Vvc only revving to 5500 limit instead of 7200?

THIS IS WHY

The three electrical plugs get mixed up on the vvc mechs, AND it's down to good old MGR logic(?).

MEMS2J (200vi, BRM, MGF mk1) : From right to left, the correct connector colours sequence is Brown, Black, Blue.


MEMS3 (25GTi, ZR160, mk2 F/TF) From right to left, the correct connector colour sequence is now Black, Brown, Blue.


This simple change has resulted in numerous confused vvc owners
The other problem could be the vvc belt is misaligned or a cam sensor issue. A cam sensor problem will probably give you a limit of 6000
It's also vital that the correct type of oil is used. 10w 40 semi synthetic. Do not use thinner oil with a vvc.

Thanks a bunch for sharing that nugget of wisdom about the VVC rev limit issue. It's funny how something as simple as mixed-up electrical plugs can throw a spanner in the works, right?

Reminds me of this time when I was working on my old bike and spent hours scratching my head over a similar wiring mix-up.You know, I was knee-deep in troubleshooting, convinced it was some complex mechanical problem, when it turned out to be a straightforward electrical snafu.
For anyone still wrestling with VVC problems, take note of those connector color sequences. And hey, if you're ever knee-deep in electrical mysteries like I was, don't hesitate to reach out to a pro. When I was in a jam, I called up a pole line contractor who really knew their stuff.
