[QUOTE="dannymax, post: 841563, member: 25765"] It was quickly evident that the FJR was a far different ride than my V Max, where every added mile per hour feels more like 5! So I got and installed a VC throttle lock figuring this would be the end of any 'over the limit' issues. On my test ride I ran it up to 65, locked down the VC and kicked back to enjoy the ride. A few miles down the road it felt like we were slowing slightly....that's ok, probably set the pinch clamp too loose....so I twisted it up just a tad. A few miles later, the same thing....slowing again, at least it felt like it, so another little twist....!! I look at the speedo...Holy crapola!! 80 mph!! :o I only hope I can afford the 'adjustment period', and resultant increase in insurance premiums!! :huh: [/QUOTE]
