Looking at early 1990's VMax 600( 1994 in particular) as a cheap second sled. Not being too familiar with these, can you tell me if these were a reliable sled, or a maintenance nightmare.
Anything I should look out for......or maybe is there another Yamaha in the same year/price range that would be a better bet

We have three.
Very solid motors
Parts are very easy to find for this sled
Primary clutch needs lots of attention( A Comet solves this problem!)
Rear skid needs to be taken apart and relubed at least once every two years

Cougar, I'm not sure if a 50 would work or not. All three of our V-maxs have had clutch issues. If you have been replaceing a lot of roller bushings and wearing out weights I would suggest going through the clutch immediately. I just busted an arm off the spyder cuz I waited to long. I think if I had replaced the sliding sheave and cap bushings I would have been O.K.. It was the cap bushing that gave out on mine. I just got a good deal on a Comet 108 EXP so I'll let you know how it works out.
