Sure thing, Joe. Using a flashlight, you can see the boost slide arrangement, if you look on the right hand side of the bike, right between the carburator drain tubes, at the top of the 'H" shaped chrome cover.
Blip the throttle, raising the revs above 3 grand. If you have t-boost, you can see the slide operating.
Of course you do this with the bike parked, on the centrestand, in neutral. Doing it while riding may prove to be a tad difficult, and somewhat dangerous as well.
Cheers, Miles

Or, take off the left scoop and look for a small circular module that tees-in the harness between the bike and a square box banded to the electronics board. There should also be a small switch somewhere for it as well. That's the "cheater" that makes the factory v-boost controller think the motor is spinning twice as fast as actual. Typically the switch lets you choose stock 6000, 3000, or off.

I have one and leave it at stock 6000 98% of the time. The butt dyno says it makes the low-mid feel a bit more responsive and torquey, but real dynos say just the opposite, that it makes the motor run too rich.

Lol I feel the exact same way, this forum is damn near as important as having the owners manual for the bike. :clapping:

You can also whip off the seat,if you got Tboost you should have an extra wire spliced into the orange from #3 coil.......
