Rev limiter

Post by Maxnam376 »

I have a 2023 rt. Just curious if normal. When twist throttle full rpm's seems to get to about 85 to 8800 and labor there instead of going up to Rev limiter.

I have a 23 model GS and from what I've read BMW have done something in the ecu to stop people pulling the clutch on and revving the nuts out of the engine, I think mine his some sort of limiter at around 6k while coasting with the clutch pulled on. The end of the line for tunnel symphonies :(
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

When I got my 17RT, I had to reset my limiter at @3k miles using a GS911. I have yet to see a notification to make that change. :(
It must be part of the 600 or 1200-mile inspection? Obviously mine got overlooked :o

Is this in gear and under load accelerating or revving in neutral/coasting? I'm assuming the engine is warmed up too:-) Peter

Mine hit the limiter if I hang on too long, it's like braking (2022) :oops:
