Restricted ECU rev ceiling?
 

Just got a great SV after many years not riding. Really am enjoying the experience but still getting to grips with the V twin and engine breaking. I am told that I have the proper ECU fitted but it seems the bike tops out at around 8000 rpm without letting me go anywhere near the red line. Admittedly i was only really used to big two strokes but it seems a little strange that the power ends that early. Any thoughts??

Cheers guys

It's not normal for a full power ECU

Cheers Ralph. The bike is standard so I am a little confused. What is normal when going through the gears, should it still be pulling after say 8500 rpm all the way through to say 10500?

Thanks

Yes, full power ECU should pull to the red line then bounce off the limiter (if you really want it to). I know restricted ECU runs out of puff early, but I've never ridden one so I can't be of much use there I'm afraid.

sounds like the bike may be restricted. What year is your bike?

Sounds restricted to me.

I have a full power ECU available from a K5 which will fit most up-to k7 I believe.
I can ship it for you to try and if it works then you can buy it. what year bike do you have.
