Thanks PitterB4...
heh. it actually runs just fine except performance goes to shit up above 80-90 mph in 5th and 6th, though why it doesn't in the lower gears is beyond me, because in theory the damn thing can't tell what gear I'm in.
I think BanditMax is right, potentially I'm limited all the time. It must not be enough to really show in the lower gears... gear ratio is disguising it and I don't have a known non-limited bandit to compare to.
The way mine is currently setup, there is a wire (one wire only) coming from the neutral/gear indicator switch located behind the sprocket cover, just forward of the gear-shift shaft. That wire runs up to the rear of the tank, sort of behind the reg/rect and from there heads off to the neutral/sidestand relays and ultimately to the neutral light on the dash.
It does *not* and cannot (wrong connector) hook to the extra wire coming off the cdi.
If I understand you correctly, the P's have a completely different setup? Some other set of circuits runs the neutral relays etc? What you describe, a single wire from the switch, runs up and connects with a bullet connector to the yellow/green wire that comes out of the wiring harness, along with a few others, just before the harness heads up over the air box, right? Maybe I'll take some pictures and throw them up here.
My switch, btw, has only two states. open circuit/max resistance in any gear and closed circuit/min resistance in neutral. It clearly is not the right switch to handle the P model cdi, so far as I can tell. The microfische only shows one version of the part (figure 19, item 38, part no. 37720-32c00) for all models, so that just makes me more confused.
From my reading of past threads, it appears that the proper switch should provide three states. About 1k ohm in lower gears, about 2k ohm in higher gears, and 0 ohm in neutral. So in theory I'm getting neutral indicated performance all the time, whatever that might be.
I'm going to have to break down and go ask the dealer if I can look at their wiring diagram... if they have one. And maybe a trip to radio shack and start sticking some resistors in there and see what happens.
