Just not feeling it...

[bbadwheels]

I am not feeling my V-Boost at all... Where do I start looking?

Thanks

does it cycle?

I'd start by looking at the V-Boost.

Shine a light into that area while hitting the key. You should be able to see the actuator cycling through it's start-up proceedure. If not...........

Did it cycle properly before this?

More info please...

sucks, i been there.

look at controller box first, mine was the servo motor.

 

[bbadwheels]

It looks like its cycling just fine. Might be a little slack in the cable though

The cable is supposed to have some slack. At least, mine does - from the factory. If it's cycling fine upon first turning on your key, I'd say your servo & controller are AOK. If memory serves me, it seems there's a vacuum component to the equation as well. Guys....help me out here...........but, seems there is a small black box up under the faux tank area, hidden behind the electronics behind the left scoop. It will have a vacuum line running down to the left, front carb. That line should be inspected and in good condition. I believe that vacuum switch controls when V-boost kicks in. (I could be wrong on this)

If you remove the carb covers and use a flashlight, you should be able to see the boost starting to open around 6000rpm with the bike on the stand in neutral. Best way to make sure it's operating as it should - just don't rev for too long.
