It has been discussed before in an old thread, but it's now dead so I figured I would bring it back up again because I did a little more research. We are aware that the stock rev box has a rev limiter, but most engines stock or only slightly modified are not able to reach it due to it being at such a high rpm, and because these bikes have such slow revving motors. Some full mod motors can easily reach this limiter, but most engines will have valve float before they hit it. Many people are also afraid about blowing up there bikes if they panic rev, or if they crash and the throttle gets stuck. I also think that we all love the baa baa baa sound the bike makes when it hits a limiter. So it has been discussed that you could add a rev limiter that is fully adjustable.
The box that has been discussed is the adjustable Rev limiter that CHP makes for the 12v Honda bikes, like the Crf/Xr 50 and 70. here is a description of the limiter off of chp,s page:
Rev-Limiter, adjustable, CHP. This is the cheapest insurance policy that you will buy for your XR/CRF race motor. Eight separate settings, with the final setting UN-LIMITED. You can adjust your box to allow as little or as much rev as you want. Needs a 12 volt source to run the limiter. Easy installation and comes with a wiring diagram as well as each lead of the unit is already clearly labeled for error free installation. $69.95
It gives no installation instructions, but says that a 12 volt power source is needed. After looking at the wiring diagram, and how others have added head lights to there bikes, I have determined that the yellow wire that goes into the regulator is + 12 volts. So only the other wires would need to be determined. It says it has a wiring diagram and the wires are labeled. I am wondering how similar the klx wiring system is to Hondas systems. Aside from the plugs being different would all the wires have a direct match to the harness on the klx?
I think that fitting the rev limiter on to a klx would Would be well worth it, and would be somewhat easily manageable. I'd love to hear your guys input.
PS: I have way to much time on my hands to think this all through, and then wright this.
