CLUBSPORT 1100 REV LIMIT?

[cdwatson]

Can anybody tell me if these have a rev limiter? And if so what’s it set to? And is it adjustable?

If not has anybody fitted one?

Thanks,

Colin.

Yes - normally set to 11,500rpm, but racers have been known to tweak them up a bit. Unless you have a very old clubsport, there'll be a box in the engine bay with a switch on it that allows you to adjust the rev limit in 500rpm increments.

Be carefull if you increase the revs it will be even easier to 'buzz' the engine when changing down. If you want more speed or acceleration out of corners etc changing the rear sprocket is an option.

Thanks for the info.

I’m not looking to increase the limit just to make sure that there is a limiter, as I have not noticed any limit to the rev’s when missing a gear!!

The car is an early clubsport and I have not seen this box in the engine bay. Does this mean NO limiter?

[nildram]

Na - probably means it's fixed. Anyway, suggest you stop missing gears (how do you do that in a clubsport, anyway?)...

[cdwatson]

It sometimes selects neutral when changing up! Not sure between which gears 4 to 5 or 5 to 6.

Is this just me not moving the lever enough or does it mean gearbox re-build?

Nothing to worry about, false neturals are a part of m/cycle gearboxes. Kawasaki boxes aren't to bad, Suzuki have the slickest and Honda have the equalivent of a tractor box....horrible things

Just be firmer with the gear lever when changing gear and you will find it a lot better.

If you constantly find neutral when shifting up, carefully check the shift linkage...particularly at the motor end. The shift rod on the motor can come loose and though it can't "fall off", it can produce enough slack that the shifting will become sloppy and innacurate.

That's one of the nut and bolt things for every time you take the car out.

AndrewD had his linkage shear off at the engine end at roughly two years old... and mine went the same way just a few hours later - cars were build together so perfectly engineered design life
