ORIGINAL: john87

HEY GUYZ I JUST RAN MY BIKE THIS WEEKEND AND IT TOPPED OUT AT 155 MPHOH I HAVE AN 2001 F4I. MY BUDDY HAS A 1000RR HE CUT HIS REV LIMITER SO NOW HES DOING A GOOD 225MPH STOCK. HE SAID IF I CUT MINE MY BIKE WILL TOP OUT AT 185. THE QUESTION IM ASKING DOES ANYONE NO WHERE THE REV LIMITER IS AT ON MY BIKE. THANX
Ohhhhhh man (cracks knuckles). Why didn't anybody PM me about this thread?

For starters, go back to normal font...bold italic capitals makes you look like an attention *****. Get noticed through what you say, not the font you say it in.

Secondly, there's no magic cable you can cut to increase your top speed by 40 MPH. And if there was, it wouldn't be called a "rev limiter," it would be called a governer. A rev limiter prevents RPMs, not speed.

My advice is to cut every cable on the bike. This is the only thing that's going to save you from riding it and killing yourself.

If you must top out, there are other ways of hitting 185. For starters, remove the brake levers, cables, calipers, and pads. This is significant weight that is holding you from achieving maximum speed. Also, oil weighs quite a bit too, so drain it. The addition of a racing stripe would also help you out significantly. Good luck!
