That's my interpretation, but i would read it carefully. The original post was over 4 years ago, and they haven't posted since. You might try contacting them directly.
We don't know if your premature rev-limiter is caused by your particular gauge, or incompatibility of the bike's ECM.

I've been doing some digging on this forum and I'm pretty sure it's because my original speedometer isn't sending a signal to the ECU anymore. From what I understand the signal goes from the speed sensor to the stock meter then to the ECU. The stock meter acts as a translator to the ECU. Without that speed sensor reading the ECU has a sort of failsafe that limits the rpms to 5,000. I could be wrong, but I've been reading about others having a similar issue with the 2014's. That's why I think they just swapped the 2014 ECU to a 2013 on this thread to eliminate that issue without having to reflash the ECU.
If I can't find another work around I plan to do some digging into Arduino boards and programming it to receive the speed sensor signal and translate it into a reading the ECU can understand. Who knows how long that will take me though seeing as I'm not a programmer and I don't have any programmer friends. I'll also have to figure out what signal or language the Honda ECU needs to communicate.
