top speed limiter?

[hood27ar]

I have a genII busa & with the mode selctor showing "A" I hit 185mph in 5th gear with the tac showing 10,500rpms, I shift to 6th gear & the bike continue to pull hard alway to the redline meanwhile I'm waiting on the top speed limiter to kick in soon as I shift to 6th but it never does. I was wondering if mode selector have anything to do with it?

because you are not going 186mph......only your speedo is.

Yeah, if you were reading 185, you're probably closer to 165. Japanese bike speedometers suck.

My bike hit the limiter at 181 on the gps in 6th..... it is turned off now

Mine said 170 on the speedo but the GPS only read 156 as my top speed of the day! Those speedos are approximates at best.

My 06 hit the aero-dynamic limit(my big hindside) before the limiter.

Stock speedo requires a -8.3% correction.
Get a SpeedoHealer or similar product to dial you back into reality.

8.3% correction

That for Gen 1 bikes also

Those gauges are really only guess unless you get the speep-healer. What drove it home for me was being in the right lane indicating 80+ and having a blue hair in a minivan blow by. I don't really care that it indicates a little fast, it helps keep the blue flashing lights away.

I pretty much don't even use the speedo anymore - I am used to looking at the GPS for my accurate speed

General question for the org experts:-
Does this mean the bike will also indicate higher mileage than actual???

Should I even ask where you tested wot on 5th and & 6th since I haven't able to even test wot 4 th yet

You can run 202 MPH with no speedo healer on the japometer.
Japometer pegged reading 190 but in reality your only going 173MPH giv or take 1MPH. Stay in the gas you will feel it the factory limiter.

Ok, i have a question since we are on the subject. Where is it reading the speed of 186 (limiter) if not the same sensor the speedometer??

I thought it was reading through the speedometer, obviously I am wrong please in-lighting me.

Gear position and engine RPM = MPH
