Yes I have a tac, and it redlines at 14,500 rpms. Needless to say, I’ve never come close to that. When the bike appears to over-rev without much apparent acceleration, I quickly shift to the next higher gear. It sounds like I need to adjust to riding at higher rpms in a lower gear. Although my neighbors might appreciate a little less noise The owner’s manual only mentions speed, not rpms, as the guide to shifting gears.
