Why? To what purpose?I would like to know how to either adjust the rev limiter a bit higher or disable it altogether on my 1999 ST1100.
Thanks
Built partially into ignition so folks who fail to understand torque/horsepower limits leave it as is......I would like to know how to either adjust the rev limiter a bit higher or disable it altogether on my 1999 ST1100.
Thanks
Yup.......8K rpm.I learned something - I didn't know the ST1100 had a rev limiter.
Same here. Never got the revs that high.I learned something - I didn't know the ST1100 had a rev limiter.
being a interference engine I wonder at what rpm the valves start to float and hit the pistons??Why? To what purpose?
And you sure don't want to hit when you are passing someone .... ;-)I learned something - I didn't know the ST1100 had a rev limiter.
What happens ?And you sure don't want to hit when you are passing someone .... ;-)
LOL! :crackup<cleaning keyboard, screen and desk from nostril coffee-spray...>If you have to ask this question, you are probably better off leaving it alone.
Right on, highest torque: 4200rpm, highest output: ~6500rpm...The torque and horsepower curves are already falling off at that point.
Yup, got that right UP...And you sure don't want to hit when you are passing someone .... ;-)
The revs are 'limited' and the engine tends to cut out - not something you need in a passing situation. ;-)What happens ?
How's the ankle?
Yes, happened to me once through my inattentiveness as to what gear I was in and starting RPM, suddenly no power, and I was abreast of the car I was planning to pass. Brakes on and pulled back in behind the car to regroup. No real issue as there was lots of room and minimal traffic, but the cut off in power really caught me by surprise.The revs are 'limited' and the engine tends to cut out - not something you need in a passing situation. ;-)
