I just did this and considering the massive outlay of 6 cents and 1/2 hour's work, I'm happy with the mod. Slight difference on my 2001 model, but it feels like it's wanting to lift now from 5000 in first. At the very least, I'm not limited at 296km/h anymore. It also seems to come out of corners easier and accelerate quicker in first (but with my limited riding experience, I could be wrong). Glad I didn't pay $100-$300 for the same mod.

WHAT TO DO:
Go to the local Dick Smith's and get yourself a 1/4 watt 6.8k ohm (6k8) resistor. I used a metal film which just has a tighter error tolerance. Model # R0594 costs $0.06.

Remove the seat and lift the tank. Working from the right side of the bike, disconnect the Gear Position Sensor plug (as pictured), cut the cable tie securing the loom remove the plug from the engine bay (makes it a bit easier to do a good job).

Remove a couple of inches of the insulating sleeve and cut the pink and black wires (not too close to the plug). Strip the black wires and cut an extra 10-15mm off the pink wire that's closer to the plug, then strip the end. Twist stripped pink wire around one end of the trimmed down resistor (either end - resistors aren't polarised) and solder into place. Twist the two black wires together with the other end of the resistor and solder.

You should be left with a strong and neat connection.

Fold the other pink wire over and wrap all the wires with Insulation tape. Plug back in and cable tie the looms back together.

TO TEST:
Start the bike, increase throttle to about 2000 rpm and hold. The rpm should jump a little when you pull in/release the clutch.

hi peter
no pictures show (for me), but sounds good anyway.... heat shrink tubing would probably be better than isulation tape which tends to melt the glue when in a hottish environment....

Yeah, I actually thought about that after I left Tricky Dickies, but I thought I had some at home somewhere. Will be doing that when I service the bike and have the tank up next.

You can look on my website for a detailed instruction:

Will it work on a '03?

here's the pics. Not sure about the '03, but I can't see them using a different unit for the gear position sensor (more parts for them = more designing = less profit) The design is good enough the way it is.
