Never thought this would come up !!! But how do we get rid of the speed limiter on the 2004 R1. Apparently there is a cut-off at 300KPH or 189MPH as per the Amasuperbike test of the bike. Too much snow locally for me to try it out but I know a few people with Gixer 1000's that have removed their limiter so I need it done too!

Haha!! I got into an argument in this thread:
04' R1 vs. Busa vs. ZX-12 The ones disagreeing with me did not believe that the new R1 would be resticted at top speed (189mph).
Look peeps, stock bikes have pretty much reached their maximum potential, until the laws or gentlemans agreements change again. Which they probably won't.
*** TRE ***
Taken from a Busa forum;
"5 cents for a resistor, 70 dollars for a TRE, 100 dollars for an ATRE
I recommend the resistor options, instead of wasting 70+ on a TRE which WILL probly NOT derestrict the bike. And an ATRE which may or may not work. I cant confirm that any TRE will work because i do know know how the electrical system is on the 03, on an 02 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th gear are known to be restricted, i am unsure of 4th because i have heard it isnt, but not that it is (reason why im making a homemade tre for both 4th and 5th gear).
Look at the wireing diagram in the switchable TRE post in this section, it shows how to wire the switches and the resistors. I listed all of the resistor values on there.
I know on the previous models , and i believe its the same on the 03, you can get your ECU rev-limiter raised.
Last thing, If we all come to find out all the gears are restricted on an 03, the ECU change is the only way i know of to come close to derestricting it. But, you get better performance in the lower gears with a TRE."
