vtr1000 jap import
Hay there im from NZ and just purchased a 97 vtr 1000. I love it but am a bit worried it may be restricted as it has a spped cut. any ideas if it will have a carb reducer and any other restrictors?

My thoughts too .Kev L wrote:180 degrees out?
With the restrictors fitted it will still rev to the red line but have no power .
Re: vtr1000 jap import
One of our Greek members had a Jap import and I pointed him towards a snippet on the Superhawk forum that mentions an instrument console speedo restrictor.

i"m in hastings, its at 200kph this is achievable in about 4th and gets there with very little struggle, i would like a bit of track use and this could become a pain. Also the bike feels choked, just thought the bike may be restricted somewhere, has zero titanium pipes which may mean the airbox has already been pulled off.
Re: vtr1000 jap import
also with a speed cut would the restrictors come hand in hand as the japs needed their bikes restricted for their market?

This below could be the snippet Wicky is talking about.
I cannot say if this works or not, so don't blame me if you try it and something goes wrong. Click the screen shot below to make it bigger,

Yep Jap VTRs I believe are restricted and it's more than just a simple restrictor plates. I think it has something to do with the mapping in the Ignition Control Module (ICM).

Re: vtr1000 jap import
Plates are out made a big difference, after market ecu and I'm hoping I'll be satisfied
Re: vtr1000 jap import
Can you just plug in a normal ICM?cybercarl wrote:Yep Jap VTRs I believe are restricted and it's more than just a simple restrictor plates. I think it has something to do with the mapping in the Ignition Control Module (ICM).
