is it 8000? and what's the limit on the other quads like the 400ex, raptor, ds650? just curious.

 

I hear 8000-8500 for Z400, I think raptor is at 9000 and not sure bout the 400ex but I think it is fairly low....

 

wierd how the higher displacement motor revs up more than the lower one.

 

uh i dont know if i rember right but i am pretty sure the rev on an ex was somewhere in the 9,000 to 9,500 range. i also believe this cause if you buy a rev box it is increased by like a 1,000 rpm to 10,500 or 10,000. i have money down on the z ( i used to have an ex) and i also wondered why such a low rev limit or maybee it dont make much power after 8,000 rpm. but i have heard of the bike version of this moter (modded) revving in to the 11k rangee easilly.

 

The suzuki guy in the tuesday chat(riva) last week said that the max power is at 8000rpm and the rev limiter is at 9000.

 

i just can't wait for the mods to start trickin' out. i'm a bit torn though on what exhaust i should get. should i wait for FMF or go with yosh since they did "help" build the motor.

 

I've heard, LTZ redlines at 8500, Raptor at 9500, and Yamaha Breeze at 10,500..

 

10,500 hmm. i guess i heard wrong. i thought someone had told me that it could out rev a c-dale.

 

well they are all pretty close, all right on either side of 9000, except the cannondales, aren't they like 11,000 or so??

 

I beleive it goes like this

DS650: 7700
DS Baja: 7900
Cannibal: 10300
Other C-dales: 11300
400EX: around 9500
Z400: around 9000
Raptor: around 9200
