[MY06RSVR]

Just out of interest what have you guys set your red line/light at?

10,500 for me....means I catch a glimpse of it before the limiter kicks in...;)

[froggie]

10k, I prefer to see the light earlier otherwise you end up bouncing of the limiter in 5th!! Head on the tank, it;s good to see a flashing light on your way to the top!

[carbon kid]

mines at 9.5, considering my peak torque is at 7.5K
works for me

[froggie]

Might have guessed it what you. That person who made spend so much on my toy, the carbon addict!! Use it as a gear change light on the autobahn! It's that no speed limit sign I go :mad1

[advocatt]

10.5 on mine!

[Rsvr06]

11 for me as i dont like the flash lol

[V8-Powered]

10K for me - If I wanted to rev the nuts off a bike, I would have bought an IL4

[knotty]

i have mine set at 10.2k

[Mizarc]

:woohoo Mines at 10.75......I don't like seeing the light either

[TarkMalbot]

10.5 I think . It goes up to there when I turn the ignition on. Is that the indication fo where it is sat? I have only been on the bike with the partner on the back so have never reved that high yet!

You've raced 5 yearsand haven't had your bike reved that high yet........Get on it.....:thumbup

Only had the Mille a few weeks and never been for a blast on my own! I will get on to it though! Dont worry about that! I just looked into the manual about how to set it. Forgot again now but at least I know I can find it if I want to.

Factory setting is 6000?? Thats a bit lame!

6000....ha-ha. :jack

sounds like the good range is 9.5-10.5. But it seems at 9000 the engine is pulling super hard and still has alot more left. At least for me.

[knotty]

yeah even at 10.2 my bike is pulling hard !!!!

[apriliadreamer]

Mine is at 11k, I hate the light, but recently when I have been running it against my buddy's RC, I dont always shift quick enough and when I do go to shift, I am too late, and that damn light is flashing! LOL. Maybe I will lower it some to warn me sooner, or just learn to shift!

Yeah...I tend to do that too. My buddies have 2007 R1, 2006 CBR 1000rr, and 2007 GSXR 1000. They are a little hard to keep upto and shifting is critical


:wheelie

:wheelie

you are absolutely correct RE critical shifting needed .
But do it right and you have the legs on the bikes mentioned at least up to 160, plus roll on torque leaves them all for dust while they scrabble to chnage down:biggrin

[TarkMalbot]

Just had a blast on mine yesterday and I htink mine is set at about 10250. That or the needle was lagging a little..

[rs3 mille]

6000rpm factory setting for running in.... best way to set light is to do a dyno run and look at the power curve. alot of milles are doing fok all at the top end(apart from sounding good~)so you are losing valuable seconds and time when giving it the gee gees but this is all dependent on what you have done to your bike and should be set just below peek power .....:thumbup

[TarkMalbot]

I dont have time to be looking at the clocks when I am riding hard anyway so I usually go by how the bike feels.

[rs3 mille]

you right mark you should know your own bike- but if your light is set correctly you have maximum benefit and power.. inexperienced riders would gain nothing on the top end but think they are shifting and getting power but going off the power curve..:biggrin

your right funners the new milles rev freely the older ones are more torquey bottom end and peak earlier..........(unless you have 1000more revs and peaks nearer 11,ye ha):thumbup

[Twoddler]

Went out with the lads today zx9, R1, fireblade, gixxer etc 8 of us in total went up to Hawes (yorkshire) I ,m new to Vtwins more used to jap 4s recently selling my fireblade. I have set my light to 9500 thinking this is peek power on my 02 mille. But I,ve still got the demon (I must rev the bollocks off it to get it to go fast) and keep hitting the limiter and almost binning the thing. I don,t usually look at the clocks when riding out with the mates, but I guess I am gonna hav too, at least until I get used to the exhaust tone and change gear early.........................

[carbon kid]

ride thar torque, find out wheres its at a stick to it!!
Roll on is really impressive for a bike with (02) nearly 40bhp deficit.
lots of fun between..oh standstill and bout 150, leaves everything else for dead(with the right gearing). more fun then those pesy topended IL4's!!

[sharky]

got mine set at 11 thou need to sqeeze every possible rev out of it to carry my relaxed muscle around the stomach area ha ha.

[Minty__UK]

I've gone for 10,250 on mine !! But, I usually change when I "feel" that I need to !!

[Jupso88]

Mine is set to 10,4

[Jim]

got mine set at 10.5 k, gonna have a look at the dyno graphs that came with the power commander and set it differently accordingly

[Badger]

Jim, probably 10250 for your model

yeah, just looked at dyno graphs, that seems about right. thanks badger
