In G.B. (and maybe other places over seas) they restrict the power on bikes for newer riders, you are in US right? US does not restrict power like that. In other words, it wont do anything for you here.
Someone from G.B. want to elaborate on that? Please do.

I've never heard of the thing before.. sounds like it overrides a rev limitter.. which would be after 11grand? wouldnt the valves just float at that point?

No, In Great Britain they have to put a restrictor plate of some kind in the engine to cut the horsepower down until they pass a test or something to get an unrestricted licence.
Hopefully someone from there will chime in and clarify it better.

I still bet it's a load of crap. Even if there is a restrictor plate on bikes in Great Britain, the GS probably doesn't qualify for it. I mean, come on. 40 freakin' horsepower. Sure it's got some oomph, but are the laws that strict there?
The GS doesn't have a rev limiter, either. It's too cheap for THAT! :lol:

even the GS produces too much for the entry level permits 33hp , it gets restrictd via the carbs. this box here is to change the timing in certin RPM ranges, kinda like TRE mod

GSs don't need a rev limiter, therefore don't need anything to remove them. :lol:

Being a hard ass about spell check can come back to bite you. Someday you may screw up and homeboy here may remember when you called him out.

I agree with Jake D. This is a motorcycle forum, not an English Language & Literature Club in the far corner of a bookstore where we sit around drinking iced Starbucks beverages and eating saltine crackers.

Try and eat 10 Saltines in less than a minute with no water. The other day I was able ckoke down 8. 10, I think, would be impossible.

Another one like that is a slice of bread in under a minute (I think...)
It's weird how that works.

A slice of bread would be really easy. Just squish is up into a tiny ball.

My friend tried that and it just made it harder. It was a huge doughey ball and it was sticking to his throat or something like that. I had my doubts, but I believed it when he failed twice. I can't remember the exact time limit, but I think it's 60 seconds.

I think the bread would be easy too. I think I do that every time I come home wasted.
With the Saltines, I get to 8 with about 15 seconds left and nearly choke on the 8th, 9 and 10 are a dream.
I do have a bet that I have probably undertake soon. I've been bet $50 that I can't drink a gallon of milk in an hour without puking.
I took the bet, but now regret it because I'm pretty sure it is impossible.

Yeah, I can't remember what the exact time limit was. One of those nights...
I may be way off. I know it was bread, I know he couldn't do it, but I can't remember what the parameters were.

I was just getting on the guy for his word choice. Besides in the automotive world you don't mis-pronounce automotive terms, unless you want to be deemed a tard when you are supposed to know what you are talking about ie: the product you are selling, the G-Pack. Also if you want someone to take your e bay listing seriously, then try to make it presentable, so that the public wants to buy from you, you know isn't that the point? And there is a spell checker in e bay when you are typing up your item description. THATS where it is. I just found the word, LIMITATOR funny. Its kind of fun to say. It sounds like a technical word out of a sci-fi movie on lifetime tv or something. Anyways, continue bashing G-Pack product now............

I thought "limitator" was pretty funny too. Your post cracked me up!
Limitator indeed! :thumb:
I would prefer to keep my bike in "its original configuration" even though I won't be "permitting full exploitation of {my} engine power band resulting in greater riding pleasures."
:roll:
That guy needs a pompous prose limitator installed on his keyboard.
