Thanks Maim, for fixing the title. Thanks to everyone for the answers. new to machines and even newer to Yamaha. so far love my 700 SXr and hate my Vmax 500. power is good on both, but the Vmax shakes and darts, no matter what i've done, and the SXr is bolted to the ground, no matter what I do
Love the reliability though, have had fewer non operator induced problems than guys with new ACE's this winter.
