Removing the speed limiter????

Does anyone know how to disable the speed limiter without unplugging the spedo. (on a 2004 sv650s) Thanks in advance!!

Speed limiter?

The sv650 has a speed limiter at 190kph, it hits that at about 8000-9000 rpm in 5th gear.... kinda makes 6th gear useless.

Your bike may have a restricted ECU? It will need replacing. But the Sv's max speed is around 120 - 130mph anyway. Dont know if this helps?

Could be worth checking this out on SV rider

You could very well be right!!!

My racebike has the stock clocks and will hit mega speeds over stock so no speed limiter here.....must be a states thing????

Are you sure you've got an SV650?

My SV650 would be doing 9500 revs in 6th at 190KPH. I don't know how your's could only be doing 8-9000 in 5th! I reckon I would be doing at least the redline in 5th.

Even if you are doing only 8-9000 I don't know where your bike gets an extra 4000 revs. Mine would only have an extra 2-3000.

Maybe you should checkout the Gixxer forum?
