Default Throttle limit?!?!

Hello everyone!!

i need some questions answered or help solving a problem!

2020 street glide special with the 114. I have a stage 1 on it. Screamin eagle breather, Vance and Hines oversized raiders, and screamin eagle pro street tuner.

the problem is: I have ZERO throttle from 112mph and up. 5th and 6th gear. Once it hits 112, ZERO acceleration from there.

is that because of the tuner??? Is it someone Harley can take care of?

ANY input or advice is much appreciated.

there is a speed limiter in the software, if you are using an AM tuner some will let you turn if off (V&H), but remember to please take into consideration the speed rating of your tires when defeating the limiter.

I’ve done aftermarket tuning myself just not with a bike. I’m guessing the fuelpak FP3 is a better option to turn off the limiter?!?

So are you saying you don't want a rev limiter at all?
Or is a throttle limiter different?

not necessarily. I just want to be able to push the bike to its limits. When a Suzuki boulevard m90 WITH a passenger can smoke me, it’s a little frustrating. There is WAY more potential to be had in this bike and I want to utilize as much as possible.

My 96er will smoke ya if you don’t turn off that limiter. LOL

I didn’t have a speed limiter on mine just a Rev limiter that has been bumped from 5800 to 6200.

You might not care, I didn’t.. Once you have that speed limiter turned off so is your warranty.. My bike was tuned via Power vision when I had my 128 big bore kit installed..
