Title: redlines
Post by BurnPgh on 05/23/08 at 15:20:49

On my rebel there were literally "red lines" along the speedo to show redline speeds with the lack of a tach. Anyone know the redline speeds in the various gears on the savage? I shift well before redline but it'd still be nice info to have. Nice to know how far I can push it safely. I searched and found various references to redlining but not to actual redline speed.

manual says: 1 to 2: 12mps, 2 to 3: 19. 3 to 4: 25, 4 to top: 31....top back down to four at 19mph

those are recommended shift points for either break in or economy. I want to know how fast I can go in each respective gear without damaging the engine.

The bike will make you want to shift before you get it wound out to the point of danger of damage. Its no fun after it stops pulling in first & second & third & fourth. Why would anyone not shift? The torque drops off long before the red line.

I got my redlight set at 5500 so I'm sure not to hit it.

7? mph in 4th
84 mph in 5th

I'm a little to busy to notice the others. And yeah, it's pulling up to that point, but dropping off quick. ;D
