is there a rev limiter on a 2009 Honda Shadow VT740

Just a quick question, do these bikes have a built-in rev limiter? I have a 2009 Honda Shadow VT740. I haven't been able to locate a definitive response. Does anyone know?

Hey, yeah, your 2009 Honda Shadow VT740 definitely has a built-in rev limiter, it's there to keep the engine from redlining and messing things up, so you're good

@Boozeey_ is right, there's definitely one in there. It kicks in pretty gently too, so you might not even notice unless you're really winding it out.

Absolutely, it's a built-in rev limiter that usually engages somewhere between 7,000 and 7,500 RPM. This feature is designed into the ECU programming to safeguard the engine
