Park it in your lounge room and polish it until you get your license back.
If you have kids, put a rope fence around it to keep them off it.

I still have my license, but getting darn close. This bike loves to run , I can't control my wrist! I read apost about restrictor plates for the k engine, that would be the answer to my dilema. Any help would be apprieciated!!!!! This is my baby! I love to fly,but I would rather ride forever than have to walk 2 steps.

That was probably me position on the restrictor plates, Whhoon. I have them fitted to my LT. The company who supplied them is www.fiinternational.com. But those ones have a specific BHP rating which may be too much for your purpose. They are simply a washer fitted to the intake to restrict the air intake. You could have some made up and experiment for a lot less than the cost of the kit. It appears to me it's the certification which is worth more than the parts.

A restrictor kit can be many things depending on what bike its fitted to , in theory any bike can be cut down to 33bhp but in doing so some machines are VILE to ride afterwards, i suspect a k100 would be acceptable but not ideal , better to just not open her up so much^^

Or you could always ride in Australia's states of Victoria, New South Wales and now Queensland where hidden, unmarked and mobile speed cameras, some operated by private concerns, generate stacks of dosh from unsuspecting road users under the guise of 'Road Safety' when in fact it's just a grab for cash...

I'm sorry to say but there is no cure. After you get your license back (yes it's going to happen) things will be better next time.

I agree with Australia, last time I was there I got ticketed for 65kph in a remote and unpopulated 50kph zone (conrod straight at Bathurst). Cost $500!!!! On a long weekend with double the points and fine. I left the country and haven't been back! On the plus side it was worth it to ride around the iconic race track, and I do want to go back to do the ride up to Darwin.

The K100 electronic has a rev limiter:
At 8905 rpm, the fuel injection is shutdown by cutting the signal from pin #8 (Electronic ignition module) to pin #1 (LE-Jetronic) and will resume when the rpm come back down to this value (This is to avoid over running the engine).
the value of the signal is 10 to 20 mV.
With a bit of research, I am sure that it could be modify. Maybe installing a Zener diode???
You can purchase after market rev limiters. Here is one costing $150. The advantage of a rev limiter is that it can be disable if needed.
Most of them work on the ignition, but you can certainly find one working on cutting off the FI relay

At the risk of causing offence, I offer this (with no intent to offend, but rather, challenge).

Frankly this discussion all comes down to motivation. Whhoon, you continue to speed because you MAY get caught, and if so, MAY now loose your licence. If you KNEW you would have your throttle hand cut off the next time you sped, I am guessing you would do what it takes to slow down. If you KNEW the next time you sped your child would be harmed, you would do what it takes to slow down.

The statement "I can't control my wrist" is weak/lame/BS. Yes you can. You choose not to. Don't rely on a mechanical limiter to replace self control and common sense. It is within you to make your own internal adjustments. Make the change.

hmm not much difference once you get up to 4 k and beyond ....although you will find theoretical top speed drops a little as you run out of revs with the shorter ratio bevel drives ...but all good for well over the old 100 mark ......seriously these things can shift a lot of road under them in short time ..and with such a short stroke they love to rev ......maybe not like the latest 100 + kw models ....but still scarey enough for us old lot huh ?

wouldnt a simple mask of plastic (1mm thick ) with a few 1/2 inch holes in it attached to the air filter air side be a place to start as a restrictor ?

thank you all for the additional info. I thought about covering the filter, kinda worried it might just suck the whole thing in. I do want to let you know I'm not looking to go down to 33hp. perhaps only going down apprx.20 to 30 hp. just to take the edge off. Perhaps adding a longer life to my 6 rivit output shaft among other things. also adding a throttle stop. Going to convert the choke light over to a shift indicater light set at apprpx. 5000 rpm as a reminder of my speed. Hopefully these small things will help !!!!

hmmm 5 k ...that equates to about 70 miles an hour or so in top ....good greif what speeds are you travelling at normally ????? giggle

maybe an interlock relay off the gear position switch could activate the warning light only in top gear and set it for 4 k ?

5th. gear , I wish , I've been trying to keep that out of the equasion since my first ticket. 4th. gear approx. 45-4600 on tach equals 60-62. That is where I try to stay, but she loves to fly!!!! On my search into restrictor plates i've found a washer, 1.56" o.d. 1.00" i.d. 0.04" thick. It drops right into my old intake manifold, the manifold i.d. is 1.25" giving a reduction of area of 44% , sounds like more than I need but a place to start .

I must be getting past it. If you want to go slower close the throttle. I just don't follow the reasoning to do what you propose.

A rider has posted his racing ride from a helmet camera and on Utube...what a plonka...he has now lost his licence for many years with a hefty fine.

