Had a tuned '05 that would run 135. Never realized they had a limiter till my'15 CVO but how often do you really run more than 110-115? I use my phone GPS for accuracy, bike is off by 2 MPH, Porsche is off by 4. Porsche by the way does that on purpose. If you get a green Stamp you cannot sue them for the speedo being off.
Also I think stock Busa, Vette, Porsche and most others are capped at 183 or 186 something like that.

 

My problem is how in the actual F is 2018 7 years ago. 🤦🏻

 

That’s normal. Most aftermarket tuners will not automatically turn off your speed limiter. An actual power vision dyno tune will eliminate that. I know for a fact that I can do 134 mph in 5th and 154mph in 6th

 

Had a busa and rode it once it did a wheelie while burning rubber and fish tailing no bs. Ill stick with my road glide

I have a power vision tuner on my bikes. I contacted Fuelmoto concerning speed limiters. Here is their reply...

Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes the Power Vision removes the speed limiter on the Milwaukee-Eight motorcycles. All of our custom fuel maps already have this applied out of the box as well! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there was anything else that we could be of assistance with

I have exceeded the speed limit farther than I care to admit to on a public forum

Before or after you contacted Fuel Moto? lol

 

Now that's funny. Have been over 200 klm/hr on both of my CVO's. 2007 FLHRSE3 Road King with 3.5 Rineharts and SE tuner. 2011 FLTRUSE with 4" Rineharts and SE tuner. You must be getting some bad fuel.

 

...... i'm not sure i'm really up to finding the far end on the new ride
....... though i'm sure that long, lonesome stretch of 285 S of Saguache will be mighty tempting enroute to Durango

 

They are out here. We have 85 Mph and some 90s now as the posted limit in Utah

My bike goes fast enough to get a speeding ticket. As a side note on the 08 models you can't set the cruise control above 80 mph and HD won't reflash the ECM to set the cruise to a higher limit. When I had the Thundermax ECM I could set the cruise at any speed I wanted.

 

The 2016 FLTRXS has a cruise control limit. I can ease it up to 93 MPH after that is cuts off. Which makes cruising at 100 MPH a pain in the asss as you can no longer use the cruise.

It is a Harley Corporation level set in the software.

I hit 110 in MT last summer and was nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. Kept thinking about that front tire blow out years ago. I think I am all the limiter my bike needs.

 

My 17 RGS has a limiter on top of seat when I set down. Tops out about 85 mph.

 

:grin:

 

Just keep in mind about your tires when running top speed. Most tires sold for HD are H rated . That's approved up to 130mph.
You'll need v rated if you build your bike to top 130 mph and ride at that speed very often.
Can't say I pay much attention to the Speedo after 90.

 

When I asked my dealer about this, he told me that the bikes are limited to that speed due to the H spec on the tires. He said, and I don't know if it is really true, that the MoCo does not find tires for heavier bikes (as heavy as HDs) for higher speeds. In any case, we don't need to go at that speed, do we?

 

No there is no governer governer.

 

My bike handles like crap when I hit the 110 mark. Im guessing tire or tires or Harley. Anything higher than that I promise you the speedo is the last thing on my mind.

 

I had that issue, put Dunlop Elites on it and problem solved, the elites seem to have a much stiffer side wall than the OEM Dunlops.

 

I believe the engine has rev limit in 6th gear.

 

the Milwaukee eights have a speed limiter in addition to the RPM limiter, a STOCK street or road glide is speed limited to APPROXIMATELY 107 MPH.

there are ways around the speed limiter if you know how but you risk voiding your warrranty.

 

The wheels have rev. Limiters!? that would take technology harley does not use technology!!
It's not about how fast you go it's about how quick you get there.

 

And keep in mind that at top speed, your speedo is about 10 miles or 10% fast (or more?).

 

Where are you getting this information from? A road near me has one of those speed signs that tells you how fast you are going. Tested it at various speeds and my speedo is accurate.

 

i'm guessing the newer bikes probably do have some kind of limiter (kinda doubt that it is in the wheels, LOL), but not for sure.

On my 2012 SG, I had 255 cams and good exhaust and breather. Broke 120 on it.
On my 2016 cvo rgu, I have had even more motor work. Buried the 120 on the speedometer early in 5th gear. Moved on to 6th gear for a good ways. Hard to say what top speed was, but guessing (calc gears/rpm) I was in the 140's. was racing a breakout with cams and such. never did pass that sob.

 

My 2017 street glide with SE stage four kit, SE ventilator,D&D exhaust and dyno tune would bury the needle on the 120 MPH speedo

 

that's about it for a stock glide the wheels have rev limiters on them and only allow so many rpms before it starts applying the brakes. this keeps the rubber from expanding and rubbing the fenders.

 

It all makes sense now ^^^^ this is probably why I can't get back to the future. Problem solved on that front.

On another note, my 96" 2010 Street Glide would bury the needle at 120 mph and eat up the lines on the road like pac man without an issue. I never went that fast yet on either one of the RG's I've had. Keep it safe out there gents!

 

Well Damn! ...I guess 117mph on my 96" 10 in 6th isn't as bad as I thought it was.

 

Same set-up, I did about the same 112-115 MPH

 

Your on the wrong bike, you want speed get a Hyabussa that'll set you straight.
