FINALLY! A Rebel 1100 Top Speed Limiter DELETE!!

Ever since the Honda Rebel 1100 was released, one of the biggest complaints about it has been the pesky 100mph top speed limiter. NOT ANYMORE!
I set out to find a way to remove the top speed governor on the Rebel 1100, went down a rabbit-hole on the internet, and somewhere along the way discovered the HealTech SpeedoHealer TSD. HealTech had the normal SpeedoHealer listed as compatible with the new Rebel 1100, but not the TSD version, which is what they make to derestrict the top speed of bikes. When I reached out to them, they said that they knew the SpeedoHealer worked, but they hadn't been able to test out the Top Speed Derestriction version yet. Sooo as always, I decided to be the guinea pig.
And man am I glad that I decided to do that! Cause it WORKED! As far as I know, I'm the first person to figure out how to delete the top speed restrictor on the Honda Rebel 1100! And the best part? It's plug-n-play AND only $110!!
So what're you waiting for? Install a SpeedoHealer SH-V4-TSD on your Rebel 1100 and stop letting Honda tell you how fast you can ride! hahah
When buying your kit, REMEMBER!!-
-MANUAL Rebel 1100's will need a SpeedoHealer SH-V4-TSD with an SH-H05 harness.
DCT Rebel 1100's, according to HealTech, will need a SpeedoHealer SH-V4 TSD with an SH-H05 harness, BUT I believe they may actually need the SH-U01 universal harness that DCT Africa Twins use.

UPDATE- This seems to work better if you set the speed threshold to 95. I think 98 was too close to the stock cutoff, and that’s why it seemed to not work that one time. Since lowering the threshold to 95 everything has been smooth sailing 👌🏻🤘🏻

[@richardbarlow9361]

I live in the UK, my Rebel 1100 manual is governed to 110mph, it will not rev above 6000rpm in top gear. I have run it on a private road flat out without a screen and a with a Puig generic screen fitted. I have never encountered any issues with the front end or handling wise in general at the top end, or any or any speed getting there. Thinking of getting the ecu flashed sometime this year, just to let the engine breath better ;-)

have you considered pairing it with a Dyna Jet Power commander? The Rebel 1100's run lean from the factory. they have preset tunes for factory intake and exhaust, aswell as factory intake and Slip on exhausts like your TBR. It plays a similar game of confusing the ECU to dispense more fuel.

[@Walt_G]

I suspect a larger fork mounted fairing might actually make the front end wobble worse as it provides more air resistance. However trying it out is the only sure way to find out, just take your time above 90 to see when or if the wobble starts. I hope it works out for you.

[@JWard2]

Steering dampers are cool, but a bit of a bandage fix.

Agreed 100%! It’s a bit odd to sell a “performance cruiser” and then limit the performance. But I guess Honda did it for some reason? Maybe they knew that they’re a bit wobbly at high speeds and put the limiter to help prevent accidents? Who knows…hopefully we see improvements in the future that make the bike more stable at speed as well 🤞🏻

As you had in one ☝🏻 of your earlier videos, I’m guessing the phone mount even tho it’s close to center along with the fatter front tire, are enough to cause those speed wobbles. Thanks for the vid! Can’t wait to get My hands on on of those speed 🚫 And play around a bit.

Haven't seen it mentioned specifically below but the speed wobble on the rebel is more often than not the PHONE ON THE MOUNT. Try it without the phone and hopefully it's more stable at higher speeds!

[@steve7572]

99.9% certain it is the tires causing the issue. My 2023 BMW S1000R had Battleax S22's as the factory tire, but they are a sub-standard version since they are cheaper. Anyway, I would get the same wobble between 95-105mph, same as you. Changed to Road 6 and not a single issue since. I couldve gone aftermarket S22's and it wouldve been better as well. Dealer tires are a cheap sub-quality of the actual aftermarket version. Similar to Marlboro and Winston. One is a "quality" cigarette and the other a version where they swept tobacco off the floor

[@dr.ben_gaming7184]

Hey does this video also apply to the DCT model?

Hello ,I live in uk, i dont know if the Honda Rebel 1100 dct we get here is different but, on a closed circuit road, i had my very standard bike up to 110 and still going ,no shakes or wobbles, however when i used to have a Triumph Bonneville 1200 with a small screen on the front it would wobble at high speed, i took the small screen off and it had no speed wobble, IT is the same if you have a phone mount on your bike, it can induce a speed wobble, I did have the honda dealer check the steering head torque settings and it was fine. great Bike the Rebel 1100 DCT one of my all time faves, ,very easy to ride,comfortable with ,reasonable handling after fettling the suspension.(essential).

The front end lifts and an uneven wind trail is caused by your phone being on one side because of the light front end . Either center the phone, or get a wind screen .

