Default Dyna top speed

The other afternoon I was heading home from a quick jaunt on the bike.

Just to set the scene, I was on a divided highway with no traffic to be seen in either direction. I decided this was as good a time as any to open it up and see what the bike could do. Anyway, the best I could do was 180 kph (112mph). I had the throttle wide open and the speedo just bounced around at 180 kph. I didn't hold it very long, 10 or 15 seconds, but that was as fast as I could get the bike to go.

The bike is stage 1 with V&H short shots and SE air filter.

I'm sure i've seen posts where folks have gone upwards of 120 mph on their bikes. What gives?

DID YOU HAVE THE S.E. TUNER DOWNLOADED INTO YOUR BIKE AND THEN DYNO'D ?

The dealer did the download, so I'm assuming it was the screaming eagle download that they did. I don't know if it was dyno'd though. I would guess not.

I don't know how fast mine will go yet since the 95 build. But I have bumped into 100MPH as few times and had plenty to spare.
Humm, do you remember the RPMs? I wonder if the rev limiter is set right. It should be with the download but..stock twinkies should do much better than that with the upgrade.
If it was dynoed you would know it. =)

If I had hit the rev limiter would it not have basically shut the engine down?

I'll check when I get home, but I'm just about positive it was the SE Race Tuner kit I purchased. I'm takin' the bike in this week, so I'll inquire then as well.

THEY HAD TO DYNO IT BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE DOWNLOAD WOULD WORK CORRECTLY !
