Apropos of nothing really: I hit the rev limiter today on the Version R, blimey! It felt like a massive loss of power, not too subtle eh?! I'd reached 60mph in 2nd gear on a motorway slip road and suddenly found myself almost going backwards!

Done the same myself, I don't know for sure but I think it is linked to the 180kph speed limiter which drops out two of the cylinders. I assume that if you have speed limiter disabled that it would also be disabled on the rev counter too

ohh to be able to rev that far lol, if mines ever running right ill give it a bash :D btw what sprockets u running outta interest alex

Superfourben - I've a kph-mph converter gear between the speedo and the cable, so the speed limiter isn't disabled as far as I know.

Meno - I'll check the sprockets when it stops monsooning down! I had them replaced earlier this year, and my mechanic asked for the model number of the bike (F3S) so I assume he must have ordered the standard set, but I'll double check.

If the speed limiter is disabled then there will probably be a resistor or small box across the black/brown and orange/blue wires either behind the casing of the clock assembly or somwhere on that loom???? I was going to do it to the bike before the trackday last year but didn't get round to it..... turned out I didn't top the 180kph mark anyway :)

ye ive had a kmh to mph converter on order (backorder) for a while now to do exactly the same alex. atm ive stuck some white blobs on speedo to make a quick read not invlolve maths lol. but ye fer sure itll never hit that switch inside speedo with that on there :D

When I bought the bike, the brake light didn't work (bear with me). I tracked the fault to a faulty rear brake switch, which I replaced. Still the light didn't work, and eventually I traced another fault to a mysterious red box plugged into the loom between the clocks and the rest of the bike. With the box removed, the light worked fine, so I binned it. Turns out the red box was a de-restrictor module, but as I already had the connverter gear fitted I guess I didn't need it anyway!