[@ericdoe2318]

I have gone 105 mph on my 2020 Rebel 500. And by 105 what I’m saying is it will sit there wide open in 6th going between 98-105 mph depending on incline and wind no problem for as long as you like. And I’ve never had any problems with wobble. Now, check your tire pressure it makes a huge difference! Im pretty the CMX500 does not have a speed limiter but it does have a rev limiter at 10,900. If I wanted too I bet I could get it going faster than 105mph by pining it in 5th or 4th to the rev limiter but you know… I do like the thing

[@raybrensike42]

I've heard some talk about a speed wobble, and a salesman I talked to today at an Indian dealership said that it's usually something that can happen to a few sport bikes that are light and powerful. I'm thinking of the early triple Kaw's. Later, they added some welded gusset to where the steering head meets the frame, and they also took some of the performance away in the later years of the triples. So, is it because the frames were too wimpy for the power or weight of the motor? I don't know. This raises a few questions. Is the frame of the 1100 exactly the same as the frame for the other Rebels? What are the differences? Anybody care to do some welding on the frame and report back their findings? lol.

[@bc3nt]

Got the Yamaha bolt to 114, no limiter. The bolt is a 942cc and almost like 550 lbs. so I'd think the rebel 1100 must go faster.

Try changing your head bearing to get rid of the wobble

[@Snoop_rico]

The shake is coming from uneven wing drag in the handlebars. (Your one mirror and phone mount) I'm 100% positive

[@bentgolden]

I get the same shake most times over 90mph bone stock front end. I think it has more to do with the wide front tire than anything.

[@ParzivalTrading]

Great video! Been waiting for someone to do something like this with the 1100. As for the speed wobble at higher speeds, I used to always get them when breaking over 90 but Ive noticed they don't really happen much after changing out my mirrors. Was cruising at 98 one day and didn't realize how stable the bike actually was. Since then Ive had no problems with wobbles even at 101 (which is where my bike starts to cut out) But I also don't have any bags on the back and my bike is completely stock other than a TBR exhaust, Mirrors and RAM mount (mounted sideways and lower than yours). I also did a test with my phone mounted on my RAM and still hardly any wobbles since. Looking forward to vids from you pertaining to the front suspension though!

[@TheForlornDreams]

Which mirrors did you get?

[@joelthemole3020]

Yea, I keep seeing stuff about the wobble and I don't get it. I have had my wifes just sitting on her 98/99mph limiter for a WHILE, and done some breaking from those speeds, and nothing even remotely bad happened, that thing felt stable as a rock. WAY more stable than either a Shadow 1100 or a 3rd Gen Magna at the same speeds. So if you are getting weird bike wobbles maybe return to stock and see if it still happens, and if not add back in one accessory at a time to see whats causing the issue.

[@larifari4371]

Did you check out the Power Commander already? There are some horses sleeping in the Rebel! Should easily be possible to get to over 100 horses just as the Africa Twin commands.

Over here in England mine shows 112 mph. But won't go past this in 5th or 6th. Your wobble is probably due to having just one mirror. I don't think I'd won't to go any faster. 120 + could be a bit sketchy. I've done 8,500 miles on mine I still love it 😀.

[@hudnora4164]

Aussie boi here. I'm pretty certain down under they are limited to 170kph which is about 105mph. I'll have to hire someone to test that and get back to you with the results 😎

[@marcelpursche5339]

Maybe the ECU has an additional fail-safe for the speed limiter. The RPM linearly corellates to to the speed in a given gear. So if the RPM climbs but the speed doesn't the ECU would know that something is wrong. Maybe thats why some pulls didn’t work as expected. Just a guess. Nethertheless, very amazing that you were achieve 110 mph on the Rebel 1100.

[@BrandonWest87]

Most modern transmissions have a TSS that provides a gearbox speed feed into the ECU, which is likely the signal that the speedohealer interrupts and sends the dummy 98mph in his video. The parameters that likely affected those 2 “off” pulls are the ECU attempting to speed govern based on TSS input reading just a hair faster and him getting governed. My guess is setting the speedohealer U threshold to 95 would solve it entirely. Good point Marcel 👍

[@marcelpursche5339]

@@BrandonWest87 Ah makes sense that the ECU would slowy decrease power before hitting the speed limit instead of making a hard power cut. A hard cut would be pretty dangerous to ride. The trusty old PID controller to the rescue! :)

[@tdralle115]

You may want to try lowering the "U" speed to 96 or 97, I'm wondering if the ecu limiter is actually 99 and the speedo healer didn't catch it in time. That could be why once or twice it seemed to max out at 98? May not help anything but could be worth a try. It shouldn't be a fueling issue, your fueling should be dictated by RPM regardless of gear, not the speedo. The only time you see any sort of gear specific tuning that I'm aware of is in high hp applications on something like a turbo fwd honda (they can't keep traction with full boost in first gear, or even second sometimes, so they limit boost by gear).

