Top speed issue

[Journeyman]

You guys are hooligans. I spend most of my time down low playing with torque in the twisties, which I love.

I hit 100, 110 (maybe once), and then back off. 164 is insane- for me, anyway. Still, for me, the twisties are where the real fun happens.

With a GT after 180Kph you feet get lifted off the pegs by the wind pressure, 200+k's even more so, & the wind blast alone is enough for me to stay away from those speeds. I think mid pegs would fare better in the high speed running stakes. But it's good to know any day you feel like it she'll top 200k's & not bat an eyelid, in fact she wants more . . .

3000=75
4000=95
5000=115
6000=135 and JAIL and bike taken

No mods, no changes done to the bike.
A new set of wire and clutch pkates were installed. Now to test if the new set are faulty, reinstalled the original ones (both), same issue now persists. Whenever I try to go over 160 kmph, the bike oscillates, as if it is not getting fuel properly.
Checked fuel pump also.

Kevin Frazier knows a bit about top speed & going fast . . . . maybe he can throw some light on it for you.

custom tune here and get 265kph (164mph) in 6th gear at 1400m (4450 ft) above sea level. due to the gearing on the drive shaft that the absolute limit in term of top speed. with the original map top end is restricted to 240kph.

Speedo indicated or real (GPS) data?

Here is the chart I generated when we were doing the land speed records. We had the rev limiter set at 6400 which is 400 over stock. This doesn't assume any slippage or tire expansion.

How much speed to you figure we lost on the 155 mph run due to wheel slip?

Tune Installed, speed limiter removed, and I hit 270 Km/h on my GT and it still seemed to have room to go more, but that was Speedo reading, i'm not sure how far out it is, was going for 300 but the highway cops had the Corvette out that night, I wasn't to sure I could outrun that thing
