Is there a speed limiter on a 2012 heritage?

 

No, but stock ECM has a rev limiter, I believe when you "hit" it will shut down the injectors.

 

My 04 has a speed limiter that causes a BAD banging on the back of my head...but ONLY when riding with my wife...

 

rev limiter on the ECM is set at 5200 or 5300 RPM. It retards the spark I think.

 

It tops out at 107 I just thought it would be more.

 

Your top speed depends on a lot of variables like your weight, how you sit on the bike (wind resistance - HD not really streamlined), tire pressure, at which RPM you shift into a higher gear, quality of the gas, road condition etc ... also how many miles do you have on the bike at the moment?

 

lmao!

 

just over 100 is the best 90% of HD's will do. it has nothing to do with a limiter, it is weight and wind resistance to power. it would be faster with different gearing, but then it would be a dog getting up to speed.a lot of HP helps,but it just isn't a fast revving engine. jap bikes rev to 10 or 15k rpms and weigh half as much. its like a big block hot rod Lincoln vs. a mustang.

 

mine seems to top out at 180 km/h

 

Drop it down a gear.....
