Does the 86 vfr700 have a rev limiter on it.

I've never been over 10500, does the 86vfr have a rev-limiter on it? Love the mid range 3500-7000.

 

I have redlined mine at the max 11500-12000.. no rev limiter here..all though it will start "missing" when I redline

 

Yes, she does, at 11, 500 she will go no more.

 

Been bouncing mine off the limiter for 24 years......you wont hurt it.

 

Good to know, thanks guys.

 

But those multiple-lane highway onramps get a little exciting when you hit the limiter in first (and second...). Bit more pucker than I like in the mornings on the way into work. But if you shift just before it's going to kick in... MMMmmmm music.

 

oh itll go further than 11,500, but i dont know that you want to make a habit of it. and crusty, that "miss" you feel at redline is the rev limiter, which kicks in right around 12k. i've gotten a little heavy handed with the old girl a few times and itll scoot right last 11,5....tho by the time i get it there, its tearing ass and really wanting to upshift....by the time i hit that 12k rev limiter, its just unhappy with me
