On my Rgv2500 it has on the dash "Speed" which comes on red when i get up to 90kph + it blinks on and off. What does this mean?

Slow down! Go much faster and you will die.
The instructions are simple...
It means you are doing 90kph+.
Bit like the 100k beeper in a lot of Jap import cars.
Stick a bit of tape over it, hides it if it annoys you. May not be possible to disconnect, in case it 'kills' the ignition.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

I would assume its the same thing as the annoying bells in jap cars that tell you you are going faster than the speed limit..
But i could be wrong.

Crikey, speed warning light? SSSHHHHH the authorities may try to get em put on all bikes.
Maybe it is the rev change light.... and you are forgetting to change outta 1st gear??!!

Had a go on a bike that did this and it also had an annoying blipping sound. As is mentioned above it was to alert the rider that they were exceeding the speed limit.

rip the bulb out... the old xj use to come on at 80 and blind me at night... then thats where I mounted the alarm warning light that use to flash when alarm was on...

So let me get this straight.....
When you get to a speed that 'someone' has determined is dangerous a distracting light starts flashing on the dash!
Where's the logic in that?

Ah i suspected it was something like this. I wonder what the speed limit over in Japan is then? Good point Nighthawk, night riding it would be a major distraction i didn't think of that. So yeah I will disconnect the bulb might be the easiest way eh. Thanks for the tip!

I had an '87 NSR that did that, a red light came on and stayed on over 80kph, a bit of black tape, problem solvedOriginally Posted by Daza
dunno about a beeper though, that would suck

On divided national highways, the speed limit is 100kph just like here. Not sure why it comes on at 90kph, the next lowest speed limit is 60kph.Ah i suspected it was something like this.

My FZR 750 came on at 80k. Was a good reminder in 80k zones - didnt worry about the speedo - just waited for the light to flash.
I think bikes had an 80k limit at one stage. But, I could be wrong - I usually am!

bikes should be banned or limited at the very least

Both the Spada, and GPX's come on at 90. I just covered mine with black tape.

My speed alarm doesn't kick in until about 160kph, but then, when it does, it is much more persuasive than a beeper or a flashing light. First you get this full on buzzing sensation up your arms, followed by severe blurring of vision, and then, if you continue to twist the throttle, your fillings rattle loose and your eyes bleed.
Quite amazing really, and very, very effective.
