What is the red line RPM for the carburated 865CC engine on a 2007 America? I can't seem to find it in the manual.

There is a rev limiter, programmed into the ignition module.

This is the same bike that needs 3/4 throttle to maintain 70mph on a flat road, eh?

Yea but I fixed that! If you revisit that post. Stripped electrics down and made sure was ok and it just went away. Was wet in places though.
Tomorrow's goal... Hit limiter lol

My tach has no redline marked on it because I was a touch too cheep for the triumph one... However i can now confirm after a very serious and scientific experiment that the 07 America definitely has its limiter at 7550RPM
Now just gonna verify those results ;-D

My red line starts at 7,500 RPM. Experience has the RPM limiter at 8,000 RPM. That was with the factory tune, have not hit the limiter since the Power-Tripp custom tune. We did not discuss changing it.
edit: Just looked at my laptop. All the maps I have for the America/Speedmaster have the 8,000RPM rev limit.

I hit the limiter at 109 mph...
There are no personal problems that cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosives.

Was that the bike's or your limiter.  To hit the limiter at 109mph you must have still been in 4th gear, there is one more slot to pick. At 7550 RPM with 18/42 sprockets top speed is theoretically 134mph. At 8000 RPM it is 142 mph. I have been to 185kph (115mph) @ 6500 rpm and the wind load on the chest and head is pretty good, dont know if I could max out.

Yep Bill, and "theoretically" is the operative word here. There is no way these bikes in stock tune are going to hit the rev-limiter in top gear, and/or exceed on average a top speed of about 115MPH on a level road surface.
They just do not have the horsepower(55-60BHP at the rear wheel, and once again in stock form) to overcome the much higher wind-resistance vehicles start hitting at about the 100MPH mark, and these babies certainly are not aerodynamic in any manner, either.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So far with the Procom ignitor set at 9500, I've only hit the limit once. Down in Arkansas, me and Yota had a little sprint off the line...

Early 790 models rev limiter = 7,500rpm
All 865 models carb & EFI rev limiter = 8,000rpm
