Mike Bee the limiter is for speed, not stress. You could ride it around all day at redline in 1st, 2 nd or 3rd. Is the bike running any richer at redline in 3 rd than in 5 th ?
Have you read somewhere that Honda installed it in our bikes to help meet epa regs or lessen stress because I have not. I'd believe that about the oil cooler, but that doesn't seem logical about the limiter. Logically the Legacy equipment theory for the limiter makes more sense to me.
Could Honda have reprogrammed it for no limiter? Sure. My guess is they market researched it, discussed it, and felt it wasn't necessary to do so.
