Bump in thread. The sun came out today and I took Mr Max out for a run solo. I hit god knows what RPM's in third gear with the gas full open (hard to look down at that puny RPM counter when your hanging on for dear life) but I can confirm that the V Boost is working properly. Either that or I went into warp drive via a Semi truck rear ending me. Holy mother of God this thing hauls ass :clapping:. It's addictive ffs. I tried it several times and the grin factor is off the scale. No wonder they provide an ass stop on the saddle. I'm loving this new ownership and my insurance considers this to be a cruiser ? WTF are they smoking ?

That's about when guys suggested a Shift Light to me.
Enjoy'

Yup Figured maybe you just needed a good twist of the wrist Shift light is a good idea too. I wanted a battery meter, and had my eye on a couple of shift lights as this bike doesn't have a rev limiter. Just got this in the mail yesterday which does both and looks awesome about it.

i love reading about guys' vboost grins. i never tire of the rush. my harley buddies cant appreciate the thrill and they seem to have a confused look everytime I dismount and pull off my helmet to reveal my stupid ass grin stretched from ear to ear. nor will they ever unless they ride bitch or get their own. hahahaha. my insurance also considers my max as a cruiser. i dont complain because i get "cruiser" rates.

welcome to the brotherhood!

We've all been there, the first time we felt the VBoost Kick in is something most of us will never forget.
I remember the Front tire coming off the Ground from 1st through 4 th on my first really hard run and it was Insane !!!
I learned real fast that I need to lean forward when really stomping on my Max !
I still get that Ear to Ear VBoost Grin every time I really get on throttle, which is just about every time I ride ! unk:

I can't believe how much road is eaten up so quickly. I know more or less from the engine/exhaust note, the "Red Light" affair and when my balls creep up into my throat. Requires 150% of my focus and the other 50% is hoping there's no cop around. Racing in ONT Canada will get your vehicle taken away and $500 fine

Which is why you need to Visit the States for Thunder in the Valley or our Spring IceBreaker rides.
Here you may get a ticket but they won't confiscate your vehicle.
I actually did a 0-140 run last spring on a long straight country road that I thought was deserted.
But when I hit 3rd-4th shift between 90-100 MPH and glanced to my left there was a Police Cruiser on the only side road around.
I didn't even bother to slow down I just finished my run and then pulled over to wait for him.
When he finally pulled over I told him my throttle stuck and I had no choice but to keep on the throttle until I could safely slow the bike down.
I'm sure he knew it was BS but he let me go with a verbal warning.
We actually ended up talking about my VMax and his R1 for a while.
He told me to be careful of that "sticky" throttle on my ride home and off I went.

VMax's are notorious for their sticky throttles. I think it ranks up there with the "wobble" as one of the issues that is never fully solved. As it stands right now, my sticky throttle may be as difficult to resolve as my evasive oil weep.

Sticky throttle=
Lots of fun

Or

Lots of $$$
Hard to explain to a cop if youve got a plate that says Hooligan!!

:rofl_200:
That's True, luckily I have a Standard issue plate.
I did have to laugh because the first thng he said to me was:
What the hell kinda bike is that ?
Your front tire was off the ground and you were easily doing 90 MPH.

Doesn't take long on the VMF to make someone smile. Look how lucky we are. Grinning the The Joker on mushroom tea while we ride arguably the worlds coolest Metric Cruiser and relaxing in the VMF and still grinning. Yea, the seat is designed like that for a good reason..
