Stock limiter set to 12800?

[Ninja H2SX]

I just listened to this French review and the reviewer says that Kawasaki guarantees that the bike can reach 299 KMH with a passenger and luggage.

I bet the passenger will be thrilled ... literally.

i wanted to ask whats top speed for the panniers.. if its 299 that would be sweet. (not that i need that speed, but i may reach 200 and dont want them flying off the bike)

Kawasaki says the paniers are "autobahn approved"

[ghostwriter78]

yes, saw a german review, so far the best worldwide but sadly no translation. he asked kawasaki and they confirmed panniers and pillion approved at 299 kph.

Tachometers always read optimistic, just like speedometers

I bet its set closer to 12,300, ill be able to see the real number on the dyno.

I only ever raise a limiter if the power is still climbing or even still pretty flat, not much use if the bike falls on its face 500 rpm before redline

im guessing the h2sx will pull strong right up and into redline

Sorry for a possibly silly question but Dyno only after break in period, right?

Yeah, best to wait for a dyno run until it's broken is some. Might not have to wait the full 1000 miles, but I'd give it at least 400~500 miles of good break-in running first.

It's a matter of personal preference. There's no real data either way that show the difference in following the break in cycle or just going all out. Google how to break in a motorcycle and you'll see all kinds of opinions on it. Or call a performance shop and ask whay they think of dyno break in procedures.

[vcyclenut]

Ill ride it home change the oil, put it through several heat cycles and dyno it

what do you think happens different after 1000 miles then say 100?

This video shows just over 13,000 RPM. Not sure if the rev limiter is kicking in or if he just shifts at the right moment.

Also, this looks like an overall really informative video, I just don't speak French.
