Hello I am new here and do not currently own a RSV....but am looking to buy one. Do the 1999-2010 RSV have a rev limiter? I thought that you could only get a rev limiter on a fuel injected bike. I guess if the limiter is hooked to the ignition then it is possible. Please let me know about this.....It would save me alot of money not having to buy a 250.00 tach set-up. Thank you....Bret Holland -
I installed a new tach to the bike today and it works. Simple and easy installation. VERY simple.. Bike idles at 1,000 rpm and it's fun to watch it wind up into the 6,000 range when dropping the hammer.. I couldn't see where the rev limiter was kicking in as I was too busy watching the road BTW, where DOES the rev limiter kick in and what's red line on this engine? Being old air force, I'd be putting VnE and VnR markers on the gauge hehe.. All I need now is to make a bracket that brings it up and twists forward to align it properly, or I might just leave it as is since I would be using it for reference only anyway..

Hey guys, on my 06 Midnight, I did a bunch of maintenance on it this week that the ol' girl is a teenager again.. full of spirit and light on her feet.. The ONE thing I could never do with this bike is reach the rev limiter when accelerating onto the highway as the engine sounds like it might truly kill itself.. no joke.. I'm almost wondering if the previous owner disabled it somehow.. Yesterday was a a fun day after installing leveling links, flushing hydraulic clutch fluids, tightening the steering head, etc etc.. that I pushed the bike super hard to get a feel of the bike anew again.. no kidding it's like having a new bike.. wow. When accelerating hard and fast yesterday, I tried to reach the rev limiter to see and feel where it was, I was bound and determined to feel the 'tripping of the engine' that indicates the rev limiter kicking in.. but a quick glance to the speedo I spotting the engine oil light coming on and go off as I shifter, though never having reached the rev limiter.. Having just done an oil change, I wondered if I was low, but the fluid level in the sight glass shows half up the glass.. Is the sensation of the rev limiter kicking in on the Venture as noticeable as on the VStar for example? Does your oil light come on when YOU hit the rev limiter.. Is there something else I should be checking as well ? What speeds does your rev limiter kick in when in first gear? My biggest fear is blowing the engine because the previous owner had disengaged the rev limiter and forgot to tell me.. ya know? Wind speed and BUGS.. wooo hoooo

In another thread, I had asked if the 1st gens had a rev limiter, but didn't get a responseyet. Since I am hearing how fast they must be (never ridden one myself...yet), I was wondering if any of them through the model years had rev limiters. Just wondering if you folks that have them are able to "spin 'em up" a bit more than our 2nd gens, which do have limiters. Thanks.

My youngest (VenturePirate) turned 10 this weekend and I turned 50. Geeze I'm getting old. A little basic training in the soft grass at the camp had him making laps around the track in no time. Wish they had machines like this when I was a kid. A nice feature I turned down the throttle limiter to it's slowest setting until skill level improves. Now to get fitted for a helmet and riding gear.

Has anyone with a 2nd gen or RS hit the rev limiter in 4th or 5th gear? Just wondering. Rod
