2019 Yamaha VMAX Gains HUGE Horsepower After MOORE MAFIA ECU FLASH

[@Tinfoilhat311]

I have an 09 highly modified. Makes unreal power. Rarely do I get challenged. Very fun, but a dangerous bike in the wrong hands. Hence, the massive de-tuning of later models. Mine was 197hp out of the box and ran 10.30's. It's significantly better than that after major work. Great work there. Love the videos!!

[@Dara-ih6jq]

180hp and 120 torque is freaking beautiful numbers. Bet that bike is a blast to ride out to the coast or weekend cruising with some wide open pulls on the highway.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

It’s a blast, I’ll never let mine go, I have the 1st year of this 2nd generation vmax. These had to be pre ordered and you received in advance while waiting 2 special emblems that mount on each side of the frame showing what # you have. Mine is 2009 vmax# 0262 These bikes are flat out awesome and it’s the only bike I’ve owned that spins the rear on command right off the throttle. My R1 lifts the front wheel while the vmax just lights up the rear tire.

Do you guys ECU flash Yamaha warrior xv1700?

[@jrevan]

Yamaha should make a 400cc naked bike with the same V4 engine design and under 400Lbs. and see what happens.

[@joakimquensel597]

I never tested the new V-Max but as a 20 year old kid back in 1988 I bought a 1986 V-max. And boy it was a thrill! Never got tired of it and I kept it for nine years, then it got stolen unfortunately. Now I'm into Harleys but I'm really tempted getting a new V-Max, seems like an awesome bike!

In Harley’s eye ? I mean it’s pretty much apples to oranges. Kinda like comparing a Honda Civic to a corvette. lol the Harley being the Honda Civic. They aren’t built for power or even for performance at all if we’re being honest. Don’t forget this bike has 4 cylinders and every Harley ever made either had 1 cylinder or 2. lol

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@My.name.goes.here. It's a cruiser. You might call it a standard perhaps, less so a low slung foot-forward machine. Only thing in the big twin cruiser class that even attempted to throw down and just build stupid performance is a custom with a monster S&S engine. All the Screamin' Chicken parts can't get HD close. But of course HD isn't after the big performance, never has been. Mostly after cosplay and cult branding.

@@exothermal.sprocket maybe you missed the mid eighties. Kawasaki eliminater, honda magna, Yamaha vmax and the Suzuki madura were in a new class of motorcycle called a muscle bike. All of the major manufacturers already had cruisers. The difference was muscle bikes were marketed as production drag bikes. Even the first article in cycle world stated that the new Yamaha vmax was a muscle bike. A virago is a cruiser and a vmax is a muscle bike just as a Cadillac is a luxury car vs a 462 hemi is a muscle car.

I'm from Canada, sent out my ECU to Moore Mafia to get reflashed after I did a few mods to the exhaust and airbox, they received it, flashed it and sent it out the same day. I notice a significant difference in the horsepower and torque. Great sound too!!!!! I highly recommend that you send your Vmax ECU to Moore Mafia, you won't be disappointed!!!!! Thanks Chris!!!!!!!!👍

[@glickmpb]

@robroussel2530 Hey man, I had a couple questions. I have a 2018 VMax I bought new and have no mods to date. The only things I did to the bike were LED's, horn, Ventrue F1 dash cam system, hardwire radar detector to my Valentine 1, but nothing to the engine. Did you notice anything different in the bike or dash after the upgrade, other than performance? Did you do anything with pipes? I really like the look of the VMaxs pipes and would never change them. I know you will gain performance with a full exhaust, but the bike has more than enough power as it is. Was there anything else you needed to do when you received the ECU back, or was it simply plug and play? THanks so much!!

[@robroussel2530]

@@glickmpb I added a KN air filter, removed the cat and added a Voodoo pipe system, it didn't run right because fuel to air ratio, once I got it flashed, it was absolutely night and day, trust me, Chris Moore does what he says he's gonna do. I am 100% satisfied with what he did to my ECU. Once you get the ECU back, you plug it in and turn the key, start it, let it idle, shut it off and turn it on again. Very easy, they send you instructions on what to do. It's a walk in the park.

Wow. Um, why would Yamaha do this to their bikes? don't these kind of bikes sell by big figures? Surely the more power vs the competition is better. Why so heavily restricted? I can kind of understand in the first few gears, but why limit the power in high speed gears? If they want to limit top speed for road regulations, them limit the top speed with a governor. Why the actual power output? seems counter-productive to the point of a muscle bike.

@@Jason-sz5zv you’d be surprised. I rode from Texas to Missouri last year. Plenty of stretches without gas stations that were very sketchy. Same with going from Texas to Colorado. Three weeks ago I rode from Texas to Georgia then Georgia to Florida then back to Texas. Again lots of long stretches without gas stations depending on which route you take. 90 miles to a tank sucks. I had a vtx 1800 that would roughly get 100 ish miles to a tank. It’s nerve racking going on a lengthy trip with such a short span. Plus gets super expensive with today’s gas prices. The Florida trip I did on my current m109r. $200 one way on gas. Would be even worse on a vmax.

[@FlyingFun.]

90 miles is extremely annoying on trips here in the UK on motorways, I had xv535 which got about that and I rode 240 miles mostly motorway in one day, most petrol stations were 40 or 50 miles apart so missing one meant the next one was right on the limit and one time I had to ride behind a lorry in his slipstream to make it, so I was filling up every 40 miles or so, often the stations were a fair bit of a detour to get to ... On smaller roads it was not so bad but still always had range anxiety.

[@raptor102993]

That's for the exhaust. He has fans in the front also.

What's crazy is it's shaft drive turning a 240. Probably closer to 200 with a chain and regular 17 rear wheel.

My 2017 V Max has an OEM 200 rear tire.
