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 found out why the Spyder Speedo goes to 200! It's not 200 mph, it is to account for 200KPH. When you convert the units on the dashboard to Kilometers you can run at 120 KPH, and as mentioned here 200kph is possible!View attachment 152068
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.
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.
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!!

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!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.
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)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?
