Not sure on the limiter, never heard anyone speak of one. Chances are you would know by now if the bike was not fine. ---------------------------------- South Central Area Director Email scad@cog-online.org

No rev limiter on the C-10 as far as I know. 23 year old technology there.

I think I have read that the rev limiter shuts you down at around 10,800 rpm's. I know that my 86 1000R Ninja has a rev limiter and that has pretty much the same engine.

I have pushed my 06 to 11k before she electronically slowed herself. So at least on mine, I found a rev limiter.

There is no documentation that I know of confirming nor denying the existance of a rev limiter on the Concours. Even with 1982 technology (the actual birth date of this engine) a rev limiter is somewhat easy to do on a transistorized ignition. None of the slick magazines, even the more technically oriented ones, mention a rev limiter, yet some of our membership claim it exists based on their experience. Maybe it does, maybe they are just reaching the RPM where the valves get in the way and the bike runs out of breath. How about we get five C10's together so we can rev ths not out of them in varying circumstances to find out. Volunteers, anyone? OK, I am kidding. If someone does have conclusive evidence (other than running out of oomph at 11 grand) of a rev limiter please let us know.
