Im glad you have felt it. Even though i hear the servos working i cant tell a difference after 6500 rpms versus 3500 rpms. While its ridable i might as well be riding a 1100 intruder power wise
I now know what v-boost feels like

They should be at the front just under the rad, attached to frame. One each side, usually chrome.

Whats V-Boost? What year did they put it on?:ummm:
1985
Vboost is a butterfly valve that when opens allows each cylinder to draw air, fuel from two carbs on intake stroke.

All years depending on your vin number . And thats on the frame just under and below your main headlight . Put it on the centrestand and turn the handlebars to one side and have a look . Another way is the sound it makes when you turn the key . You will hear a clicking noise (the fuel pump) and then a 2 tone whizzing noise (vboost)
unk:And in any gear when you hit just over 6000 rpm - just see what happens .

Not to mention the sound of the exhaust goes from a dogs growl to something more like a cougars growl....

I'm quickly becoming another Boost-a-holic! I've had my Max for a little more than a month now, It's been 11 years since I sold my last bike and just as long since I rode. So needless to say, I had been taking it easy while getting back in touch. Well, the learning curve is over and what a rush!
Now I see the absolute need for a shift light! Taking your eyes off the road for a quick check of the tach could be harmful to my health... NOT taking my eyes off the road for a quick check of the tach could be harmful to my bike!!
