In 1st gear the tacho hit about 6500rpm and there was a breif cut in the ignition
Rev limiter in 1st is lower than in other gears!I was surprised as well, it was cutting before going into red, but only in 1st. It's by design.
Easy to find out, accelerate more slowly and see if the tacho gets to the red line or not. It won't hurt the bike even if it seems painful
Unless you know that for certain and can provide the source it’s far more likely the rev counter needle damping just means it doesn’t get to read to redline in first before the ignition cutout occurs. It’s not a superbike there is no rational reason to vary the rev limiter by gear.
I mentioned this as the probable reason in the second post.Ciao
