So did the on board computer cut off the fuel at 140MPH?

Like they said, first check the tire pressue, then either lower or get a firmer shock (coilover will do both).

Slk.....he stated 140 km / hr, that is like 90 mph....you may want to get 18 inch rims, with the 245 40 18 tires....Mine feels very stable at that speed...
