Aside from all the other issues with my Vmax.... here is a copy/pasted correspondence with some peeps form FB post in regards to Vboost,,,, but has to do with my clutch probably..
----------------------------
Vlad Olson read my mind, got an issue, one of several with my 85. let me ask you gurus this...if the Vboost isn't working, and I know it isn't, what happens when you aggressively roll into/thru the 6K rpm mark?

Edit
Rod Reagan nothing if it is not working as the butterflys in the tubes are not opening
Vlad Olson Right, well when I hit 6K, the rate of acceleration goes way down and the rpm needle revs up in towards 8.5-9K. it's like the engine should still be accelerating like it did 2-5K but it doesn't, the bike doesn't continue that rate of acceleration, so that's why I ask, would it be normal Vboost operation if Vboost was working or is there something else wrong with my bike..?
Stanley Chopper Coar Vlad Olson if the rate of acceleration drops but the rpm climbs faster, usually it's the clutch slipping.
