What's the rpm redline on a Vulcan 500 motorcycle? Would an aftermarket tachometer be a viable option?
Posted by admin | Under Motorcycle Aftermarket Thursday Aug 14, 2008Honestly, I think cruisers should come with tachometers just like sportsbikes.
I know my 2005 Vulcan 500 has the same engine as the Ninja 500 and sometimes I would like to push it to its limits. I am afraid I might blow the engine if I overrev it. So I am planning on installing a tachometer but I need to know the redline. Please help.
You won't over rev your engine. It has a rev-limiter so you don't blow it up. You should actually run up to it once in a while just to clean carbon deposits from the engine.
You will find the rev-limit when in gear and run the throttle wide open…preferably not in first gear. When you do this you will come to a flat spot where the bike won't go any faster or your throttle is open all the way.
