R model ECU rev limiter Hi Folks (again), Well the Spring makeover is complete, and I've finally got the S/R cams installed in my 998. The cams are part of the DP upgrade kit of 45/50mm pipes, S/R cams and 996R ECU, which are all now installed. Now the odd thing is this: The standard strada ECU has a rev limit of 10,000ish. I ran my bike with 45mm open Termis with the supplied ECU, which gave a rev limit of about 11,200. This high limit was useful at the track. I also ran this ECU with the 45/50mm kit. The new 996R ECU seems to give a rev limit of about 10,500. I'm not too upset to loose the higher limit, I guess it may lead to a little improved engine life. But I'm confused as I would have expected the 996R to have a high rev limit. Also, this morning I've read an old PB test of the 998S (against RSV-R and SP2) and they refer to the 998S having a rev limit of 11,000. Therefore, the questions are: 1. What is the standard rev limiter on a 996R? 2. Same as above, but for 998S? 3. Is it possible to adjust or change the rev limit? 4. Why on earth do I want the high rev limit? Am I being silly? Yours, The (not so) Very Rev Spinoli PS: To anyone who has also read my query on the wheels - I've been a bad, bad boy. No more pocket money. |
