Green wire mod bumping your rev limiter from 9800 to 10700. remember to heat shrink both ends when your done. I have had a lot of calls on this topic

Do you know if it changes the ignition curve or is it just a rev limit change? Just curious - thought everyone would like to know.

is everything in the same place on the 05-06 when it comes to the cdi???

also what year is the R in that pic???

this mod is only for the '06 model.

and its rev limit only, not a different curve.

this is for the 06 only

no wonder my 04 trx won't stay running.....

leviredneck59,

I believe you are the owner of a brandy new 07 correct?




I would assume this trick works on the 07, but definately wait for a confirmation from a better source before snipping wires.




I'm sure the one in Joe's pic is an 06.........







Nice Idea Joe........

Are you sure of this?

It seems on mine (could just all be in my head) that it has more power with the wire cut. I put a switch in mine and with the wire "cut" it pulls harder and I tend to get the front end up more often when I take off. I also do better in drags

2006BLACKTRX450R

ya mine's an 07, but honda didn't change anything from the 06-07 except for the rear travel

INCLUDING THE WEAK E-START!!!!

.............................................................
-------- Now that's some funny chit!---------

So has any determined if it just increases the rev limit or does it also change the timing curve?

anything similar that can be done to the 05? I'd like to save the 200.00 bux it would cost to get a dynatek.....

nope there is no magic wire to snip on the 05 to increase the rev limit

so this can be done with the 07 model also?

well I went to take a look under the hood of my 06 and found that my wire has already been cut and nicely put away deen in the CDI.

I guess my Honda dealership knows about this little trick and did it for me already!

but yes, I just wanted to maybe help conferm that this is an actual trick

What goes through this wire and such? I'm gonna try to see if I can trace the same wire on my 05 and see if I can get it to work.

Shouldnt the title of this post be "A picture is worth a 1,000 RPM!" hehe

Lotsogas,

This trick will NOT work on the 05!!!

Don't try it, you'll screw up your 4 wheeler!

Thats a yes for the 07 models

Thats a BIg no for the 04-05 models

Will this allow the engine to rev past its red-line, shortening the life of the motor?

More RPM's, compression, and stout cam profiles( other than drop in) will require more maintainance over stock period.

alright thanx

um...i'm slightly retarded here...um..okay alot retarded...

so you snip the green wire...heat shrink the ends.......then what..thats it??no more work to do? snip and go?

just a wee bit tooo easy there?

besides what the hell am i looking at in the picture anyhow..I'M LOST

The green wire you need to clip to up your rev limit.

That is your cdi box under your hood

Yes it can be done on the 07'

So do it,,,,everyone else is.

Instead of just cutting the green wire.Would it be better to put a male end and a female end on the other one.So if you wanted to put it back the way the Honda had it you could.This way you can get the best of both worlds.Us the RPM when you race and go back the way when you are trail riding.That's just my out look on it.Thanks.

yur kidding right?

Take the plug apart and pull the wire out. Then if you need to have work done or sell it you can put it back together. Theres a simalar wire on 03 Dodge rams Hemis. From now on if I buy something with a green wire I'm cutting it.

haha thats funny i would too.

So if i have the HRC kit which already adds 1000rpm will this do any good?????? Sorry for the late question but that just occured to me.

no doing the HRC kit and the wire will not do any thing diffrent..


yes you can do it to a 07

thanks man thats what i figured

i clipped the wire on mine, then when my R got thrown off the trailer and i took it to the dealer to get it all fixed, they soldered it back together and put heat shrink on it. i got to looking and found that you can pull the wire out of the harness. i did that and i can pop it back in no problem. i was thinking of running a switch up to my bars so i could switch between the stock rev limiter and modded rev limiter, but i dont want to cut the wire again.

I am the slow one here, what do you eman by heat shrink both ends? How do you do this? Thanks for the insight and the free performance mod.

Go to your nearest hardware store or home depot and go to the electrical dept. and ask for heat shrink. Buy a small size that will fit over each end of the cut wire. Cut a piece about two inches long and leave about an inch sticking out beyond the wire. Take a match or lighter and run it under the heat shrink and it will instantly begin to tighten over the wire. This is just to prevent a short if the wire to touch anything when bouncing around under the hood. Do this separately for each cut end of the wire.

Thanks, much appreciated !!

sorry for the question but how would you add a swith to this? so you could cycle between the two?? i know aboslutely nothing about switches but i can solder. thanks in advance

cut the wire in half, wire a simple 2 way switch between it. that way it's an inline switch and it's all good. i still haven't done it though

Can't u just go the other route and just buy the 12 dollar hrc harness?

Just cut the wire, heat shrink and leave it alone.

i know im beating a dead horse but will it work on a o8 i know they changed a few things so just checking

The 07 looks the same?? as that Picture.... or that is a "07" their's 2 much green wires???????Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment

ttt

will this mod work on the 08s? any other inexpensive mods for them?? thanks in advance

Worked on 9 of them that i did it to ...

sweet deal. thanks

im gonna do that to mine asap just have to get a nice switch and place it under the seat
is there anything that might happen if i switch in between those 2 settings while the quad is running???

Can someone repost or send me the picture of how to do the mod on the first post. All I see is the sexy blue "X". Thanks.

ill grab a picture for you in a hour or 2
