i dont get it. I read all three pages, and yet. I still dont understand why this mod is needed. . . your bike is way fast, can outrun most cars and most bikes stock, why do anything to make it faster? I just dont get it.

man, you arnt ready for your bike stock. No new rider, most expeircend riders wouldnt be ready for your bike stock. So why add anything to it? why not make it slower? :shock:

again, im not adding horsepower.

im just removing the mentally challenged 1st-4th gear limiter. once i hit 5th, it's gonna be the same as before.

if i wanna make my bike faster, i'd upgrade my exhaust and install a PCIII... but like i said, i don't intend to add power right now.

i just wanna make the fuel injection on the 1st-4th gear the way it was meant to be w/o the mentally challenged limiter.

yeah, kinda like im liberating the bike.

im bringing out it's concealed powers.

the power is already there, i didn't add it, im just setting it free.

also, it not about fast... it's about making the fuel injection sys as smooth as it is when in 5th gear.

that is just the bonus.

my main concern is making the fuel injection sys smooth on 1st-4th gear. :D

i thought my bike is normally kinda sluggish at low rpms. now i know it's bec of the limiter.

No, it isn't. It is the way those engines are designed with all their power up top.

For a bike that can break every speed limit in first gear (stock), what does fifth gear have to do with anything?

well yeah, of course i don't always run 1st gear to the limits. actually i haven't, i think i've only pushed it as far as 10K rpm, i read power drop off is at 12K rpm.

i wouldn't wanna ride w/o shifting plus it's gonna be very very noisy and will attract too much attn from cops.

i actually like the stock exhaust since even though it's not very good, it's not very loud either so it doesn't sound like im going very fast.

Um, yes, you are.
im just removing the mentally challenged 1st-4th gear limiter. once i hit 5th, it's gonna be the same as before.
So do you plan to start in 5th gear? Because it's NOT the same UNTIL you reach 5th.
i just wanna make the fuel injection on the 1st-4th gear the way it was meant to be w/o the mentally challenged limiter.
The WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE was how Suzuki designed it.

Alas, you're smarter than their engineers, obviously.
