FXFBS disappointing top speed
To start my FXFBS is stock, my top speed measured on GPS is currently 193kph or 119.92mph, I find this very disappointing, my XLH1200S from 2000 was faster.
I would like to hear other FXFBS owners' findings.

However, if you have the need for speed, youre likely hitting a limit set in the ECM. If you need to push the edge, go buy an aftermarket tuner like a Power Vision or a FuelPak and you can set the limit to whatever you want.

Most people here wont try and find the top speed on their bikes, for various reasons. Little things like, oh you know, sanity...

Thanks for the reactions,
I know it is a Harley but expected a bit more umph out of it since it is a 114 and my old 1200 did better then that. I used to race with GSXR's and I'm used to speeds up and above 300 kph
so for me everything feels slow but that was one of the reasons I went a long with Harley to cruise more ....but I bought the FXFBS just for that bit more when I had the need for speed
.It handle very well in corners and I'm happy with it but for now even my tupperwarebox GL1800 is faster so you could understand that I was a bit disappointing.
I have currently a Motorscan M6050 on order, it is a dealer tool that can alter everyting in the ECM so that must be able to unlock the speed limit if there is one

Many non afficial dealers in Europe use this device, if it just was a scanner then it was useless to them, then you better buy a FP3 for 300USD or so, that also erase fault codes.

Yes, but the limits you want to set are in the fuel map, I strongly doubt that it will edit that.
But you seem confident. So good luck. Let us know if it works for you. I don't think it will, but thats just me.

I never used a FP3, however on the Power Vision WinPV program in the tune there is a section "limits and switches", which has speed limiter fuel cutoff or something similar - where it is changed.
