First ride out :)

Hi All zxr owners.
I passed my test last week, got me insurance today, and took the bike out for the first ride. Im in love
Its got a "daytona progression" racing CDI thing that plugs into the actual CDI and has a cool on off switch, which definately effects the performance through the mid range and off the start. I think. More testing needed
But the thing still hits a rev limiter at 10,500 revs. Does this mean it still has a rev limited CDI in it I guess? Its a yellow sticker on it.
at 10,000 It starts hitting another power band but then wang wang wang.

Congratulations hudders !
The Daytons should have taken the speed limiter away - it sounds like the wire (block connector) into the clock is disconnected. Having never experienced the speed restriction I unplugged my red rev box a few weeks back and regular as clock work each gear it kicked in at 10,000 RPM and by the time I was in top it was / could only do 180Kph.
So it sounds like your CDI isn't getting the signal from the clocks so is defaulting to this setting , it seems the Daytona cant counter act this but does change the mapping of the CDI
sure it isnt a placebo effect? You want it to work so it is - have a look around the back of your clocks for any loose block connectors.

lol placebo effect... yep could well be to me at the moment whenever it starts pulling it feels like scotty is down there goin for warp 9.
I will check the clocks for any disconnected bits.. is there a thread for that? lookin now

Try unpluging the Daytona and fit loom directly to CDI - go for a blat and see if it will go above 10K , if all is OK you should be speed restricted to 180Kph then you know that little box is shagged.
Either a UK CDI or another limiter off box will soon sort it that being the case.

done, revs all the way up. Feels a bit boggy low downcompared to with the Daytona on it, but revs freely up to redline now. So i guess ill get me a blue cdi and then mess about with the onn off daytona switch to see whether i am dreaming the better curve which is a definate possibility. thanks for the info though mori man.

Thats got L on it tho, might be ok. We know for sure the M is unrestricted, doesnt mean anything else isnt. but for 15 quid i guess its worth the chance.
