Speed Limiter Method Of Operation?
I there somewhere that the top speed limiter's exact method of operation is clearly defined?
I am changing my gearing on the bike for the dragstrip, and I have been told that it should not be a problem, even without a healer. I was worried that hitting 186 on the speedo would shut down the show, but I guess that is not the case.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is at about 63" right now:
I am probably going to end up at 16/43 for gearing.
I am chronicling my changes/ progress/setbacks here:

You should be fine until you reach somewhere in the area of an "actual" 160mph in the 1/4
before you will run into any problems even with that gearing.
If you want to make sure just shave down one corner off the square part on the C/S nut,
this will reduce you speedo by 25%, for free, then you can replace it for $5-10 later.

I'm geared 16/43 with a speedohealer set with my GPS and my tattle tale switch on my Speedohealer V4 read 167 after I let off about half way through 6th gear.

depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the gears.i do alot of 1/4 mile stuff but mostly 2nd gear roll ons.i noticed @ the top of 6th the bike would shut down around 10700 0r 10800 my gearing is 16/42.i added the healer set it @ 90% and it goes as far as i want it too.when i get the time ill calibrate it,but for now im good with it.
