I am in the process of importing a max.
A 2LTNOOWA , the guy im dealing thru informs me that it is a Vboost V4 143hp model but all jap models are restricted to 180kph . Is there anyway round this?:hmmm:
 
I think all the difference was no vboost and different jetting. I may be wrong about the jetting though.

Total de-restriction for the Japanese Model:


USA Vboost & Control module + Electronics Needed
USA Exhaust
USA Speedometer

1 - Installing the vboost is obvious
2 - The Exhaust from 85 is best unless going aftermarket
3 - Replacing the Japanese Speedometer with a USA version is the easiest without hacking stuff.

The information below was sourced from Ingo's pages, but, you get the idea.

On the speedo is mounted a two-legged magnetic switch, that works with the electronics. On the back of the speedo-needle a disc with two different diameters is mounted. On idle - one end of this disc is between the two legs of the switch. When running, the disc is turned away from the switch until you reach 190 km/h. Then the other end of the disc reaches in between the switch, blocking the circuit...This activates the restriction (puts out one or two of the cylinders).

I thought I remember reading something about an electronic limiter on some of the Japanese bikes. I think it was located in the headlight shell. I'll look around and see if I can find it.

So they ARE electronically limited apparently.

Dude what part of NZ are you in?


I was under the impression that the VMax is not restricted or came with any kind of rookie switch! But I could be wrong.
All bikes that are sold in Japan are limited in some way. Sucks for them.
