Limiter??

anyone know if the 08 1000RR has a limiter? I was reading the recent sport rider magazine 08 liter bike shoot out and the CBR had the lowest top end and it said 'limited'. if so, anyone know how to disable it?

I beleive that a PCIII will override that

180+ mph isnt fast enough for u??

I was wondering the same for the 07, I was told limiter speed was 180 on the 07, dont know how true but any education would help, and any help around it............

Personally, I haven't had the desire to go that fast. Maybe its because I ride on PUBLIC roads.

Don't get me wrong, I have gone plenty fast in short bursts and it was well over the speed limit, but why is this such a concern for you? just curious...

bikes are limited to 186-a stock 08 will not hit that-  my 06 stock hit 176 gps-i hit the 186 after mods were done

Onarom I have no desire to go that fast(hell ive only got it to 140 for a few seconds) I was just curious because i am around a bunch of idiot know it alls who know nothing and trust nothing they say. But i will be taking a trip soon that will put me on a secluded 6 lane highway so i am sure i will find out. Until then curiosity kills. 

remember inicated is always higher than actual  unless running a speedo healer

I appreciate the feedback...just checking to see what I needed to do.  We don't get them up there that often BUT there are certain times when the road is wide open and the fellas want to know what the RR can handle.  So far she has handled very well.  Thanks again for all the input and...
~ride safe or at least ride within your limits!~

Is it nessacary to use a healer on a new stock bike????  If so WTF??????????

yup. healers are needed on new bikes too, the  faster you ride the more inacuate the stock speedo reads :o(

regarding the motorcycle 1ks shoot mags articale..dont believe everything you read...
 
somehow i think these mags are paid under the table to appease the companies. tooo..lol

Havent looked yet but any advise on brand, cost or features. Can i install it myself?

And Will i work on cars and read a lot of car mags and i think the industry as a whole is paying the mags off for ratings they want.LOL.

How far off can most bikes be???????????

But stock bikes having exponential speedo error is true. Just an example... may be off +.3 mph @10 Mph, +2mph @ 55mph, and as much as +8 @ 100mph... and its exponential. Gets worse the faster you go.

Hate to beat a dead horse but WTF???? Must not be a cheap fix for the manufacturer. Any ideas around about what casues the problem(s)? Is there any worry about odomoters being off?
