Rev Limiter?

[Hewhois]

Does the '05 ST1300 have a rev limiter? I hit the throttle pretty hard pulling into traffic and noticed I got up to about 8500-9k rpm before shifting into 2nd. The 1150RT had a rev limiter right at the red line, where is the limiter set on the ST1300? Usually I shift way sooner, but it got me wondering.

Mine bumps the limiter at 9K. It juST goes flat...No STumble or STutter.

I throttled gradually up to the limiter one time to see where it was.
I hit it in advertently once while showing a cage my tailights up a long fwy onramp.."why won't she go? oops!"
So smooth that it fooled me.

Good to know, thanks!

They come in at about 9K as Dond said. It feels like the ignition is cut in a cylinder or two. I was play racing my buddy on his V65 sabre and found out how fast it gets to redline when the adrenaline is working.

I believe it is built into the ECM module. My old GL1800 was set at 200 rpm over redline. I hit it on my ST1300 but didn't look down in time to see the rpms. The bike didn't nosedive is just flatlined.

How much faster was the Sabre? I had one for many years, it seams faster than the ST. It also had 10,500 RPM rev. limiter.

To be honest, I don't know. We were in a 45 MPH zone and he backed off at about 75. I had fallen behind a few feet because of not watching my tach and losing power with the rev limiter but for the two gears we used they seemed pretty equal. I have ridden his sabre quite a bit and it sure FEELS quicker. It puts out the same HP but weighs about 100 lbs less. I'm sure we'll try it again where we can open things up a bit.

Thanks David for the response.
