2011 FLHTK max speed ?

Hi Guys,

I have a new to me 2011 ultra limited with the 103 and on a recent trip I noticed the bike tops out at 80 MPH. It seems like there is some throttle left but the bike seems regulated at 80 MPH. Is there a governor on these bikes or some other devise to limit the speed, or is something wrong ? the bike has 50 k miles.

Many Thanks,

I have a '14 Ultra with the 103 and I'm pretty sure I've been over 80.

I’d say that there is something wrong with the tune.
I’d bring it in and have them hook up the computer to it

I've never heard of a speed limiter on these bikes, but I'm sure the ECM is capable of it...

The bike is certainly capable of more than 80.

There's gotta be something up with your particular bike. I have a 2012 and guarantee I've been above 80. The 103 in stock form will pull you into triple digits. Head to your preferred shop to start sorting out the bugs.

I have done low triple digits with my 2013 FLHTK. I do have a stage 1 with Power Vision tuner.

I just got a 2011 Ultra, it does have the stage one on it. I was out on the highway today and had to pass a bunch of trucks. Was running 85 - 90 for a bit no problem and felt like it had plenty left. Could be throttle sensor, this is a fly by wire I believe. Or the tune, how does it run otherwise?
