Guest eatpasta Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I wonder if there's any chance it's just speed limited for the first thousand miles? The owners manual says that the motor can be operated normally after 1,000 miles. Page 6-4We have had a member confirm that at 1700mi its still limited. This has become quite a contentious issue, not sure we are doing much but going in circles. I'd hate to see another locked thread..... we've had locked threads already? really? I never saw those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ok, guy's, I'm about one more pissy post away from nuking this thread to Pluto and let the Plutonians figure it out. let me add that every single bike that I have ever owned had issues. Issues that I corrected.Issues that many other owners of said bike didn't even notice, because back then they didn't have forums to tell them everything that was wrong with their bikes. We walked outside, hopped on our bikes an rode the living piss outta them. If we didn't like the fueling, we rebuilt or replaced the carbs. If we didn't like the suspension, we changed the springs. And we didn't care cause it was fun customizing our bikes. I love the FZ and FJ-09. They are awesome and fun bikes that will do so many things. Like the FZ-09, the FJ-09 is basically a naked bike with a lil screen on the front. You guys really wanna take a naked bike over up to 140? Iv'e done it on my FZ-9 and let me tell ya, it ain't fun. But what is fun is going from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds stock. And when I flashed my ECU and installed the EJK fuel controller, my FZ-09 is really hard to keep up with from 0-100. Ask m neighbor on the R-6. Now, he used to pull away at 110 mph, but now I'm with him up to 130 or so and I top out just over 140 mph. "All on a controlled circut of course, cough cough". If you want to ride over 115 MPH on an FJ-09, then I will find you guys an ECU reflash vendor. I like supporting Vendors because unlike one time Group buys, Supporting Vendors often take part in the forums and use our wishes to R&D products for our bikes. But I'm sick of the bitch cry and moan. Don, thanks for editing your posts, and I understand your frustration. But guys, you are getting a pretty cool Sport touring bike for $10,500. It may not be a Multistrada. If you want a track bike, go get a track bike. I will not have this forum become the "everything wrong with the FJ-09-Forum". In the meantime, Let's try to be a part of the solution, ok? Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some BMW sites have become so fascinated with minutia you wonder if any of those guys ever go out and ride. I remember one guy having a nuclear meltdown because his GS's fuel gauge would never show all the way full - he was ready to sue BMW North America because that last LED bar wouldnt illuminate even though he just gassed up and knew it was good for 200+ miles. + 1 for getting out and enjoying motorcycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just passing along the reply i got from Yamaha Canada Good afternoon, There are various reasons that 'limiters' are installed on many of our Yamaha products (everything from scooters, motorcycle and ATVs). Engineers want the units to run beautifully in a variety of situations and for riders of all experiences. You might find this an interesting article! http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/motorcycles-to-be-electronically-speed-limited-ar30952.html Remi, Yamaha Canada 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eatpasta Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You might find this an interesting article! http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/motorcycles-to-be-electronically-speed-limited-ar30952.html These articles IMHO are extremely dangerous because so many more people are riding these days and the average bike is so much faster than the average bike 20 years ago so naturally there are going to be more accidents. Even a Kawi 250 is going to be pretty dammed fast. yes there are always going to be crazy people who crash at 160 on the highway but those are the exception. I hate the idea that there's going to be some panel of "experts" - none of which ride - are going to arbitrarily tell us how fast our bikes can go. What do they care anyways? It's .5% of the traffic on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papac2000 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Quite an old article too. The response i got doesn't explain why it's OK for the FZ to have a different limiter though. Doesn't seem there will be any results or at least answers to be had there. Not that I expected any. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
