What is a safe rev limiter setting ? '03 103 rk.
TIA,
Pop

 

What do you mean by safe? Are you planning to use that as the sh8ft notification? Unless you heavily modify your bike, stock bikes run out of breath far before the stock rev limiter RPM.

 

The sky is the limit

 

Recommended rev limits and shift points for TC and M8.
6200 for touring builds with torque cams.
6500 for light bike builds with mid-high HP cams.

PS - These are safety limits NOT shift points which should be approx 500 below rev limit.
So shifting at 5500 for touring bikes and 6000 for light bikes should be best for acceleration rates.

 

Ok, my bad. I should have given all the info. I knew better, thought it was a generic safe question.
'03 se road king, 103+.020", heavy breather, cr-575 cams Don D. Blueprint port, s&s powertune duals, Jones full boar slipons, tts mastertune/blue dongle. 107hp, 128 tq. When it was tuned, the tuner set rev limiter to 6400 rpms. I normally shift below 5k. Occasionally I go to 6k, but no more. Do I need to drop it down to 6200 ?

 

If you never shift above 6k you can just leave the setting where it is, just in case. You can lower it to 6200 if it makes you feel better.

 

Rev limiters are for engine protection not shift points.

Ok, I've not hit the rev limiter. I have a tach for shift reference when needed. I have the brake sensor. If I'm not going too fast, it's just a squeeze or tap. It for some reason seems to get vocal, the faster I go

 

6k would probably be best, i set them up on the dyno, when the bike stops making horsepower, that's where i set the limiter, no sense revving past the limit when no more power is being made. if you don't hit it, great, but it's there if you need it.
