20-21 top speed

[Lew L]

.

Asking for my friend Jake -----

He can't get his 20 RT over 108 mph and really wants more. He thinks the VSS limits top speed. My old 2014 with a stage 1 pulls right through that, up through and beyond 115 ( with the windshield down).

Soooooooooo:

Are the new 's top speed governed to 108 MPH????

Thanks in Advance,

Lew L

Well, yes. Anything faster you be flying and need a pilots license. .........

Maybe BRP will have some answers.

Just curious about the +108 mph speed need. ....

[trikermutha]

Dam you guys like to go fast.

Any good ECU Tuner should be able to sort that tiny problem right out for him! . .

[MikeyTX]

You're up early.

[MikeyTX]

Mine tops a little over 105. Not sure about the desire to go faster. Quite frankly, I'm more comfortable plodding along in the right lane slightly under the speed limit and letting folks pass me.

[Peter Aawen]

You're up early.

Me?!? Nah, it's only just past 19:10 (7:10 pm) on Thursday night here in South Oz; the night is still young!

[MikeyTX]

Funny ! I was speaking of trikermutha

Unless your on a drag strip, don't know why you would have the need for any faster than 108!! I know how mine feels at 80, don't think I would want to go 108. Now I love to go from 0-65 with my hair on FIRE!!!!!!

No idea on maximum speed capability.

At a guess though, at over 100 the fuel, mpg is likely around 9.25 miles per gallon, giving a range of 50 miles.

Yep pretty much everyday

I have hit 118 on my 2020 F3-S SS. With Monster Stage 2 ECU map. It was still accelerating but I ran out of balls.

Thanks for your question, I was wondering the same thing.
I past what I consider to be the break in mileage on my 2020 RT last week end and gave it a good spirited run, at 103 I backed out of it and regretted
staying in it long enough to see just what it would do.
Mine handled good at that speed, but you do have to have your head in the game. I found 85 or so to be a good lay back and cruse speed.
I would like to find a good hand held tuner that would work with the RT and take it in for a dyno tune.

Where in the Northeast can you do that without running out of road or getting ticketed?

My friend Jake wanted to know...

[fatboy]

any nice long road i can find for me 120 mph before traffic still had more

[MikeyTX]

Plenty of back country roads in the NE ConUS to do so. One only needs to be selective. If your friend needs to ask, IMHO, he does not need to be riding or for that matter, driving. Just my .02

Well, Jake says the only roads he knows of in the NE that are straight and wide enough for that kind of speed are the heavily patrolled turnpikes.

Unlike in Nevada, for instance, or Arizona, where he routinely cruises over 100 mph...

Not sure about Spyder's, in the automotive world top speed is programmed to the safe speed rating of the original TIRES! that being said, i am surprised they go over 50MPH?
Someone mentioned his Stage 1 programmed Spyder went right past the 108 MPH speed, maybe speed limit increased by the stage 1 program....

[MikeyTX]

"Jake" needs to get out of his/her hooch ! It is my personal opinion that "Jake" is full of crap. Again, if this person is that unfamiliar with said person's surroundings, he/she needs to be institutionalized for his/her own safety as well as the general public.

[RayBJ]

My 'friend's' '20 RT will go past 108 now that it has the PV3 tuner.
I'm always amused by the comments of others that frown on what some of us with crazy friends do. The OP asked what the limits were, not for approvals or moral opinions. Just sayin.

BTW, New Jersey has plenty of long straight roads in the Pine Barrens with no civilization or LEOs to interfere with flying lessons.

Thanks Ray,

I was surprised ( well not really ) at the hominem attacks . Jake really is my friend. He had a Ryker with a left hand throttle and know has a '20 spyder with a foot throttle. He wouldn't be on 3 wheels if he had not been in a very serious motorcycle accident 7 years ago. He was hit by a low side motorcycle at slow speed on curvy road. He almost died and does not have the use of his right arm ( but it's still there). He does just fine on the curvy roads in the little mountains we have around here. BTW , HWY 50 east of Fallon,Nv is known as the loneliest road in America. It is. Un patrolled and lots of long,straight stretches for miles where we give our horses their reins.

OK-- not ad hominem attacks but backhanded nonetheless.



So,
Without all the recriminations and BS:
Do the new Spyders have a speed limitation bilt into the ECU programing????

[ARtraveler]

Yes, be nice. If Jake wants to top 108 mph so be it.

Mikey, Jake says he's sorry you're having a bad day and hopes you feel better soon.

He is familiar with his surroundings out west where he lives, but from what he remembers growing up in Connecticut the roads out there in New England don't lend themselves to triple digit speeds.

[Saluda]

Yes, be nice. If Jake wants to top 108 mph so be it.

As long as he's not near me.
