Tips on shift points anyone?

I can't believe I haven't hit the rev limiter on this thing, an 09 Venox does have a rev limiter, right? 

I was wondering how high I can rev these gears without red-lining, I thought you guys might know how fast I can go in each gear. 

Right now, when I'm trying to accelerate quickly, I take 3rd gear up to 40mph, and I take 4th gear up to 60mph. 

This is about as high as I want to go, it feels like Im at the end of these gears, is this deceptive?  Could I be taking these gears further?

hey buddy me too, never hit the limiter. but i mean if only you had a rev gauge then you will really know when or about when it hits or even if there is a limiter. as far as i know the manual does not say anything but i believe i have heard somewhere that there is. By the way your gearing sounds right on and cranking it pretty high on every gear.

Yea, some guy in another area on this forum said the Venox does have a rev limiter.  I'm gonna get a tachometer.  So I'm guessing if I take it up to 90 that would be close to the redline, and I can just use 5th gear as a template as to how far I can wrap up each gear? 

90mph is the fastest I can get that thing to go, I only weigh 163 so I'm guessing that's about the bikes top speed.  Not positive but I think official track times are done with a 145 lb rider.

All CDI equipped vehicles (OEM) have limiters to protect the engine... It's a basic feature...

  90 mph ?? That must have been laying flat over the tank, going down hill with the wind fair up yer clacker. It's a 250 cruiser ... maybe you should have bought a bigger bike ol mate. And yes, it does have a rev limiter.. about 10000 rpm.

lol. Yes, that's right.  Sometimes it will only get up to 80mph on the highway, and sometimes on hilly country roads it only wants to go 70mph.  But I actually bought it because I had no self control on my crotch rocket.  I didn't want to give up riding cause it's so much fun, but couldn't trust myself on anything fast, so I bought the Venox.  Saved my life and money on gas!
