After some research I have found that the article is referring to the gear position sensor, click. By-passing the switch altogether with a 1.5k resistor in its place would do the same thing right? but the neutral light wont work? I could live with that! tis a race byk

I just put a 1.5k ohm resistor between the cdi green wire and take this to earth, leave the gear sensor side loose, on the Bandit4 the neutral light still works. There are two sensors for the Gsxr 37730-32C10 and 37730-33C10, one with the 1k and the other with the 1.5k. Think it was to do with the 53bhp rulling in Japan.

These ideas all seem good but every one seems to involve killing the neutral light.. is there any way to do it so the neutral light works?? or a way you could do some trickery to make the light work again?? its fine for my bike but my misses wants the light so im curious to solve it but not clever enough to find out myself lol

What colour wires have you got coming from the sensor?cause on the bandit you keep the neutral light and i think stripes had a fix for the 76a so you could pm him.

why are people saying the neutral light doesn't work? There are 2 circuits! Gear position switch and neutral light. Simple resistor in the hear position wire from the cdi to earth and thats it! The neutral light wire is left untouched. I make mine plug in so it is a simple unplug and reconnect if needs be

Oh rite thats good then, like i said i dint really understand most of it before but thanks for the confirmation stripes, that'll make life alot simpler, i'll be getting straight on that one then as soon as i can find some where that sells resistors lol. I know it will get rid of the restriction but will it just up the top speed or will it improve performance as a whole???

A bloke at my local bike garage said its an electronic limiter thats behind or in the speedo or something like that & that you can buy a part that plugs into the back of the speedo that will get rid of the limiter.. he didnt really seemed like he knew what he was talking about to be honest & as know one had mentioned it on here, i wondered if there is such a thing or if he was infact talking shite???

Does this mean that ALL 76a's are restricted? Just really sorted the cabs on mine, been shite since I bought it. Is it easy to tell. I'm pretty new to 400's, always ridden new'ish 600's or 2 strokes so dunno what to expect performance wise. Seems to pull ok, not gone for top end yet due to carbs.

I found the instructions and found a few tiny differences in my Speed limiter.
Took me a bit to figure out but all worked out very well indeed.
The Gk76a now pulls far better in the top 2 gears and allows me to get up with the more normal race 400s.
Thanks for the great tip :grin:

Did you just add in a 1.5k resistor? Do you have any pics? I'll like to try it out if it's not complicated. Can pm me the instructions? :peace:
