    Vboost Question

    Vboost Question

    This may be a non issue but I'm wandering what the control action is with Vboost when it is initiated at 6000 RPM.................does the controller open the throttle plate to fully open immediately or are they opened percentage wise depending on the motor RPM..................I determined that...

    What Do You Think, Will It Work?

    I will shorten it up a little to get to straight sections of tubing and getting the frames on the same plane................I plan on using solid pins inside the ATV tubes welded to metal plates to bolts to the VMax frame..............I plan on changing the angle of the ATV steering shaft to...
