Brilliant deduction Watson. Your seems to have picked up what everyone else missed. And of course the usual 7% discrepancy most bikes are famous for.

Thanks. Anytime.
No sense in worrying about things that are so insignificant as to be almost useless, except if you like to worry.

thanks for the enlightenment....the root of all of this is my question about being able to run at 7000 rpm for a long period of time without having the engine come apart. the way i understand it 6500 rpm is the sweet spot and running at higher rpm for long periods will shorten the engine life. am i out in left field on this as well ??

thanks

ride safe

You are right,6500 is the sweet spot.

:cool:

7000 rpm for a while won't kill your engine, but just remember, wear on everything, every type of motor increases with rpm and load and the total revs the engine has done.
With proper maintenance, oil changes, valve adjustments, etc, your bike will be fine, But any bike run at 55 will outlast any other run at 75, all other factors being equal. Go by how your bike feels and sounds, don't try to kill it.
