This may be a dumb question, but what is the highest RPM a 610 can safely put out (without damaging the engine)? Since completing the break in I haven't taken my 610 past 6000 RPMs, and am not sure how much is too much. thanks
When I ride the canyon in SM mode I bounce off the rev limiter from time to time and that's right around 8000 rpm.I wish there was more but I do spend a lot of time between 5000-7000 rpm and that is not a problem it's just where the fun factor is!
Book says 8250, but my limiter kicks in at 8000. Most of my road time is 4200 to 5100 with 14T sprocket on. Rarely get above 6K except jack rabbit starts :-). Lug it a lot on nasty single track, I like to keep traction and not spin.
I have never hit the rev limiter on my 2001 even when getting neutral by accident. I am beginning to think that it doesn't have one.
