if you are doing some spirited riding where do you normally shift at? I have shifted at 11.5 here and there and from a few different people I have heard thats too high? I know the tach goes to 13.5ish, so I assumed I was okay. Another question I had was do our f3s have a rev limiter?

 

yes they have rev limiters

 

i have shifted that high and higher on occasion when iget on it really hard but i may be killing it with out knowing.

good luck as everyone has their own oppinion on what you should do and when you should shift

 

indeed. That is what im discovering too, and I was just trying to get the overall thoughts from everyone. I probably wont shift it that high anymore and just keep it around 10k, because Its gots 39k on it, and I don't feel like building a motor right at the moment.

 

If I'm pushing I'll shift at MOST around 500 under redline, I NEVER go into the red though

 

of course not, thats asking for trouble. I assumed that the bike would handle taking it to 12k, but I wanted to see what the general consensus was on running it that high. I have had a few people tell me they never go over 10k. My bike doesnt seem to pull really hard untill i hit 10-11.5k.
