just wondering if im beating the hell out of this thing by maintaing that RMP for prolong periods or if its just fine in that range?

 

I've run mine at 8.5k+ for a constant 45 minutes on numerous ocassions (ocassional I-95 commute to work) just don't get close to that muzzy header .....2+ years of beating the snot out of it with almost 8k miles mostly in high reving sand....and she still sounds like a sewing machine.

 

cool so that means i can go faster lol

 

My opinion is, if it can't do highway speeds and better for a prolonged period of time they wouldn't sell it as a street legal bike.

 

Haha, red-lining it for about 3 minutes every lap and jumping doubles for about and hr is beating it. (not that I would ever do such a thing)

 

lol so how high can i rev this thing with no worries?

 

It has a rev limiter. It will drop down like 3k once it hits it. So don't really worry about over-revving it. But if your gonna run it high like me you must change and check the oil a lot. But don't listen to me, I'm sure someone is going to scold me[8D]

 

Who could scold ya...my 8.5k post was a constant for 40+minutes.....short term riding in sand I know I go way higher and I try to shift gears quick enough to avoid the rev limiter....sometimes with sucess....others not so much..lol.

But sheet, its a street legal $3k dirt bike....I'm going to flog it like a red headed stepchild.

 

Haha, no wonder I always seem to agree with you Finger

 

I RUN THIS ALL ALL DAY LONG 8000 rpm in the street if it brakes i will fix it.
