God knows but what gixer you ride? They dont redline till 13500 (well mine dont) so never thought about it…
Welcome to the forum anyhows…LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vacuum in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, there goes another engine!
12,000 shouldn’t trouble any GSXR in 5th or 6th gear.
Welcome to the forum BTW. Quite a bit of GSX-R stuff on here.
Donate – Or Imperial Data will have you sorted!mine also redlines at 13500(on the clock, never had it that high though) but seems to stop performing at just under 13. that’s why i asked the question as i tried to get the most out of fifth that i could and just wanted to check this wouldn’t cause more wear and tear than what holding it flat out in sixth would? it’s my second 600 carb, this one is in corona colours, had a 750 before them. whats yours?

Most modern engines are engineered with a fair safety margin. So your bike will be designed to take considerably higher revs than the red line, or rev limiter will allow.
In this way the manufacturer can ensure reasonable reliability most of the time!

12000 revs per minute is 12000 revs irrespective of your gear, but in 6th you should be travelling faster at 12000 than when in 5th.

Hiya Gixer, welcome to TBF, enjoy the ride!
I’m not riding fast, I’m just flying low. and please DONATE to this website
I agree with Scouser.. doesnt matter what gear you’re in, the engine is still rotating and making bangs 12000 times per minute, the gear is only changing the ratio so varying your speed. Obviously not recommended in first gear as the engine will very quickly over rev.
Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!
This could get confusing….

less….
you will obviously be travelling at a lower speed at 12000 in 5th than 6th
therefore wind resistance will be less
so the engine has an easier time of it…
so by that theory, if you want to ride at 12000 rpm and save engine wear – ride in first………
