Speedo restrictor issue.

Post by BerryBlade »

Hi just a quick question.

If you take the clocks off your CBR 400 without doing the resistor mod would this cause the bike to run funny and possibly fire on 2 cylinders at a certain rpm or something like that?

This would mean the 2 restrictor wires would not be connected to the clock.

Would a derestricted ECU prevent this from happening.

Has anyone had much experience with this?

Thanks.

Hi, at least I have a lead.

Obviously the sensor is not connected to the clocks but no resistor has been put in the CDI to trick it so it will think it is doing a speed which it most certainly isnt.

This makes sense, however I will report back once I have installed a resistor/derestricted cdi.

Thanks. :grin:

LP nice diagram but WTF would you put a resistor at both ends of the same wire?

I think it's one or the other, not both. :peace:

eg if you want to remove the clocks completely, you can fit the mod at the CDI end,
if you just want to keep the standard stuff, fit under clocks end. ;)
