Noobie here,

Is there some kind of rule of thumb, how to recognize Vmax gen1 with V-boost from the lower powered models?

From the sale advertisements:
-More than 100kW = V-boost?
-If i see "spring system" from the side between carburetors = V-boost?

With actual bike on hand:
-When I turn the bike on, V-boost turns butterfly valves on and off to test that those are working?
 
Look for this on the RHS of the engine.

When you turn on the ignition you should hear the 'clickety clickety' of the fuel pump priming and the whurr of the V Boost doing its test cycle.
You will see the mechanism moving.

If you have the VIN # that will tell you which market it was intended for which will give some insight if it have V Boosts as original equipment.
