Pulls hard for me as long as I dare hold the gear, which has accidentally put my needle in the red once or twice. Thankfully, I have not found this alleged limiter. Does it hold fast at the limited RPM, or cut spark?
The bike makes max hp at about 9800 rpm, and gradually falls off from there. From 9800 to the rev limiter, you lose about 8-9 hp from your max output. This is per dyno runs on a stock FZ6R.

A different but related question here...What would the RPM be 70mph, 75mph & 80mph?
I'm still deciding if I should get this Bike (2009/2010FZ6R) or the Kawasaki 650R or just get the V-Strom DL 650. Mainly Touring and Cruising on long trips...Freeways, Highways and bi-ways, no more dirt or fire roads for me...just asphalt

Does the old bouncy bounce.... cuts it out and then immediately cuts it back in... very bad in turns.... that was the first time I hit it... made the bike buck like a mad bull... fortunately I was merging into traffic, so didn't have it leaned too far... still scary stuff.

I bet. Exactly why I joined this forum: I don't have to make ALL the mistakes myself ;P
yeah, but in a full pull from stop to go.... 9800 to 12000ish happens in a blink of an eye... unless you have a shift light... it's going to be hard to see it.
My normal riding, I shift 6-8k.... when traffic is bad and I have to get in... that's when I hit (try to hit)10-11k ('cause like you said, 9800 is the real point we want)

actually the rev limiter does not "cut in" as this bike is equipped with a "soft limiter" which is more of a suggestion to shift, I got into a spot and had to go but i was leaning hard with gusty cross winds and was scared to shift, i had mine to 12 700 rpm"ish" as i didnt have time to look but the needle was almost burried, and when i shifted it only dropped to the start of the redline and no i didnt hurt the bike any, well to my knowledge so far anyway.
OK, so not the rev limiter... but really really close.... I'll have to see if I have one.

note: I always cover my speed... even if I'm under the limit (or just a few mph above)... habits! I left the tach in here.

Congrats, and enjoy the bike, Whatever. I assume you're coming from the 250 Ninja. Should be a nice upgrade.
Don't mean to be your mom, but please be careful until the tires are scrubbed in.
There have been some interesting discussions on how to break in the engine. Most people say do it as per the manual, which means staying below 60 mph I believe. Others say run it hard all the way to redline. I went with the manual guidelines. It was just incredible finally breaking in the bike and changing the oil. Now I regularly use all 66 hp of the bike.
Honestly for me it was the fact that the FZ6R is a in-line 4 and therefore it will run smoother than a verticle twin(Ninja 650 R) or a V-Twin (V-strom 650).
Glad to oblige (and to prove a point about video's, take them for what they're worth)! I was trying to get a shot of the rev limiter kicking in... didn't quite hit it.... but does show that it doesn't kick in right at the redline and from a previous post, of how quick it goes from 9800k to 12k. I had also just done this for myself to see where I was shifting when getting into traffic quickly... really could have been a 5 second video, because I get up to highway speed, then settle down.Gee, knock the R1 TBR exhaust vid.... and then post a 9 sec. vid of your tach?
Now that IS impressive.
knock an R1 exhaust? like I said... without a BEFORE, and AFTER video/sound clip, it isn't much good.... not knocking an R1 exhaust, but the video.... because R1's I've heard IRL.

well the bike now has 900 and something miles, and i have tasted 8000/8500 and the bike is pretty fast. the vibes i don't noticed as much anymore.
tonight i will go over the 1000 mile mark.. so i will drop the oil again tomorow and see how the bike pulls at full speed .
i want to see at what rpm the bike cruises at 80 mph on the highway. if i am going 80 what speed is the bike really doing with the correction on the speedo.

Enjoy! Don't let it bite you... and once you find it... you'll want to hit it every time you take off!
Probably about 75mph when the speedometer shows 80mph
