If this were the case, it would be a simple fix.

The data indicates that the first inital cut in RPM takes place at 280F degrees, and the second cut at 300F degrees (approx as the computer is acting on voltage not degrees). So yes you could theoretically disable this feature but I'm not sure if that would be a good thing.

I forgot where I saw it, might have been one of the Japanese forums (ask your buddies over there if they know) but someone did replace the sender and gauge with a racing unit as a test and the readings were quite close. It wasn't tested side by side but was under similar conditions. My ability to read Japanese is limited to what the translator spits out so I may have misinterpreted the information.
