Ohh, thanks for the information... That would explained why its kick in a range of RPM. I tried to get the RPM when it kick in but it seems fluctuated...

In general, a hard limiter cuts either the spark or more commonly the fuel.
If it cuts the spark only, the unburnt fuel (HC) enters catalytic convertor, slowly plugging it on a long run. HC is the prime killer of catalyst, like i.e. frequent misfire...
Cutting fuel is a better option for engine, catalyst and environment.
The limiter kicks in based on the speed that the motorcycle is traveling, not how many RPM's the engine is turning.
