For those of you wanting to defeat the speed limiter...
#28
$375.00 actually, includes 2 day return shipping.
IMO, best mod you can do, even if you don't care about the speed limiter.
We had the ignition and fuel maps changed and the limit raised 500 rpm. Makes a big difference and didn't affect economy, I still got 50 mpg at the rally.
There are apps for your phone, the one I use is called Speed View, it's free and will show your speed as you travel if you want it to. Way cheaper and easier, totally eliminates any conjecture or disconnecting stuff. Just leave your speedo as is. When you want to do a top speed run you set the app to record the run, put the phone in a handlebar mount or in your pocket or tank bag and check it afterward. I've done a run after the reflash and it showed 132 mph. The bike was totally stable with no issues at all. My run was about 5 miles and the highest speed was achieved in 4th gear. It slowed down when shifted into 5th, indicating being limited by aerodynamic drag. I was tucked in as tight as I could be, not running any kind of shield.
I'm going to do another run sometime in the near future to see if it's any faster with the Yoshimura full system I put on. It feels like it's been uncorked now, very strong. And does it sound great Wink Going to see if the numbers bear it out.
