I have a Honda X4 1300 imported second hand from Japan to Hong Kong. This bike suffers from restrictions that I need to get rid of.
Firstly there is a restriction in the ignition system that cuts out one cylinder once I hit 180km/Hr. Secondly it also cuts out one cylinder at 8,500RPM.
I have found a fix for the top end (180km/hr) restriction on a German web page dedicated to the X 4 by doing some simple re-wiring behind the head light but this does not work on my bike as it causes the RPM to cut out at 5,000 RPM instead of 8,500rpm.
Has anyone any experience with this kind of castration, my bike is a 98 and I believe the Taco restriction is something new .
I have also found several web pages for the X 4 in Japanese but am unable to read them. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.
Cheers "Mad Dog Mick"
Ps the German web page is and has several Japanese links.
