buddy of mine just got a used 09 xt. runs and rides great but the 3 times he has gone to 90 mph in 5th gear the engine light comes on and it dies.
It just had its 10k service.
I checked the battery cables, ground straps, the ECM plug and the tip over sensor wire (sorry i forgot what that thing is called)
Any Ideas what this might be?

Are you sure it's an XT and not an XP? I recall reading that the police model is speed limited to 90 mph.

Bank angle sensor : )

Surely if it was restricted to 90mph it wouldnt make the bike cut out?

Depends on how the speed is restricted, my brother has a Japanese market car and that would cut out at 112 mph ( it doesn't now ) An easy way to figure it would be to try and get past 90 mph in 4th gear.

Send me the first five digits of the VIN, that will tell you if it's XP or XT. 4MZDX is a UlyX; 4MZFX is an XT; there's a different 4th digit for XP.

Does the bike turn off? Or just not want to go any faster?
