Beemer Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I saw this on you tube today, I was surprised by it's top end AND how he splits lanes at over 100 mph. [video src=https://youtu.be/Fy_fxBZXWHQ] Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Jane Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There's a governor that limits revs in 6th gear, isn't there? I thought it topped out around 120mph. Do you suppose his is unlocked, or is he just getting more speed from tucking in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsz18 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 An ECU flash will remove the top end limiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted August 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 I thought I recognized that stretch of freeway - it's highway 101 through Palo Alto. Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I did 130 mph (210 km/h) with a small windscreen and my chest on the tank, bike is bone stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Seems a bit slow for 130 and some of those other vehicles must also be tramping on a bit, are you sure he as not got it set to KM? or can you not do that with the US version. But at the start he seems to be going into a corner at 90 and cars are passing him, do you really see so many cars doing that in the US, I keep trying to weigh up the revs versus the speed but it's hard to see.

Premium Member yamahappy74 Posted August 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 You can definitely set the speedo to KPH but 90 KPH is really slow (something like 28MPH) and I doubt he was doing that on the freeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwpowere36m3 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I definitely see MPH on the cluster, I think at the start he's doin around 90 MPH at 6k+ RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing but I know that lenses or playback speed can be deceiving. I had to watch the lines in the road and the oncoming cars to believe the speedo, they were going by fairly quick.

I didn't know the conversion rate and when I looked it up, I must've misread it. I accidentally set my speedo to KPH when I was trying to reset the trip, lol. It took me a couple of minutes (while riding) to figure out how to set it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ralph Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 After looking at mine today the revs are about right for MPH if mine is anything to go off 131 mph is about a true 127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suppose his is unlocked, or is he just getting more speed from tucking in?I've never experienced this governor? Highest I reached I was tucked hard going 137 mph next to a Ducati Monster 998. Felt like I could've gone more had I had the space to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
