mkvgti Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, my tracer GT is going to be delivered on 22nd March. It is said that in Japan, factory cruise control has the speed limit not exceeding 108km/h (68mph). Did anyone disabled this limitation? If so, could you tell me how to do it?

norcal616 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This is a first I have heard of this... Only known "top speed" restriction was on the very early models at approx 115mph... IIRC it can be used from 35mph in 4th to 100mph+ in 6th... but 130mph is pushing the revs a lil past 9k rpms... 1 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmark101 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I believe Ivan's ECU reflash includes removal of the restrictions on the cruise control, along with many other things. Biggest improvement is much smoother throttle response, especially in "A" mode. Read about it here...….

So your Tracer GT don't have a top speed restriction when you set a cruise control? I heard that JDM Tracer GT can set maximum speed up to only 108kmh. I am waiting for my bike to be delivered, I'll see how fast it can set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only JDM requirement I know of is the exhaust... I'm am definitely curious if there is a factory cruise control limit for JDM TracerGT or any other JDM restrictions... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bike inspection every 2 years, so exhaust is an important when gas test. Well I have to wait for another week or so to be delivered, lets see how its different from overseas model. Aftermarket cruise control, we use a huge plastic clip to bind and hold a throttle like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that official word from the dealer or "rumor" from the internet? I remember when Yamaha did this on the 2013 FJR, limiting the CC to 82mph. All of the old, fast guys raised a fuss and Yamaha raised the limit to 100mph for 2014+ ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 107kmh, not 108... Mine is JDM, so I'm curious if there are the same in the US or EU Tracer GTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
