap does cover the fuel cap. I have the more updated...
