• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How fast can it go?

How fast will it go?

A Heck of a lot faster than I want to go. Never been a speed happy Dude. Have had my '14 RT up to nearly 90 and that was too fast for my comfort. Be SAFE out there and ride in YOUR comfort zone. :sour:
 
I get this quite a bit. And all I can answer is the truth which is I don't know as I have only been to 101 mph. So what is the top speed? I know some have been there.

I have a 2015 F3's SE6. I've hit 110-112 speedo in 5th gear & ran out of room--traffic problem:spyder:

Eh anything over 80 just doesnt feel right anyway on this triple. Makes the bike buzzy and feels like its screaming too high in the R's for me to ride it there for long. Not exactly a relaxed ride when its screaming the whole time. Def has nut though, it's willing if you are for sure.
 
I've heard the RS can hit 120 or so, as others here have attested to.
I've had my RT up to about 105, and it just doesn't seem to go any faster. Whether it's a BRP governor, or just physics, I don't know.
After all, the RT has that big barn door on the front of it.
 
You have cleared up something that has been bugging me since the day I picked up my F3S and that is the speedo that has 200 on it. I hadn't even thought about the fact that one can toggle from MPH to KPH and that you need that scale if you are travelling at a high rate in KPH. Thanks for the insights.

It's also good for a fun game with a passenger aboard. Toggle over to KPH and take them for a ride at 70 mph or so. The speedo will read over 100. :roflblack::roflblack:
 
nojoke I saw 109 mph with my 2014 (on the speedometer...)
It might have been more like 105 mph...
My 2010 would top out at 101 mph... :dontknow:
 
30,000 lines of code for restrictions

Given all the testing required and needing an ARF gauge to see what's really happening, it's difficult for me to understand how or what you really have in your flash. There is over 60 interconnected speed/ rev restrictions so I'm not surprised you still have your speed restrictions. Just how does your flash compare to my posted results? My RT is laying down 50" of rubber and getting to 90 mph in under 9 seconds? Just what do you feel is better and where in the rpm range is this happening?


Good break down, I'm convinced everything mentioned above is an accurate assessment as even my 2015 RSS has a wall at 120MPH (Even with Jase's ECU tune) However I can get there a lot faster. As I mentioned to him, I honestly don't go over 100 often but when I do it's to keep up with fellow riders stretching legs on the open roads. Even before my tune I could tell that over 100 there is significantly less pull. Now if the butterfly's are told to close it makes sense. After the tune I've only climbed to 120 once but still felt resistance. I thought it might be the wind, but I'm glad you mentioned this because this appears to be the reality of the wall I've been hitting. Jase told me the speed limiter was gone but it appears the ECU must also tell those butterfly's to flutter off and let the rider dictate. Again this is just a week end sport for me not a commuter. I'd even like to get it to the track for runs. Maybe get it tuned for race fuel.

Good input!!
 
This proves the motor is capable of much more

When I test my flashed RT with a passenger or climbing up a steep hill, there is very little in terms of any acceleration loss. The 1330 motor seems little affected by load.

Just last month I had mine up to 106 and that was while I was pulling my 622 trailer. At the same time, Cruzr Joe passed me while he was pulling his freedom trailer.

Little affect from steep hill or high % (a passenger) of extra weight? So that 1330 motor isn't really affected by the laws of physics? BRP needs to share that secret!

Any idea what 90 mph in less than 9 seconds translates to for a quarter mile? (quarter mile is a measurement many relate to a lot better)
 
Based on times runs for ECU testing

Example: two stock machines climbing the same hill as we did for ECU testing. One with a passenger the other a single rider. At the top of the hill the loaded bike would only be a few of bike lengths behind. It's not the laws of physics but the speed limiters that balance out the loads. 0 to 50 mph about one bike length lead. 0 to 90 about 3 bike lengths. 0 to 100 or 110 still only three or four bike lengths. This is the test results we experienced when testing the flash under load to verify AFR readings and the ECU's response. Sorry, I'm just the messenger, but we really did test every exhaust and load situation in making this flash. To better understand, take two mopeds and put a passenger on one, that would be an example of a bike greatly affected by the laws of physics or load. Or take two NASCARs one with a passenger, barley affected by load.
The 1330 motor is a wolf in sheep clothing and in the stock form it handles all loads extremely well. When the load would come into play and the laws of physics take control will be when the rev and speed limiter are removed and the bikes reach triple digit speeds as the loaded and unloaded bike will really begin to greatly separate.

Speed limiters

Sadly, because of speed limiters on our machines we only have really good 1/8 mile runs as we fizzle out well before the finish line.
A member on this forum with a flash on an F3 posted a 20 hp gain but only about a second off his quarter mile times?? I feel the biggest reason the times weren't faster is because even though the bike reached top speed well before the finish line the bike still fizzled as the speed limiters took over.

Stage Two Flash on the same F3 with all the limiters removed, in my opinion only, the bike should be above 114 mph and below 12 seconds. The biggest problem for a 1/4 mile run comes down to controlling F3 wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gear for a good launch.
Stage Three Flash will incorporate a race package of intake / exhaust which will allow the individual to add their own fuel controller to maximize and dial in for their goals.
Stage Four Flash, can you say TURBO. As most of us know, there is already turbos on basically the same motor in the Sea-DO line up. Just a pipe dream for now.
