    Where to get a starter or is it a COPS thing?

    Hi, I have a 85 Max with the 2 brush starter--is the best place to search for a 4 brush on ebay? If so, what keywords would I put in since I know they came on the Venture motorcycle as well? Or does someone have a 4 brush they would part with? I have also heard the COPS conversion helps with...

    Strange VBoost Thing

    When I got my 1986 it had an old (and I mean Old) UNI air filter on it. The VBoost works but the self test when you turn the key on did not. Only now it does. I just installed a new standard Yamaha paper filter from Cheap Cycle Parts. The VBoost Self Test started working at once. Explain that.

    What the heck is this thing?

    The thing that looks like a miniature cheese cake? :confused2: At the end of the coiled gray wire there's a tiny box that looks like it may have been a switch box. Is this a T-boost set-up?
