Ok i'll admit it, I was being a plonker......I decided tonight to really give my M796 some gas, second gear, went to overtake, dialed in the revs and glanced down when it was near 7k rpms...thought fine, still got some ways to go..focus on the road ahead. BAM!  ...I had no idea this bike had such a low rev ceiling! Seriously, what was Ducati thinking. I read about the lights flashing to indicate you need to shift, but to suddenly flash and a millisecond later have the engine decide it almost wants to go in reverse...ouch! So for anyone else not yet experienced the ball busting wonder of an over-revved monster...don;t go past 8k  |

What do you mean go in reverse? You hit the rev limiter? I do that EVERY DAY!  Seriously though, not a terribly big issue to hit the limiter. |

Can't over rev - it's got a limiter. While it's a bit harsh that it cuts ignition to prevent over rev, it works. Sounds like you've just got to learn the ways of your duc. I cannot recall a time when in a situation like yours where I looked at the revs. My ears/feel of the bike tell me if I've got more to go. Granted, I've had my 900 linger than the 796 has existed as a model line. But one should not be counting on blinky lights or staring at the tach. Not trying to be critical or harsh - just seems that you need to spend some more time getting to know the song of your Duc  |

You should bang it off that rev limiter daily.

True guys, I need to learn my duc's song with greater intimacy, I've had the 796 for 4 months nearly, and done 4.3k miles, but she is my first duc- I've so far just been marveling at her cornering ability; not since I owned my RS125 and RVF have I been able to lean so far into corners at such speed. For what it's worth I don't actually observe the revs too often, just recently started in a bid to notice the where i'm at in relation to the noise/speed  More rides me thinks and more thrashings, think i've been a little too precious of the engine so far. |

From what I remember of my 796 and it's relation of rpm's to noise speed... 0-4000 - Lumpy 4000-6000 - Comfy 6000-8000 - When the song starts 8000 - When the song ends, change gears to get to the next chorus  |

Easy to follow. I'm still limited to 6000 until my 600-mile service at the end of the month, but I will remember this 4-step plan. |

The rev limiter always makes it difficult to wheelie my lil Monster.

Doesn't the exhaust upgrade kit with the ECU remove the rev limiter?

It bumps it up, but it's still there. |

I was under the impression everything has a rev limiter.
