    Default Not even...

    see my reply on your request for burnouts and dounuts...again don't know that you can but this one would void all help from brp. If warranty is not a problem you could gut the system all together removing the ABS, DPS, DESS, VSS and a host of other features that make this a unique machine. This way you could run wild the old fasion way but keeping some and dumping others has got to be tricky and techy..if you figure it out post us a video..

    The only "speed limiter" in the system is the rev limiter...
    If you start trying to disconnect all of the computer-managed safety systems; you might as well fill out the organ donor card now...

    Actually, the rev limiter isn't a speed limiter since the F3 doesn't have the power to go to redline in top gear. It's aerodynamics limits top speed. If you want more top speed, you need more hp. (Same reason most cars go faster in 5th than 6th gear)

    I think some people confuse a speed limiter with a rev limiter.
