110 Breaks down at 110 mph question???
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone may have an answer for this, doesn`t matter what gear its in 3,4,5,6 it breaks down or maybe not really breaking down but it WILL NOT go any faster, any ideals what might be causing this??
Thanks alot.. is there a rev liniter on these somewhere someone said a speed sensor or its in the speedo iytself???
modifications are to date:
ThunderMAX EFI with the two Wideband 02 sensors, Screaming eagle air filter, Screaning Eagle roller rockers, S.E. Adjusatble pushrods, Vance and Hines True Dual Headers with Rinehart Performance Baffles slip ons, and custom map from Zippers , however which was mapped for a 96 by Zippers? This last one may be the route of the plm.
Thanks

Be nice guys, he might live in Germany where they have no speed limit to worry about !!
To answer you question: No clue. Besides, the speed limit is most places is 70 anyway!

For any object moving through air, the force of air resistance (drag) increases in proportion to the square of it's speed.
At 100 mph, you need 100 hp (only an example, but watch the numbers).
At 110 mph, that increases to 121 hp ... so going 10% faster requires 21% more power.
To go 120 mph , you need 144 hp.
130 mph requires 169 hp.
140 mph needs 200 hp.
One ten ain't bad

Something is definately wrong.I'd check the mapping, if that is right your heads aren't flowing right for some reason. Maybe the adjustable pushrods? I know nothing about them, I'm just throwing it out there. My SE Springer will bring the speedometer all the way around to about 135-140 before it's about done, and even then it doesn't run out of power but rather the motor redlines. The only mods I've done so far is vance and hines pipes and fuelpac. Try to get the bike on a dyno by someone that knows what they're doing, you'll probably find out then. You can pull a plug yourself and see what color it is, that will get youa baseline to start checking. Brown is good, White lean and Black rich. Good luck.

I hate to tell you guys but my 2000 95 incher will do a lot better than 110. It doesn't matter how fast the guy wants to go. A friggin $30,000 110 ci motorcycle should go over 110 mph. If you all are worried about how stupid it is to go that fast then why are we all spending our children's inheritance to get more hp and torque?