My bikes are sports Tourers.

alright it all started out as a ploy with the misses to keep my motorcycle.But it's cold here and i'm bored,but it got me thinking,how much drop would it take to make her work just a little on acceleration , it is effortless now. Just take the edge off and feel some torque. Like I said it's cold here!!!!!!

whhoon the sugestion to use a 3.2 to 1 diff instead of your 2.81 to 1 diff was the simple fact that as the revs rise (about 300) in rpm your seat of the pants feeling is that you have already reached your intended speed. Unless your helmet is stopping you from hearing the dike it usually is the rpm that indicates when the bike is happy. If you took this route you would also notice that you can dawdle along quite slowly in first without having to feather the clutch all the time.(we have toy runs here and the amount of time I spent just idling along without having to put my foot down was quiet lengthy once I pinched the K100rt's diff at 2.91 to 1 I found myself feathering the clutch all the time in that type of traffic. you would find yourself posibly not stressing the rivets so much (once you got over the rather sudden accelaration possible on a short geared bike).

I spotted my calculations in the back of the bike hand book, shoved in with one of the service invoices, it went 100,kph divided by the wheel circumference 2.080 metres times 2.81(final drive) times 1.67 fifth (gear) divided by 60 the number of minutes in the hour your speedo states gives you your rpm. same goes for 2.91 and 3.2 (the K75). The K75c has 120 by 18 tyre at 2.080 and the K100 with a 130 by 17 is 2.080 thats all on the 90% aspect ratio for the tyre. Interestingly the front is smaller circumfrenchially. A 140x80% must be the same as the 130 me thinks. Wonder what the 160 55 on TWB's came out as?. TWB ? Two Wheeled Beamer? Two Wheels Better?. Keith

Charlie I'd be interested in his wheels circumference as He had said it was an 18incher I believe the 130x90% x17 is about 4inches in height that being 60mm if wall and 38 of the curve of the tread. I had thought it may be something col might need if he still wanted a shorter bike, that being a change of aspect ratio from the 90% to a 60% or smaller I know the front at 100x90% is smaller than the rear but even it can go smaller to 60 or 50% ratio having 2inches instead of 4 would be alot shorter. Imaging TWB's tyre if it was 90% it would look like a balloon tired bike. Keith

Just put both my rear wheels together and the 18" (160 x 60 x 18) one is 10mm bigger in dia than the 17" (130 x 90 x 17) one, so Col will be worse off.

yes i remember twb saying he was putting the speedo adjustment program back on to recalibrate after the change ....i believe there is some difference and was going to plug the new dimensions into karumba to get the right speed reading ...just a heads up

K=Freak col could look at a 50 or 55ratio'd tyre next time as its only a 71mm as for the 90 at 117 he would get 36mm drop on a 55 series tyre little bits I guess help. I wonder if whhoon just loosened his throttle cable abit?

good morning all; I have not forgotten about you all, but we are coming up to winter around here ,cold and snow. I believe my problem is to be solved by adding an additional return spring to the throttle bodies,causing my wrist to tell me that is enough! Set to come into play above 3/8-1/2 of travel. My financial budget keeps me from doing a whole lot of experimenting, final drives,tire size and etc. also going to add a bicycle speedo with 9 functions to play with. My speedo has not worked since the big crash. altough I knew the rpm to speed calculation before, since then I went up a size in rear tire and didn't bother to recalibrate ( my bad). I LOVE MY BRICK!!!!!!

Whhoon its possibly the right time to mention that a gps unit can provide you with your travelling speed, That is unless you have already written that letter to santa for the bycicle speedo. The 3/8 to 1/2 travell is that on the throttle bodies end or the twist grip end???? Tis a good idea who ever came up with it. Snow yes seen it once when attending the alpine rally down here. Say that feet by the fire back resting against the crank case thats the image, or do you have a handbreak that say's no to such bright idea's? I'm not great at choosing these things, ended up with a hand break meself.

good morning; I have to admit, I kinda got lost on those last couple of lines. So I went back and read entire topic, and first I must appologise about my poor typing, comunication skills! Secondly it is still going over my head like a 747!!!!!! The gps was on my list to santa, but seems he went over budget and I missed out! Bicycle speedo cheap! I just need to let you know, I'm not some speed demon, but got 2 tickets last year for 17 mph over. one in a 45 and one in a 60 mph. zone. it will now be spring before I can find out the differance in tire size to rpm ratio since I went up a size. the throttle project is kinda back burner right now, no heat in my shed. But thank you all and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

This is pretty bad when I start answering my own posts, but wasn't to sure about that edit part. Back to the return spring I plan to attach on the throttle body rail , exact spot to be determined just above the legal speed limit in my area . thank you again

It only took nine hours but I think I have this figured out!!!! And my misses just barely tolerates the machine, I believe she blames it for trying to kill me. She might of gotten that idea from my story,( OF COURSE I'M NOT GOING TO BLAME MYSELF) Then the new water/oil pump,2 new tires, and two 173 dollar speeding tickets. Not a good year!!!!! So in the shed it sits. Actually the weather this weekend is calling for 50 deg. F. but I have all the body off for a repaint. Enjoy your summer !!!

whhoon ..sad to hear she sits in the shed ...good luck with the refurbishment

mine was originally supplied with a power restrictor kit from original sale

apparently the kit consisted of a cable type clamp on the throttle bodies end ,,,i guess this just stopped the rider from opening the throttle all the way . or so im told .
