Hi,
I was reading the V-Max owners manual and it says you can hear the V-boost when you turn on the key to verify it is workingis that true? Also can anyone tell me how you know for sure the V-boost is working...
Thanks
Doug
the clicking u hear is the fuel pump and the vboost cycling when u turn the
key on, just look into the side right front of the carbs and turn the key on,
u should see the vboost cycle up then down

The best indication of a working vboost can be felt in your shoulders and
the seat of your pants when you nail the throttle and the rpm sweep past

When I got my Vmax, it had that wonderful rush at 6k
as the other guys said--- the v.boost should be audable when you turn on the ignition/kill switch, and you should notice how slipprey the seet becomes at 6000rpm...
UNLESS,,, your max is a UK model registered beetween 91 and 96 thease bikes are ristricted to 100 horse power and dont have

Hi,
Not quite true, having the vboost activated all the time will dramatically
reduce the velocity of the airflow through the carbs at low throttle
openings. I'm not sure how that would contribute to gumming the float bowls,

Some will say better performance, some will say worse performance. As far
as I know, no one has ever tried it on a dyno to see (although it would be
real simple to do). Personally
Less low end power, it serves no purpose, unless you have a Dynojet Stage 7 or similar.
