NC30 / NC35 Derestriction and 5000RPM misfire
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:39 pm
Maybe one for a mod to make sticky as these questions keep poping up?
The 'home market' NC30 and NC35 are restricted to 180Km/h (~112mph) due to laws in force in Japan at the time. UK spec NC30 models are not restricted.
The restriction is in the CDI and is triggered by a rotating disc in the back of the speedo that triggers when the needle reaches 180Km/h, disconnecting this results in the bike only running on two cylinders (misfiring) over 5000RPM.
There are eight ways to derestrict.
1) M-Max, HRC or similar de-restrictor. Small box, plugs inline between the speedo sensor and the wiring loom on NC35, in inline between CDI and wiring loom on NC30.
2) Bent tab in the speedo. Essentially you open up the speedo and prevent the disc from triggering the restriction.
3) Remove restriction from speedo. Remove the circuit board from the speedo but leave it connected (wrapped up in something waterproof!)
4) Use a kmh=>mph converter. You'll never reach 180mph so the restriction doesn't cut in.
5) Disconnect the speedo. Only a temporary measure but ideal for a trackday for example.
6) Add a resistor. Add a resistor (2k2) between two wires either at the speedo or CDI end. (I'll edit this later to provide details of which wires).
7) Short two wires. Connect a wire between the same wires as for adding the resistor. While this works it is suggested you add the resistor.
8) Aftermarket ECU. HRC, Ignitech doesn't matter they lose the restriction.
