Flapper & soft rev limiter

Recently bought a new old stock 2005 RC51 - absolutley love it.
Have read on rc51.org (ROUGUE RC 51) about the flapper & soft rev limter mods, however, all the info refers to the 2000-2003 model years.
Does anyone know if these changes benifit the 05 model the same way?

Yes, you will get the same benefits with these and other mods mentioned on here and on other sites.

Honda stopped development on the bike after the 02 model. All RC51s/SP2s are the same from 02 onwards, all they changed is the paint scheme

Any of the mods there will help you out

ROGUE is a good source for info

ROGUE RC51 Flapper Valve Mod Page

This modification removes the soft rev limiter that was intentionally placed on the motor by the designers of the motor.

there ya go

Curious... what does the Soft Rev mod do exactly?

They do show you....

RC51 B2-A15 soft rev limiter mod

Explains it there

Quote:
Remove your tail section & undo the T shaped cover attached (4 push pins) on the bottom of the tail section right behind the battery. Under that there will be a black ECU box with a gray connector & a black connector.
This mod is best done with the PCII, as you can do the mod by splicing into the PCII harness instead of the ECU harness & if you ever need to undo the mod you can make it look 100% stock
You can obtain your own connectors from a cd-audio cable (pictured below) as it has the perfect size connectors to match the ECU pins.
