Enjoy pal, mines is in to East Kilbride on Tuesday to get the magic unlocked, been a bit of a slog getting to the first 600 with that wee white light screaming at you every time you reach 7k, it's hard not to. Get the miles in while the sun is shining

Rev Limiter

The electronic limiter allows you to rev up to 9,000 rpm until the first 600 mile service is completed. You will probably find that it's just the shift light that has been set to 7,000 rpm.

Manual states less than 7k to 300km (about 186 miles), then lower than 9k for remainder of run in which is where limiter is set. Had mine removed a week last Thursday and oh the joy!!!!

 

[RacersEdge]

Slick plug is extra joy!

 

[DCB]

Yip does go to 9000 but they telt me 7000 for first 180/200 miles and as am a good boy kept to 7000

 

[DCB]

Ah slick plug, anybody fancy explaining it to me please?

 

[Stevie Mac]

You get a wee red plug, should have been included with your paperwork pack. It needs to be plugged in to enable the slick mode function. If they didn't give you one just give the dealer a call and ask for one. All the details on slick mode are in the handbook.

 

[DCB]

Yip I have one, just don't know exactly what it changes/does

 

[Stevie Mac]

Give this a read, they explain it better than I can. There is a lot of detail in the handbook as well mate.
