Quote from: hooter on December 01, 2007, 11:52:31 AMNo speed limiter. You can only run 130 (speedo) cause maybe that's all she'll do. Had mine 134 with 2 up. That's just all she'd do. Only limiter on the bike is RPM.......the VTX engine produces more than 90 foot-pounds of torque from 2100 to 5200 rpm and is still churning out nearly 80 foot-pounds when the electronics call an end to the proceedings at 5750. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/roadtests/honda_vtx_1800/I don't know why this bugs me so much, I keep telling me it's not a Interceptor or Katana and I don't really NEED to go any faster, yet the brute seems to have it in to give. It just seems odd it stopped right at 130mph and like I mentioned, no sputtering or missing. Sure felt like it had more throttle. See what happens when there are no other VTX's for me to play with? I am forced to run with M109's and Hayabussa's.

Can you explain that a little better...what does the temp have to do with the correction factor, and how do you know what the correction factor is for his machine Johnny not explaining as asked, suggested (at least to me) that he was trying to slam Third Coast Speed. As I explained in an earlier post, I don't know what all the #'s on those sheets mean...except that the AF #'s are close to target as it was explained to me, the torque #'s gained 10 lbs from the first run...and this is what I wanted...1 or 2 HP most riders will never feel...but you feel 10 lbs of torque...This guy ran multiple times and did a good job tuning my bike...end of story...Mike had nothing bad to say about Johnny, only that he knew who he was and that they posted on the same Hybusa Board. I guess I was surprised when Johnny (at least the way I read it) attempted to dis-credit Third Coast Speed...and just for the record, I planned to go to Johnnys on that Saturday, but my bike was not ready (fuel pressure regulator)...I had heard good things about Third Coast Speed, and they were only an hour away, simply time management and economics...a 6hr ride and an overnight stay, I would have made to be there with a bunch of X riders, but it didn't make sense to do by myself, when Third Coast Speed was right here, and I won 1400.00 gambling on the way back

Maybe you could go ahead and just let all us punks know just who we are. This will be my last post on your precious thread. Nobody posted on here to put you or your bike down, only to say the numbers just don't add up and you took offense. Anyway maybe this makes you feel better.
Dammit I thought I had the cause a bunch of s-#$* title!! Now if you guys are challenging me I CAN step up!! But first I got a question that nobody has addressed yet............. Isn't that a 1300??? If so I want to go to East Texas and be beat by him so I can believe it (insert picture of a gauntlet laying on the ground here)Merry Christmas Muff
