You can get rid of the limiter with a programmer.

115 mph shown on my Attitude with my H2's installed. :eek:

Yeah, they aren't really rated for that. :rolleyes:

I think the question is which programmers removes the top speed limiter?

have no clue as to her top speed other than it is something over 80 and with load range E tires, hope to never be under circumstances where I find out !!

No more top speed for me. I was spooling up the turbo and got smoked for 94 in a 60. That's a 6 point ticket here in Colorado. Automatic seat in front of the Judge.:eek:

19.5" Michelins speed rating = 85 Mph
DMAX governor = 85 Mph
Wife driving, pulling the Fiver = 85 Mph
My driving = speed limit (+-5), bad weather 5-10 Mph under (Just go around...I'm not in the same race you're in).

In a 1/4 mile 160mph+ and had to use the chute to stop, top speed way over 200mph but never had a chance to find out (BBC altered).

Dmax 104mph.

i've clipped the limter on the dmax..... if i want to go really fast i pull out the dragbike and go 158mph in the 1/4, or pull out my street bike that does over 180mph, of course i have only gone 170mph on the hayabusa so far... Dmax is mostly for pulling not top speed for me, it just dont go fast enough, and never will for me!

I guess 93 or 94. I would not want to go any faster on non speed rated load range E tires.

124 on my Attitude

with 215/85/16 tires.

I'm going to switch to 235's sometime soon so that will raise it a bit.

115? I think your GPS is lying :) With my H2s I only see 107. Which is about right considering the speedo is off about 7-8 Mph with the larger tires.

Just a hair over 160 KPH. About 101-102 MPH. Stock. 4" exhaust. 265 tires. No speedo correction. Slowed down when I realized how fast I was going, and running out of room....

92 on the speedo bone stock. Can't get past that, don't really want to either.

Andrew....

No lying here....115. Just stood on it for over a mile on I96 in an area where cops cant sit (steep sides off freeway)....Fun Fun Fun. Attitude was accurate for the 315's. :cool:

On edit: Must've been going downhill with a tailwind.......

My attitude showed 104mph (with it adjusted for the 285's) and that was it... Tried it 5 times and limiter kicked in all 5 times at 104.

I ran my LLY out to 120mph indicated. My LB7 doesn't read that high, but I had 109 as max speed on my GPS after a day at the track...

For those that have been here, this was just south of me where I usually get my tickets...):h
