Throttle Limiter?

Question

Is there such thing as a throttle limiter on a sportbike such as a CBR600rr, and if there is how would I limit my throttle.

Answer 1

I think what can be done is a rev limiter rather than and throttle limiter. The ignition, but not the fuel injection, can be reprogrammed. It would be easier to change the existing rev limiter in the ignition than to modify the fuel delivery system.

Check with the local Honda dealer to find out if they can make this change (probably not). Or find an after market programming service (they plug into your motorcycle CPU and change the program), software (you plug into your motorcycle CPU and change the program) or a chip (a preprogrammed device that you plug into the CPU).

Any way you do it, it will most likely require a programming change.

Answer 2

If your bike has fuel injection, the throttle position sensor tells the control module how much fuel to inject for a given throttle position. It has nothing to do with controlling engine speed. Don't mess with it because rotating it even a tiny amount will make a big change to the fuel delivery and you'll be kicking yourself when your bike runs like crap.

Answer 3

Your motorcycle should have a throttle position sensor (you don't say what year the bike is). This changes the physical position of the throttle into an electrical signal to the ECM. It may be possible to hook up the ECM to a laptop and adjust this signal. I wouldn't try it myself unless I had a manual.

Answer 4

You are talking about a rev limiter, so you don't blow the engine. That hooked up to to pc, if the bike has one.

Answer 5

Yes, there is.
It's called your right hand.
It must be firmly coupled to the brain to work correctly.
