I have to agree with Figment!

I did the sato banzai thing, so I am high and tight...little less on the HP scale, but not on the sound scale!

I rode jetblast10s RC for a while (high mount satos), I could have swore the pulses were causing unforseen damage to my body!

It's a little different having the stock exhaust back on the bike for me. Still sounds better than an I-4.

It's just a splice. From ECU port to ECU port if I remember right.

Re: all you need to know
I never got around to doing the soft rev limiter mod but I'm convinced it would be very handy on the track. There are places at MAM where I could really use an extra 500 or so RPM to avoid a quick shift up and back down between turns.

This is not enough motivation for me to cut into the wiring harness. I can see where it wouild be a help in competition though.

Unnecessary for street riding, but then so are most of the mods.

Well it's good for 4-5 horses. And it's only on the US spec bikes anyway. Besides, you have a hard limiter in place anyways.

Actually, if you have a PCII or PCIII no splicing into the oem harness is required besides discovering the hard limiter while at full lean is not a pleasnt experience.

I did this mod on the race RC51 but wired it to a toggle switch so I could disable it on tracks that might need the additional 1200 rpm pull or enable it if I choose to let someone ride the RC51 while at a track day.

The flapper mod is geared more towards the street rider than the racer due to the RPM range effected.
