Newbie question how do i set rev or shiftlite

WHat do you all have it set to? I put mine to 7000 recently. I think default is 7500 but by then it's probably too late and the limiter kicks in. Am I wrong about this?

Yeah I did the same... By the time you see that light blinking in the corner of your eye you don't have much time when it's set at 7500. I changed mine to 7000 and I like it there. But then again, I hardly take it all the way up to 7000 except getting on highways.

I did the same with setting it to 7000 rpm. just like what you guys said, once you notice it, its almost too late ha.

7000 RPM's is the best setting in my opinion. As previuosly stated at 7500 it is too late, and any earlier and it is just annoying.

Odd. I don't remember ever changing mine but looking at a video where I am accelerating it activated just after I got past 7000 RPM (like 7100 RPM) so I would guess it was set to 7000 and no 7500. Odd!

I set mine at 2500 RPMs, so it feels like I'm red-lining in city traffic.

I set mine for 7300 rpm because it blinks from 6800-7300 and then goes solid once you hit the set limit. That gives me plenty of time to know I need to shift.
