SK5 - Query re top speed and restriction

At a glance restriction via the secondary throttle (SDTV?) map might seem the logical choice, but perhaps that would be too easy.

Has anyone with a restricted bike messed with this? ie disabling SDTV.

Surely it would still be mapped to deliver the correct fuel for say half open SDTV so even if you wired the SDTV full open or removed the butterflies it would run lean as hell?

My bad - I gave the part no.

think MGT060 is on the full power, and MGT061 on the restricted.

Try and get to 10k rpm in 2nd or 3rd. If you can it is not restricted.

I have torque low down and as the revs rise the bike accelerates quicker and quicker. I can add 30 mph on to my speed at 40mph in a couple of seconds at high revs (7k and above).

I have been out today on the bike all day with a friend who has an identical bike - 05 SK5. I was chatting about this with him and we were both describing our bikes. My bike will go beyond 115mph, just rate of acceleration slows down quite considerably.

There is no way on this earth that my bike is producing 33bhp, it's an impossiblty because of how it goes.

Sounds like bike is running out of puff though, lower gearing only reduces top speed if you are hitting the rev limiter in 6th.

10k revs in 2nd or 3rd? I have hit the redline on these gears before (13/14k isnt it?).

No you haven't, rev limiter kicks in at 10,200rpm

Well I have certainly seen the needle sweep over to the red side and the bike screams at this rev range.

[yorkie_chris]

Screaming like you hit a rev limiter or something?
Your mate BS'es about there being "much more to go" above 135mph. Pointy has 70bhp, 72 if you put full system and air filter on one.
Yes the acceleration is reduced above about 115mph.

If you still think yours is particularly short of poke, swap bikes with your mate and see what his does.

Well it won't do 13/14k rpm, but if you can swiftly get above 9k revs in 2nd or 3rd then your bike is not restricted.

For an SV, In my experience thats quite normal.
