I was wondering as the Savage has no Tach if the CDI module has a rev limiter built into it or do I need to worry about over revving the engine and blowing it up?

I don't think it has a rev limiter, and I read somewhere here that you can't "blow it up" over reving it.

Unless you got some performance upgrades...
winding it out in too low or out of gear...
going downhill...
with a tailwind...
can't be done.

you loose power at the higher rpm's
most people complain about it being freaking buzzy at 75
you'll be doing a ton to hit red line.  
I think you'll back off before then.

no limiter...  not enough power to hit redline in top gear...

You might be able to blow it up in neutral,... if you want to...

... but, I expect valves might just float before you got there... (I ain't gonna' try it, just to find out) Huh...

On my speedometer at an indicated 95mph it does 6,500 rpm on my tachometer. It can't do it every day and not everywhere, but on that nice flat long piece of smooth concrete superslab I use for test runs on a day when it's nice and warm and no wind. Like I said, the conditions have to be right.
In second gear I once managed to get it to 6,700 rpm briefly which was a a little over 55 mph. But it's pointless to go that far on a stock motor, as it just struggles then. It is better to shift just a little over 6,000 rpm when in a hurry.

Thanks for the answers. Sounds like one less thing to worry about

It is one of those mini tachs. I think it's the same one Ryca uses.
