Technically, I could've voted never b/c I don't redline simply b/c it's pointless when power peaks at 5800rpm.  But I voted "a few times a week" for shifting at 6000-6500. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I don't really "redline" per say, but I usually shift between 6 and 65 grand on a daily basis.

240sxtreme · 06-20-2002, 12:17 AM

like the others stated...it's pretty much useless to redline...and very bad on the KA. highest I try to take it is 6500.....and I'm really thinking I should be shifting right over 6-6200.

oh BTW guidot...just wanted to throw out....the CA and RB rev high. so I'm thinking the redline might actually be good...although, I'm talking out my ass and have never seen a dyno chart of a CA or RB...I just know they rev high...and people who've driven, ridden say the power band goes up there.(of course, still better then a honda) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Got no more power after 6k on a SR so no need to get all crazy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

MarketPlayer · 07-06-2002, 08:33 AM

I really want to see a side by side comparison between two exact engines.  One will vary from 1Krpms to 4Krpms, and the other should vary from 1Krpms to 6.5Krpms.  I really want to see if reving higher everyonce in a while will clean out the engine more and keep it running smoother?

So yeah, i redline completely about once a month due to doing too many things at once, and go to 6500 rpms about once a day! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
