    I thought that's why God invented "rev limiters".

    The smart individual knows what the redline is for. With that knowledge, rev limiters are not needed. hehe

    A rev limiter on a four stroke is when the valves float and on a two stroke when it starts to spit and sputter, We don't need no stinkin' tach, rev the bitch till she don't make any more power then shift, that is how I have always done it.
