I'm asking because I just purchased a 2012 ninja 250 with 800 miles. After break in I took it on the interstate.

In sixth gear:

60mph is 9,000
70mph is 10,500
80mph is 12,000

Yes, 80 is just under redline!

That seems too high and I can't figure out why. Sprockets are stock, I'm pretty sure.
Your clutch is slipping and heating up the oil too much.
