rod Posted August 31, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2006 Has anyone with a 2nd gen or RS hit the rev limiter in 4th or 5th gear? Just wondering. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted August 31, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 31, 2006 Last year I think it was in 4th. 5th is to high for the stock engine. Out by Travis AFB theres a couple of good flat-straight strecthes.Speedo was burried if I remember right, But was not really looking at the speedo. Kept looking for coyotes and watching the broken white lines that were now a singleline:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 31, 2006 Ya Buddy know what you mean. I have tried 2 times in 4th and ran out of clear road. Seat of the pants told me it would get there in 4th if I had more room but 5th no way. Thanks Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted August 31, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 31, 2006 No more rev limiter for me either...I too have the Dyna. That being said though, I had never hit it in 4th or 5th and in fact, these bikes will run faster in 4th. I've had it as fast as it would go in 5th...kicked it down to 4th and got more speed.

rod Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 31, 2006 I agree Don. I maxed out in 5th and down shifted and buried the needle in 4th. At the time I had the room to give it it's all but shifting to 5th was a mistake. Live and learn Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r12guy Posted September 1, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 1, 2006 Oh goodie, now i have something to try..... So it will go faster in 4th then in 5th.... I know when I am on a highway, i will run in 5th and try to stay in 5th as long as i can, but find 4th to be real good when cruising along and need power. Since May all i have on her is 1900 miles, I hope to put some road under her next week when i take her to the blue ridge and WV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now I am sure if you were to get it in fourth and hit the rev limiter you will be putting some miles on in a hurry. Maybe not thousands but the miles will add up fast.
