That's interesting.
Thanks for the info Carrera.
So my 4000RPM at 70 MPH is so close to your 3943RPM that I wouldn't be able to measure the difference.
If my tacho is accurate to 1.4% I'd be amazed.
It did occur to me to set the shift light to 71/72 MPH so I can actually do 70 without it coming on.
Shift light.

Re: Shift light.
Peak power is at 4400 rpm
Is it a shift light or a speed warning

Re: Shift light.
Both!!
It's a "if you havn't shifted by now, you really should be thinking about it/ you did remember you have a 4th gear right? ah but if you're in 4th, just to let you know in case you're interested, you're doing over 70MPH, congratulations!!!" light.

Re: Shift light.
Yeah, dog leg and all that.
Stick with the 4 speed, the gear change lfeel is so much better. Much prefer my CU to the WBX in that regard
