Default Rev limiter
Hey guys I got a question.. My 2002 fat boy has the 95in sceamin eagle big bore, doesn't look like it has any kind of performance ignition on it, so my question is does the bike have a factory rev limiter? If so what is it?

There is a rev limit on stock electronic ignition bikes, I believe it is 5700(?). Stage-1 air cleaners, installed by the dealer usually include a reprogramming and raises the limit to 6200.

You can get a direct replacement from HD or Dakota Digital that has an RPM gauge.

For Screaming Eagle Ignition Modules used in Kits: 31713-01 and also 32724-01; the rev limiter is set at 7,000 rpm. Google "Screamin J02070" and you will find a pdf copy of the Instructions for these Ignition Kits/Modules. I have the Ignition Coil and Ignition Module for this kit on my 2003 Low Rider.

Here is a link to the above Instruction sheet:
