1998 Yamaha V Max review from United Kingdom
"Brilliant. I will never part with it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Needed a new clutch because I used fully synthetic oil when I changed the oil.
General comments?
Does not handle as bad as some of the press state. You get used to its character.
