I just read in Superbike Magazine that they explained how to cancel the restricter the Firebolt has in the November, '02 issue. Can some explain how? |

Ground velocity (swallow) depends on prevailing winds. When piston speed gets much past 4000 fpm the piston is racing the flame front, hard to get more Rpm's after that. Did ya notice that one piston is kinda aimed at parts you might want to keep? "When danger reared it's ugly head, brave Sir Robin turned and fled." |

Another Good Line is After the Black Knight has his arm cut off "Minor Flesh Wound" Or "Come Back Here you Pansy" And I just love the "Castle Anthrax" reference to the tower full of vestial virgins. Gotta Love the comedy from the UK. Speaking of which a few years back there was one called "Father Ted" which was just bloody brilliant. I laughed so hard at those I almost pissed myself. |

I heard Spidey knows of a way to wire up a gameboy to control the ignition. Apparently the Gameboy Advance will even adjust the fuel ignition mapping. Just don't hit the red button as you may get thrown off the bike, This thread is slowly going downhill at a very fast rate. |

HBolt, Where are you. Your user profile is blank or hidden. If you are referring to the export models with their mandatory reduced performance option, not the rev limiter, then there is a way to retrieve some performance... Something about cutting the white wire looped on the ECM to release the artificial limitation on power. If you own a domestic bike (non-export), there is no such improvement other than a race ECM and free flowing air filter. |

Blake, Thanks, that answered what I needed to know (I'm in Florida - so no use to me). I was flipping through the magazine in the book store and there was a paragraph referring to a November issue that dealt with what you're talking about. |
