Just got LC last 2 weeks ago. However was dissapointed with the top speed. Max can only reached 110/km. Motor shop claims that current LC that is the top speed. Anyone care to share on increase the top speed (as 1st model) without modify engine? I think they cut the top speed-my 2 cents...
hi daneillum,
true there is some difference between new LC and the old one.
yes, the old one has slightly more top speed, which in actual between 125-140kmh which, from the govt statistics (MIROS and JKJR) has caused too many accidents due to its instability. that speed is just too fast for a such a small vehicle (the biggest problem was to stop in time)
the speedo reading was also calibrated to be more precise with the new LC. with the old one capable of 130 or 140kmh, the speedometer will read about 170kmh which doesnt do any justice but high satisfaction to its rider.
the new LC has a more towards the actual speedo reading, close to a car (gen2 perhaps, not iswara).
this is the reason for that top speed of about 110kmh - 'heavier' meter reading and yes, restricted performance (insisted by the govt). it has better acceleration though, even only a slight. this is one reason why the new LC was not selling as well as the previous one.
