The title was too long so I changed it… (*´з`)
The best part I’ve replaced on the Inazuma 1200? The limiter cut.
It doesn’t just remove the speed limiter—it dramatically restores the lost feel.
(´∀｀*) The big sale of the year—Amazon Prime Day 7/12–13
The carburettor seemed so clogged it ran terribly.
When I first got it, I thought “Yeah, this definitely needs carburettor work”
The exhaust note had no snap, the acceleration felt bad, and starting was rough.
I installed a hidden gem plasma booster from my collection to make it somewhat better.
The order was backwards, but I advanced the ignition timing and finished with the limiter cut.
The improvement in feel is clearly noticeable (*´з`)
There’s always the question of placebo, so I extended the harness and installed and removed it about ten times to confirm.
It’s probably a change anyone can feel—or at least should be able to.
The exhaust note is thicker and the acceleration feel is more refined
The change feels huge, but that’s only because the baseline was so bad. This oil-cooled test bike might have been an extremely restricted unit.
Super tiny! (*´艸`)
There’s been talk that Suzuki’s limiter cut has just been a resistor since back then.
Some people say you can make one for a few hundred yen… but
when you factor in the time and effort to source the box, connector, and resistor and assemble it, buying one is cheaper.
When comparing making/fixing versus buying, you have to factor in price plus time.
It’s tough if you think your time is free… (´ρ`)
I’ll cut out some SUS304 sheet (‘ω’)ノ
Quick-set with my favorite Megmix (・´з`・)
The limiter cut grew legs!
You should avoid just slapping parts on the bike with double-sided tape or cable ties.
The finish ends up looking rough.
The limiter cut connector is located under the tank
And it’s in an annoying spot…
This bike has a ridiculous amount of harness—why?? I wonder every time.
The stock layout is honestly a mess. *Including the GS1200SS
I was able to mount it cleanly next to the fuse box ~ (ΦωΦ)
And of course, access to the fuse box is still easy (‘ω’)ノ
Install aftermarket parts to boost performance without sacrificing serviceability. That’s important (・´з`・)
One thing I forgot to mention—extend the harness! (*’▽’)
For parts like this, bike shops struggle with installation labor.
Since the part itself is cheap, it’s hard to charge for labor.
But I think
you should ask: “Do you want a sloppy cheap install or a solid one worth the price?”
A poor installation will definitely lead to regret… or so I think.
