Ivan gets rid of the rev and speed limiters

I used to rely on my rev limiter to keep me under control. Knowing these 1700s are not Rockets I still enjoy the acceleration.

I thought I remember reading that somewhere but I never pushed it to experience it.

Also, sometimes I talk more than I listen - (Or so my wife says)

Please share the Tank Video, My head is hanging low looking at the way I ran my Amp wires to the battery.

Well I still hear it - Only when the temp get's above 1/2 on the meter.

Always the same pitch, tone - doesn't matter which gear. Worse at 2-2,500 rpm than higher. happens louder on steady speed than acceleration or deceleration.

I did some parts visuals today didn't see anything - I've never had the Plasti-chrome tank buzz on any of my Voyagers - Next time it stops raining - I'm gonna take it off and go for a ride.

My OCD makes stuff like this drive me crazy.

No.
Someone made a similar statement on this forum and Ivan jumped in and flatly denied tampering with the rev limiter, and asked 'us' to be careful of what we post regarding his service as wrong information leads to confusion. I doubt the Voyager even has a speed limiter.

I’ve hit the rev limiter on my 2016;Vaquero a few times about 6200 rpm lol but don’t know if there is one on the Voyager.

At 1/2 on the temp Gauge? Any chance it could be the Radiator fan?? or something in the cooling system.

And thanks for the tank removal Vid.

I'm a firm believer in "Back to Basics" - Take it apart, Clean and reassemble.

Yesterdays things.

#1 - Remove the right side Air Cleaner Cover - Amazingly clean - Shot some Deep Creek and cleaned it a little. Reassembled.

#2 - Removed Left side Air Cleaner Cover - Holy Crap - Looked like someone too mud and smeared it in my K&N Filter. I will say not all 4 bolts were as tight as I thought they should be. Strange thing - One of the bolts did not have a washer, Another bolt had 2. Oh and did I mention that the Rubber O-Ring was missing. - Well I've ordered one from my Dealer will be here soon. (Now - Do you think I was smart enough to look to see if O - Ring was on the Right side?) Let's not go there.

#3 - I also removed the Left side plastic cross chamber from between the jugs - Shame I wasn't starting a bug collection, Wow. Shop Vac time. Cleaned everything back up and reinstalled. Re-oiled the K&N.

Went for a 50 mile Lunch Run - Better. But I still hear it Every now and again. Twas a cooler day Never got much above 1/2 heat gauge.

#4 - On my 3 Voyagers -I've never had the Tank Plastichrome Buzz. Just in case that's what it was, I removed the Plastichrome Cleaned it all up. Went to AutoZone bought Chrome Door Edge Molding. Ran that up both sides of the Plastichrome and WOW does that look nice. Put F11 Topcoat on everything and reassembled. (I'm really liking that stuff)

#5 - Added the Edge Trim around my Trunk - Didn't do a thing for the Buzz - But It's Chrome and It actually looks nice.

Another 30 mile test ride - Even Better, May have heard noise once or twice on the ride.
I'll replace the O-Ring and let it ride for now. Time will tell if my OCD continues to hear it.

On the o-Ring - I might of had the Gear Shift Indicator fixed under warranty - We will just leave it at that. I know, I had installed the thing several times when I replaced the cover. I'm gonna guess somewhere in a garage someone is saying "Hey Man - I wonder if this part was important?" "Looks like packing material to me, just throw it away before someone sees it!"

You only ordered the One Gasket. This could damage your OCD ranking.

Funny how the air cleaner topic returns.??? Mud in on the side that the o-ring missing. Room for a rattle. I sincerely hope that will be your fix.

Do you have pics of the Door edge molding? Sounds interesting.

Still perplexed at the 1/2 heat gauge thing. I thought it could be when the fan kicked in. But must be a part that heats up and expands enough to cause a gap??

Ok - Here is a picture of the Edge Trim on the tank

[mbarr10]

THANKS Mike, It looks great. I understand posting pics is cumbersome I will check FB more often. Very stylish trim.

On one of my Vulcans I put the Edge Molding all the way around the windshield - I guess I'm a Closet Cheap Chrom-aholic!

From his site he has this:


9) All power limiters removed

10) All driveability inhibitors removed

In a thread titled 'ECU off to Ivans', post #17 on 05/05/2017 Ivan clearly states the rev limiter remains at the stock setting.
Maybe someone with actual forum skills can copy and paste that here?

Makes no difference to me, I never rev the engine that high anyway.

Here's the link to that post, it is the second one down (post #17) CLICK HERE

[mbarr10]

Rev-limiter has NOT been removed.... it's at the stock setting.

Please be careful what you post guys... wrong/bad info gives the wrong impression..


Thanks and enjoy,


Ivan

Not sure why I pasted it here, but you asked. I thought your link was enough