[@LifeOfBurch]

Yea that’s my thought as well! This week I’m planning to switch U to 95 and see what the outcome is. I tried going back and watching the footage to see if the speedo ever blipped from 98 to 99, but I didn’t see it happen. Of course that doesn’t mean that the bike didn’t somehow read 99 and cut power still. Anyway, doing the test at 95 should give some much clearer answers! 🤞🏻

Did you read and see the shaking? Why would you buy a brand new bike with issue that could kill you

[@JD-gn6du]

@@rubo1964 in a previous video he stated that he got a shake when he had his cell phone in the holder

Says these are out of stock. Anywhere else you can buy these ?

[@bikerbeliever8169]

That front end shake is crazy. I know this bike is faster than vulcan 650 but vulcan 650 don't shake like that and seen it hit speeds of 115 to 120mph.

[@joehnsn]

This is what I came to comment about. I have a vulcan s 650, and I can get to about 117 pretty quick, before my power runs out. I'm pretty surprised that an engine twice the size is struggling at 110.

[@bikerbeliever8169]

@@joehnsn I know right? The rebel 1100 is the quicker bike, has to be. But the vulcan 650 just punches so much higher than the the numbers suggest for some reason.

[@mimasaka0730]

My Rebel1100 DCT is a Taiwanese version, and the power has been reduced due to environmental regulations, but I have tried two-person riding, reaching 172km/hr. If I install this device, is it possible to increase the speed?

[@harleyearl3289]

Maybe mount the fairing to the frame, for better stability at speed.

[@lNerdzerkerl]

Is there a way that we can just remove the limiter?

[@kennyacosta4634]

Wasn't there another video on these rebels that showed why it had wobble over 90mph. I believe it was the substandard front tire

[@JoeBManco]

My thanks for your "random guy" testing the bike. Shame you gave it away at 13:10 that it was you.

[@baileyferguson1999]

Great video

[@sickofthis368]

Question, if the bike has a known "death" wobble in the front end at high speeds, and, imho, the bike is meant to just be a cruiser. Why put a thing like this on? Just curious. I would think if you wanna go fast, just get something that's designed for that purpose. Love the content!

[@rbrowning008]

If you get rid of the oem tires the wobble goes away. I stay pinned at 100 on the high way.

yo im thinking of getting my m license soon, what do you guys think is a good starter bike? i was looking at the Honda NAVI and TRAIL125 but what do you guys think?

[@AyaWetts]

both are very under powered things with low top speeds... you have to stay on slow streets. The Trail 125 is a fun bike if you never really want to do more than around 50mph (80kph), but I wouldn't want it to be an only bike. I really think the Rebel 300 is the most awesome starter bike. Low power, but decent speed and good gas mileage, very easy to ride.

[@LordReywer]

Cool video Burch, I like the simple explanation of what was going on! What you did is a clever way of bypassing the speed limiter. Although surprising that the mystery driver only managed to get an extra 10mph and even then it was iffy with the wobble... I've seen videos of people testing top speed of Rebel 500 and just managed to get it to 100 mph, strange that you get such a similar top speed considering that the engine for Rebel 500 is so much smaller than Rebel 1100. Any thoughts on that?

[@LifeOfBurch]

Although the Rebel 500 can get to 100mph, it’s hard to show through video truly how much more powerful the Rebel 1100 is up until that speed. Cruisers aren’t necessarily built for speed as much as they are torque, grunt, and bottom end. So even though their top speed isn’t that far off, I’m not kidding when I say that at 85mph when I’m cruising 2-up on the 1100, I still have FAR more passing power than I did at that same speed by myself on my 500. I think the wobble is just a byproduct of the geometry of cruisers in general, mixed with how light the Rebel 1100 is, and how much the weight is biased to the rear. You get that big front wheel spinning at that speed and it can get a mind of its own. Lots of cruisers have that issue, it’s just not as apparent on the 500 because the front wheel is so much smaller, the front tire is so much chunkier, and it lacks enough power at that speed to really transfer any weight to the rear. Some people have done away with the wobble simply by getting new tires, but I’d like to do a bit more to really make sure it’s stable. And then I’m sure with a tune the bike could reach a higher speed, but the stock tune and fueling really isn’t designed for more speed because Honda never intended it to pass 100mph. That’s my two…or three…cents on all of it! 😂

[@LordReywer]

@@LifeOfBurch Ohhh, that is a fair point. I didn't consider the "oompf" factor when commenting, my bad! I love my rebel 500, but as a holder of A2 licence, I didn't have a chance to test a bike with more displacement/HP/torque yet! I do hope to upgrade in the next 2 years, money permitting. Anyway, thanks for your input and I'll definitely tune in to your future videos as well!

@@LifeOfBurch plenty of cruisers that do faster than 100, this is a Rebel 1100 specific problem. I've done 130 on 2 different Honda cruisers, one being a Magna the other being a VTX1800 and they were stable the whole time. Rebel 1100 just being weird.

Does anybody know yet if the limiter is on all Rebels, or if it's just the US models? Do the Australia or UK version also have the limit?

[@thedarkinhell]

The EU version (Holland) has it too.

[@thfreakinacage]

@@thedarkinhell Sounds like it could be global then. Maybe they added it to cover the high speed instability.
