Speed light - help please?

[Breed777]

Anyone know what the 'SPEED" light on the control panel of my GSXR250 is for?
Its next to the indicator light... can on when I went on the motorway today... any ideas?

[MyGSXF]

It might be an indicator for when you hit 100ks perhaps.. :wait:

like those silly beeping noises some cars make when they hit 100ks.. :argh:

[Breed777]

yeah only i was doin 70 :)

[starbug]

The 'speed light' you mention is a thing they fit for the Jap market. Set to come on at 100ks. your lucky it says speed, i once had a customer who got his bike bought to me by the AA saying, the oil light keeps coming on when i open it up!! Can be disconnected if it really annoys you.

[Breed777]

maybe i was doing 100? opps :innocent:

[MSTRS]

I think you will find it comes on at 90kph. Spadas light up at that speed.
Cover with a bit of duct tape. Disconnect. Remove bulb. Or just get used to it...sort of built-in radar detector ;)

[bogan]

yeh mine comes on at 90ish as well, probly speed limit over in japan or something, just use it as a shift light to change into second;)

[MyGSXF]

yeah only i was doin 70 :)

If you were doin 70 on the motorway.. :shifty: then maybe it was telling you to move your arse!!!! :bleh:

[Breed777]

Least its not a light to say 'Slow down im shaking apart!':scooter:

The japs wernt dumb and back in the day when they made in line 4 250s they equiped them with a device to let you know your going to fast.

This device takes inputs from the pegs and bars, and a moisture sensor on the seat to determine when your going to fast for your ability.

magical radar light that tells you no cops are around and that you can 'speed'

90? dont you redline it in first?

[Breed777]

technically i was doin 70 on the on ramp..... must of been doin at least Mach 3 when i hit the motorway and the afterburners kicked in..... you guys got those on your bikes too right? :yes:

[Ragingrob]

Yep my old CBR had a speed light that came on at 80kph.

Haha id never thought of them like that before, its like the bike WANTS you to thrash it...

Yea ive seen them on 50cc scooters that tell you when you have hit the big 5-0.

Comes on at 80 on the GPX

Comes on at 80 on the GPX

yep sure does

well i would of course, but that would permanently change the earth axis of rotation (we already have enuf trouble with the global warming issue), the VT250FII's were renowned for this sort of thing, they really should have had a warning sticker or two.

[Indiana_Jones]

My CBR's speed light comes on at 85kph I believe

cause 85kph = SPEED!!!

Got my afterburners from the local curry house.

Dunno about afterburners or a speed light... my bike has a button that says light speed, when I press that... WHOOOOSSSHHH! :wari:

[loose_unit]

My VFR400 light comes on at 85, quite handy, it lets me know that I should stop accelerating soon... :)

[Laxi]

I want a light for my zzr! how am i supposed to know when I'm going too fast?:crybaby:


edit: I wonder if that would work on the cops?... of course I didn't know I was fucking speeding oficer, I dont have the light to tell me:innocent:

What? Really? Mine has nothing of the sort.

[The Pastor]

the speed limit in japan is 80kph. It will come on at or above 80. mostly.

it also means your going to crash, as jap bikes are not allowed to go over 80 they have a self destruct mechanism implanted into the bikes system.

[sil3nt]

What? Really? Mine has nothing of the sort.Guess that makes mine better than yours :sweatdrop

Remember you have the US model and mine is japanese. I notice your speedo goes up to 200 as well :shit: Bit optimistic really :bleh:

So what is the light next to the neutral light and under the high beam light on yours?

Mine has an oil light.

On my NS1 it comes on at about 30, but strangely it goes out when the needle points to it. It sits at the 80k ish mark. Not too sure because my speedo only goes to 60. All I know after 60 is 100 = 11500 rpm in top...

But year, had slight heart failure when I took an 1989 GSXR250 for a blast the other week, and all was going well until this red light flashed up like a beacon!
The words on the light were unreadable (by me) Japanese characters.
Worked out shortly after my heart restart that it was the speed light, as the oil light was in English.... Gotta love imports ;)
