    V-Boost question

    :ummm: Hey guys, got a question for ya. How do I know if the V-Boost on my bike is actually working? Is there a way to test it somehow? Being this is my 1st Vmax, I'm still learning all the little secrets about it. Thanks.

    Installing V-Boost where there wasn't one...

    (I'd swear I've asked this question before, but I can't find where, so feel free to redirect me) I bought a '94 a couple of years ago and soon discovered that it did not have V-Boost installed at all. It runs great (mostly) so I haven't thought much about it until now. I'm planning to do some...

    DEEP THOUGHT - Anyone ever eliminated their V-Boost?

    Hi yall, I tend to think very deeply into things - and I used to drink a lot, too - so this might be odd or just pointless ramble to some of yall. That said, I get the idea of how the V-Boost setup works. In essence feeding one cylinder with two carbs. In theory it's an awesome setup, not...

    Sasy vboost switch

    http://enhancetech.com.au/sasy.htm Apparently from Australia. Have you guys heard of this before or has anyone tried it? I am getting a bonus from work so I am considering getting this as a reward for myself. :eusa_dance:

    Did I lose performance from removal vboost butterfly?

    I haven't taken things apart to see what I have but guy I got my 90 model from said they did 1280 kit, stage 7 and removed vboost butterfly. I hear vboost cycle when ignition turned on but no "boost" feel. Does this hurt my performance? Should I fix it? The cyl has a scratches mark in it, he...

    v-boost not working

    Hello all, I'm an excited new owner of a 1988 V-max and I absolutely love it! I've fixed a few problems already but I really want to fix the v-boost. I've tested the control module and I get power but I don't get power out of the control module going to the servo motor. I ran power directly to...

    V-boost disconnect?

    My V-boost doesn't fully open and I've adjusted the cable as tight as it will go. While I've got my carbs off I've just been cleaning and checking the bike before re-installment. When the V-boost activates it doesn't pull the black box with the adjustment on it all the way to the end of it's...

    Vboost quit again!

    Damn its always something. Was riding yesterday and after stopping for a snuff break I turned my key on and no "whir whir" sound from my vboost servo. Just a few weeks ago I replaced the servo and control box with some used ones because the servo motor had some stripped gears, it worked great...

    My How TO: Wire up a VBoost On (stock functioning) and Fully open all the time switch

    So I like the vboost stock when cruising and conserving fuel. I enjoy my t-boost switch to activate it at 3000rpm instead of stock ~6000rpm sometimes also, But I REALLY like the always open option- unplugging the connector when the servo motor is at the right position so vboost is deactivated...

    COP's, Resistors & VBoost opening RPM

    There seems to be some pretty good evidence that running COP's without resistors on the earlier model VMax's can result in a change in the boost opening rpm from 6K ± to around 7500. I and a couple others have noticed this....anyone else?

    Vboost problem

    Not hearing the vboost servo doing a self check when I turn the key. But it sure as **** works when its supposed to. Tried it several times today.

    How does the Vboost servo work?

    Anyone familiar with how the vboost servo works? Does it wait till a certain voltage to activate; if so what voltage is it? I have a voltmeter and will be digging into it but I am not the strongest on electoral matters and it never hurts to ask for help. I've decided to rig up some 'flapper...

    Vboost cables

    New to me Vm=Max miss before vboost

    Hi everyone, I just picked up a 97 vmax last weekend. Never had one before. Today we got a break in the weather so I decided to go for a short ride in the cold. This thing rips:punk: But i noticed there seems to be a miss right before vboost kicks in. Not all the time it seems and only if you...

    I'm a noob with Vboost! Need Help!!

    I just got my first Vmax on 11/18/13. I barely got to test ride it as it sat for bout a year, would run with the choke but wouldn't idle without. I am fixing the carbs tomorrow as I am waiting on new float needles. This is not my first bike but definitely the most "powerful". What exactly is...

    Vboost coil pulse

    Hey, Does anyone know what signal the OEM coil puts out for the vboost controller? It's on the grey wire. I've checked it out on the diagrams but don't know what the actual signal is. I'm assuming its a square +12v pulse but not sure. Also interested if it's 1ppr or different? Cheers
