Hitting Rev Limiter

[vxcalais_01]

THe only thing is cleans out is your pocket and engine internals as has happened to the previous who mentioned it........ then at the same time, out of curiosity doesnt the limiter protect it from over revving so it shouldnt be doing damage but preventing it ??? Yet it seems to things like valve bounce etc which i believe i have done before...

i rev mine to 6500rpm+ every now and then. doesnt seem to hurt it too much.

I won't even rev my Blender to 6500RPM!!!

i hit the limiter about once every couple months from holding 2nd right out..

just as it pops click 3rd..

hasnt hurt it so far.. its there for a reason.. if it couldnt handle revving that high it would be set lower!

Correct me if I am wrong.. Because of the electronic's in the VT Automatic's it's basically impossible to redline the gearbox?

I know my VN used to always hit the limiter manual shifting the auto box...

Just my 2cents...

Best things to clear out crap build up...

1. Premium fuel
2. Carby cleaner...
3. Pump a litre of meth into your petrol tank every now and again..

Its also good to hit a brick wall once a month too. It gets rid of the build up of mud and road grim from under your front end lol
