i havent really pushed the rpms on my bike to redline (13k) and im curious as to how its setup.
is there a rev limiter? is it set to the begginning, middle, or end of redline(or what rpm)?
does it shut off fuel with the ignition, or is it just like a normal limiter?
is it like that nasty bikegonnablow burnout "whaapwhaaaaapwhaaaaapwhaaaaaaap" sound like those supercool stunters pull when they get bored.
thanks for enlightenment.

 

I only hit it once to see, and if I remember, it kicks in right at redline. I believe it cuts spark and fuel.

 

Mine does the same

 

I am bouncing off the rev limiter once or twice a day. I only have 4,300 miles.

yes, it's like a normal rev limiter. "wwwhhaaabbaabbbaabbabbbabba". It wll stay there if you hold the throttle .

Don't be afraid to redline your bike. from factory, rev limiters are very conservative. The engine can take more.

 

could someone please post a video of them bouncing their bike off the rev limiter? Please!!

 

better to load the engine with a good burnout as well[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

 

I have a video of my bike holding at 13,700rpm, but not actually bouncing off the rev limiter.

 

Yea, I know that sound. I love doing that. With a d*d pipe is sounds like the bike will explode. WWWWWWWAAAHHBBBABABBABBAAAA poophffff

 

My redline is at 14,250. Rev limiter is a bit higher. I was on it a couple of times at the track. Didn't notice except to notice that I wasn't getting any more acceleration. I does sound different though. You can actually feel it cut in/out/in/out. Doesn't disturb the chassis, it's that gentle.

Did Honda move the redline down on the newer bikes?

 

Hit it many a time.

I always feel pretty stupid afterwards.
