Iv been having a friendly argument with a mate with regards to hitting the Rev limiter. He’s adamant that doing so will cause the engine to explode or summit whereas I’m more inclined to think it’s there to stop the engine revving to the point of damaging itself.
Whilst Iv never been one to ride to the point of hitting the limiter on a regular basis there are times that it does happen.
I just can’t see the point of having a rev limit that will still cause damage if you reach it.
So opinions on who’s right me or him, or both.
