Yes. Others have tested it.....sort of.

I thought I was going to but couldn't bear to push the engine that far. It sounded too "unhappy" before it got to that point.

Do a search here for "limiter" or "rev limiter".
That term is unique enough that there shouldn't be TOO many hits.

P.S. The rev limiter is a safety feature and not a recommended top operating speed for the engine. We've had one or two riders here that treated the rev limiter as a shift indicator and their engines didn't last too long. :skull:

Thanks Easy Rider...this was something my dad wanted me to look into. I want to improve my shifting skills and do the least amount of damage to the engine as I'm learning to ride.
Thanks again!

Use the clutch and don't peg the throttle.
