For those of you wanting to defeat the speed limiter...

[Motogeezer1949_imp]

I like the way you think

 

[Frulk_imp]

I'm pretty sure that Honda didn't set the max speed based on concerns related to chassis dynamics. At the governed speed the bike is as rock solid as my shop anvil.

I ran mine about 5 miles at 130 tightly tucked in with no stability issues

Hey guys so i am looking to get my bike above the 115 speed restriction. What all do i need to do? Has anyone Actually done it? do i need to get a fuel chip as well?
All the knowledge you guys can pass down about the speed restriction would be very helpful thank you..

Look here: Home - Guhl Motors

Then call Don Guhl. You will send him your ECU and he will reflash it. He can move the rev limits and/or remove the speed limiter. And do fuel remapping.

It cost $350 or $375. I haven't done it yet, many have.

Search the site for Don Guhl and many threads about it come up.

So I finally got my CB up to 105 on Saturday, but I'm curious, what does the bike do or what does it feel like when you hit the speed limiter?

 

[flynrider]

It's a very mild limiter (unlike the Rev limiter, which is rather abrupt). It feels like it's turning off one of the injectors. You hit 112 and the engine mildly loses a bit of power. It kicks back in below 110. If you hold it there the speed will just oscillate between 110 and 115.

Thanks Flynrider, good to know, I'll definitely have to test it out sometime =)

So how fast does it go with the limeter off? Is it enough to even bother with it? Anyone know?

Have a look here, Northrider.

In this post, Motogeezer describes getting into the mid 130s. It's tough to measure on a '14 or later model, since their speedos only go to 120.

ECU installed

Have a look here, Northrider.

Thanks that was a great help.

Where do you guys find the open highway to run over 100 mph? I will confess to having done that a few times myself, but not often enough where I'd worry about being able to modify the mapping so that my CB1100 wouldn't bog down at 100+ mph.

Me and my Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport did put on a few + miles in excess of the 'ton' in WY several years ago, and this old gal did so without an issue, even with panniers, tank bag, and a few pieces of camping gear strapped to the rear rack.

Perhaps most of you who want to eliminate the top speed restriction are track day riders?

In Montana, there is a 40+ mile stretch between Plains and Flathead Lake, Hwy 28, which is prime for stretching the legs of your ride of choice.

Not really, Flynrider. ;-)

A GPS like my Garmin Montana is much more accurate than my speedo. Especially on my ST1300. That bike has a wacky out-of-touch speedo.

...
Just to let you know that all automotive & motorcycle speedo always show more by 5-10%(estimated) than actually driven.
One of the reason is that you cannot sue manufacturer for speeding = your speedo was showing less and you got caught
In Ohio, "you are mine over nine" = watch out:exclamation:
In Ontario, if you are caught driving 50 kilometers per hour over the posted limit your car will be impounded + big fine$ upto C$10000 + court..no kidding
GPS seems to be more accurate.

Also in Ohio.. If you are caught doing 20+ over the speed limit you can get a reckless op ticket and rather large fine and points. They may just give you a ticket but if you are a jerk to the LEO he can make your life miserable with a reckless op ticket.

Btw the highest speeding ticket in Ohio last year was a Honda motorcycle going speed limit plus 70 mph. Yes, his bike was confiscated and he was taken directly to jail.

Please explain what these two terms mean??

Sorry op means operation

Reckless operation of a motor vehicle

LEO is an acronym for Law Enforcement Officer or Policeman

I want to be towed in Ohio:rofl:
