The other day I was parked in a parking lot in neutral setting up my navigator and some kid waddles over (as they do when they see bikes). I rev the bike a little to amuse him and then go back to my navigator. Distracted I don't notice how he blips my throttle, I'm pretty sure he hit redline very briefly. Don't think he bounced it off the limiter but it was up there by the sound it made. Now I know revving a bike without load is bad for the engine but should I be worried about what happened? It rode fine after and started good the next day but some of these horror stories I read online have me worried.
Thank you.
Errrr yup, should be worries...........lad touches your bike without asking, bounces it off the limiter aaaaaaaaaaaaand you didn't slap him ffs :lol [size=78%] [/size]
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
