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

key on, just look into the side right front of the carbs and turn the key on,

Larry,
The procedure for checking the valves is outlined in the service
manual. You can determine TDC by using the flywheel marks, (there are
two .. 70 degrees apart of course), or since you have the valve
cover(s) off anyhow it is quite easy to see when each set of valves is
sitting on the
One way to tell if the boost is working is roll out, shift in to second,
position the throttle about half way to the stop and hold it there.
Watch the tach as it sweeps past 6000, you should feel a big surge as if
you opened the throttle al the way. But dont move the throttle. If you
dont feel
I know mine works it kicks in when my budies on their Harleys really start

noticable from 6000 on you get a serious rush of speed.

IMHO .. any of the glass mat batteries ... the Odyssey, Baker etc ..
will perform much better than a liquid lead acid battery, (like the

Just for the record, the stock V-max tire is 6 inches (150mm) not 7 inches (175mm) Some 170 series tires will fit in the stock swingarm with no modifications, some require the spacer swap. A 8 inch tire is 200mm and will not fit regardless. Damn metric system. Later, Paul 85 V-max, VMOA 1141.
