11,000rpm+ - Page 2

I did some speed runs this weekend... At one point I was running flat out at 12,000 rpms for about 3miles, and the speedo was reading 110mph... That was all the power I could squeeze out of her... The wind speed was about 5mph and calm...

When I look at the gps it was reading 98.9mph top speed...(fast enough for me)

When does the rev limiter kick in?? I have a 2006 ZZR 250 that redlines at 13000 but it pushes past that 13000. I lost my nerve at about 13500ish... maybe 14000...

The bike would not go to 13k rpm... (I tried)

It ran easy just past 12k rpm... I'm 185- 190lbs in full gear...

YASKo, when your ready to go up on one, rev the lady up to 9krpm with the clutch pulled in then drop the clutch while giving some gas. Keep your right foot over the brake pedal. When you want to come back down, tap the rear brak gently.
